The air diverters are designed to direct air up and away from any obstruction at an angle of 45°. This prevents the hot air in summer and cool air in winter being recirculated.
For efficient operation and decreased running costs the outdoor unit needs to use clean ambient temperature air.
Reduce wear and tear on your outdoor unit, extend its service lifetime and improve indoor comfort.
Before you purchase your air diverter, it is important to take measurements of the grille on your outdoor unit…
Step 1:
In the image to the right, measure section A & B of the grille on your outdoor unit, and if you have 2 fans on your unit, measure C as well.
Step 2:
Choose an air diverter listed below that has measurements closest to your grille measurement (A&B), but more than your width measurement. The height measurement can vary a little. It’s always good to have a few extra cm than your width measurement to account for the air diverter fixings. For example, if you have a 540h x 540w mm grille, choose the Air Diverter 6 Blade – 540h x 608w.
Note: If your outdoor unit has two fans and requires two diverters, make sure the height of the diverters and C measurement do not exceed the height of your unit.
Ford & Doonan’s air diverters are an effective solution. The air diverters are designed to direct air up and away from any obstruction at an angle of 45°. This prevents the hot air in summer and cool air in winter being recirculated. For efficient operation and decreased running costs the outdoor unit needs to use clean ambient temperature air.
The air diverters installed, your air conditioner can expel hot air sideways and over boundary fences, allowing the system to reach the desired set-point faster and maintain the temperature in a more efficient way.
Air diverters can be retrofitted to most existing reverse cycle ducted and split system air conditioners. Installation can be done as a DIY project or by a Ford & Doonan technician during your next service.
