Peterbilt 379 Installation Guidelines
LOCATING THE COMPONENTS
The Dometic remote auxiliary air conditioning system
consists of two basic components: an outside
condensing unit, which contains the condenser and
an exhaust fan, and an inside unit, which contains
the compressor, heater, evaporator and blower
(CHEB). The two units are connected by precharged
refrigerant lines with quick-connect fittings.
Determine where best to install the CHEB (Fig. 1).
Refer to the manual that came with the CHEB for
more information. Keep in mind that the driver’s side
luggage box is probably one of the most used storage
areas, so for your ongoing storage convenience,
consider the passenger's side luggage box, then
the center storage area, and lastly the driver’s side
box for CHEB installation. Use the CHEB template to
determine the best place to mount the unit.
The Dometic condenser may be installed either under
or behind the sleeper (Figs. 2a-2b).
IMPORTANT!
Refer to the Dometic installation manual
for details on installing and connecting the
CHEB and condensing unit.
