Louvers
AIO series units can be vented through all kinds of custom and creative solutions. The possibilities are endless, from perforated panels to custom louvers. In the design above, FXCollaborative Architects created a facade with no visible louvers. The supply and exhaust airflow behind the panels and then through the gap below the windows, achieving an aesthetically pleasing and water-resistant solution.
Key Specifications
Many louver/grille/venting solutions can be designed work with AIO and meet the performance requirements. There are two critical factors in selecting and sizing a solution that will work with AIO series heat pumps:
Free area is the area on a louver/grille open for the air to flow through. The louver, perforated panel, or other solution must have at least the amount of free area as required in the specifications below, in the plenum from the unit, so that ample air can enter and exit the condenser chamber. A more restrictive solution with a smaller free area can be utilized by enlarging the louver and plenum until the required free area is achieved.
| Model | Supply (sq. ft.) | Exhaust (sq. ft.) |
|---|---|---|
| Wall mounted | 0.21 | 0.21 |
| Wall mounted Pro | 0.34 | 0.34 |
| Ceiling concealed | 0.34 | 0.34 |
| Ceiling suspedned | 0.34 | 0.34 |
| Vertical stack | 0.34 | 0.34 |
| Model | Max CFM | Total (in.w.g.) |
|---|---|---|
| Wall mounted | 350 | 0.25 |
| Wall mounted Pro | 490 | 0.45 |
| Ceiling concealed | 640 | 0.45 |
| Ceiling suspedned | 640 | 0.70 |
| Vertical stack | 640 | 0.70 |
