6.5 Installation of device to prevent snow
build-up and strong breeze
When installing an air-cooled heat pump chiller in a place with
heavy snow, it is necessary to take snow protection measures to
ensure trouble-free operation of the equipment.
Otherwise, accumulated snow will block the air flow and may cause
equipment problems.

6.5.1 Measures used to prevent problems
caused by snow
1) Measures to prevent build-up of snow
The base height should be as least the same as the predicted
snow depth in the local area.

2) Lightning protection and snow protection measures
Check the installation site thoroughly; do not install the equipment
under awnings or trees or a place where snow is piled up.
6.5.2 Precautions for designing a snow cover
1) To ensure a sufficient air flow required by the air-cooled heat
pump chiller, design a protective cover to make the dust
resistance 1 mm H O or less lower than the allowable external
2
static pressure of air-cooled heat pump chiller.
2) The protective cover must be strong enough to withstand the
snow weight and the pressure caused by strong wind and
typhoon.
3) The protective cover must not cause short circuit of air
discharge and suction.
