Why Air
conditioning Condensing Units Need Clearance
Air
conditioning condensate units are often mounted directly on the ground
to save money or the engineer installing the unit lack of knowledge of
the problems of not having them. The problem with mounting an air
conditioning condensing unit directly on the floor is that when the
weather turns cold the units performance is inhibited because it cannot
get rid of its defrost condensate water on the outdoor unit when on
heating. Most condensing units require at least 100mm clearance to clear
the drain off condensate water and to reduce freezing up of the drain
points. The eventual consequence of incorrect clearance is that the
drain points ice up, the defrost water cannot drain off and the lower
coil begins to form an ice ball which builds up. When the condensing
unit is on heat pump mode the coil evaporation temperature can be lower
than -20DegC. With the coil being at that temperature any water dropping
onto it will freeze. Please see example below of units with issues in
the cold.
