To determine best location for your chiller, you should consider proper air ventilation, operating temperatures, and protection from environmental dust/dirt. Poor positioning will shorten the lifespan of your chiller and increase the frequency of emergency repairs. It is important to read and follow all the manufacturer's instructions and requirements for chiller installation.

The chiller should be located in a well-ventilated area, away from other heat sources (including other chillers and HVAC equipment) and bushes or trees that may produce seasonal pollen. Pay special attention to make sure there is plenty of space around the intake and exhaust of the chiller. Check the chiller specific documents for minimum clearance requirements.

Whether on the ground, rooftop, or elevated platform, chillers need a solid foundation. Pay particular attention if you are replacing a different brand of chiller. Each chiller has a different mounting footprint that is noted in the chiller specific documents below.
