INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HERON 2.2

The Heron 2.2 is suitable for installation in most caravans & motorhomes. Installation in Commercial and

Industrial vehicles and equipment should be referred to AIRCOMMAND AUST for assessment of

suitability. The Heron System must be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.

The capacity of the airconditioner to adequately cool or heat a van, is dependent on:

• The size of the van or vehicle.

• The thickness and quality of thermal insulation installed in the van.

• The expected outside or ambient conditions.

The Heron 2.2 is recommended for vans up to 5.2 m overall, but

assumes that wall and ceilings are insulated with a minimum of

25 mm of insulation, wool or foam. The Heron 2.2 may be used

in vans up to 7 metre provided the insulation is a minimum

38mm thick and all windows are double insulated. Windows

should all have shades or curtains as a minimum.

If the van is to be used mainly in extreme conditions (40°C plus),

then be conservative, i.e. ensure the best insulation is installed,

consider double glazed windows, and size the airconditioner

down to 4.8 m maximum.

DESCRIPTION OF THE HERON 2.2 SYSTEM

The HERON 2.2 is a split system,

utilizing a condenser set (referred to

throughout this text as a CON/SET)

and an airhandler

(referred to as an A/H).

The Con/set is designed for installation

beneath a bunk, settee, or in the bottom

of a floor cupboard. Refer fig. 1 for dimensions.

The A/H is designed for fitment into an overhead cupboard

or similar, and comes complete with facia and controls.

See fig. 2.

The A/H and CON/SET are coupled by means of a pair of

refrigerant lines, and a control cable. The pipework is not

supplied with the unit, but a standard 7 m control cable is.

Before proceeding with the installation, consider a number of important details that must be complied with

in the following description.

CHOOSING A POSITION FOR THE CON/SET

Generally, avoid installation on the left hand side (awning side), as the condenser set will discharge hot air

into this space.

Australia & UK (LHS of road) it is usual to install the con/set on the right hand side, either under a bunk,

settee or at the bottom of a floor cupboard. Conversly, continental Europe (RHS of road) the con/set should

be on the left hand side.

NOTE: Ensure that wherever the con/set is installed, reasonable access to the top of the unit is always

available, for service, and any shelving etc. above, must be easily removed. Also, the two line valves on the

back of the unit must be easily accessed.

The maximum length of pipework between the Con/set and the A/H is 5 metres. Installations exceeding this

may require extra refrigerant to be added to the system.

INSTALLING THE CONDENSER SET

■

Marking out the floor

Use the floor template as provided (or refer to fig. 3). Both, or either end of the con/set may be hard against

a wall or panel, but the back of the unit must have sufficient clearance to allow easy access to the line

valves (see fig. 4). Once a convenient position has been decided upon, place the template, side marked

“Inside Wall”, hard against the inside skin of the van, and mark out the six 114 mm diameter (4

1/2”)

condenser air inlet holes, and the square compressor well hole (see fig. 3).

Note: Check to see if any structural floor members will interfere with any of these holes. It is essential that

the compressor well is unimpeded. The compressor feet project through the well by 4 to 5 mm, therefore

clearance of at least 8 mm must be maintained between the well and any floor members. Eg. Angles or

tubes. Lack of clearance will result in noise and vibration. See fig 5.

The air inlet holes will tolerate some obstruction.

However the total area must not be less than 75% of

the inlet holes in the chassis. DO NOT install fine

mesh (flywire) over the inlet holes.

We recommend that a hole saw be used to cut out the

six round holes. If a structural member is beneath,

then the complete cut out can be removed. The gap

between the top of the structural member and the

underside of the unit (i.e. the floor thickness) will

help in overcoming the restriction of the member.

■ Marking out the wall

Now mark out the hole in the wall for the condenser

discharge grille (see fig. 5).

Mark out the position and size of the air outlet hole,

from inside the van, using the floor as reference.

Pilot holes can be drilled at the four corners, and the

hole cut out from the outside. It is essential to frame

up this hole to give a firm seal to the air outlet from

the con/set and to stop any discharge air from

entering the wall space.

■ Positioning of the Con/set

Lay down a generous bead of silicone on the floor to

match the perimeter of the Con/set. Now, lift the Con/

set into position, and check that the compressor well

does not interfere and prevent the con/set from sitting

firmly on the floor.

Push the Con/set hard up against the wall.

It is vital that the Con/set seals hard against the

inside wall to ensure no hot air leakage during

operation.

To secure the Con/set in position, use the three hold

down clips provided (see fig. 4). These clip over the

edge of the chassis. At least one clip should be

installed on the back edge to ensure the good airseal

is maintained against the inside wall. Screw the clips

firmly to the floor.

PIPE INSTALLATION & CONTROL WIRING

The pipe work consists of a

1

/4” tube (liquid line), and a

3

/8” tube (return gas) running between the Con/set and

the A/H. The

3

/8” line must be insulated with 10 x 10

mm foam rubber insulation.

Connection is made at the side of the Con/set. Pipe work

may be run internally to the A/H, or may be run through

holes in the floor and run externally to a convenient

re-entry point, or the pipes may be built into the

wallspace during van construction. NB. Pipework

installed in walls must be well insulated to avoid

“sweating” and possible long term moisture damage.

The control wiring will normally follow the pipework

and be taped to it. NB. If the control cable is to be run

externally, then it must be run in a suitable conduit.

Now refer to the A/H installation, after which we return

to the Con/set to open up the refrigeration circuit and fit

the panel.

AIR HANDLER INSTALLATION

If possible, the A/H should be installed at either end of the van, such that unimpeded air flow is obtained

down the length of the van.

If this is not possible, install the A/H in as central a position as possible.

6 MOST IMPORTANT POINTS THAT MUST BE SATISFIED

1. The distance from the back of the cupboard to the back of the A/H must not be less than 90 mm

to allow proper air entry to the fan. Insufficient gap will also increase the noise level.

2. Two separate return air grilles/filters are supplied, and must be installed. If only one is used, this

will reduce the air volume back to the fan and hence the capacity of the airconditioner.

3. The airhandler must be fitted allowing a minimum space of 25 mm between the right hand of the

A/H and the wall, and likewise 25 mm between the top of the A/H and the inside top of cupboard.

4. The return air grilles/filters, should be fitted as far back as is possible to provide a more direct

path for air to flow back to the fan.

5. The A/H has a condensate drain underneath. This drain must continuously “fall” from the outlet. It

is recommended that the bottom of the A/H be 75 mm above the bottom of the cupboard, to allow

adequate fall.

A lesser amount is ok, provided much care is exercised to avoid “humps” that will result in

airlocks and backup & overflow of condensate.

6. The A/H must be supported from beneath.

It is recommended that the minimum cupboard dimensions be

525 wide x 340 high x 340 deep.

The Air Handler has been designed to operate in a cupboard or enclosure as described on this page.

Under no circumstances is the resistance to airflow to be increased by ducting the supply or return air.

Refer to fig. 7 & 8 and the full size template provided in the kit

Mark out the A/H cut out as per fig. 7. Ensure the choice of

location satisfies the following:

A. The Facia panel will be centrally located.

B. The right hand edge of the cutout is a minimum of 50 mm

from right hand end of the cupboard. This will ensure that

when the A/H is installed, a minimum space of 25 mm exists

down the side of the A/H, as requested on page 3.

C. The left hand side of the A/H must be a minimum of 110 mm

from the LHS of the cupboard to allow pipes to be connected.

(Refer fig. 8)

D. The bottom of the cutout should be at least 75 mm above the

bottom of cupboard to allow the condensate drain to “fall”

away sufficiently.

■ Fitting of the 2 return air grilles/filters

Provided the cupboard is 525 mm wide or more, the two

grilles can be installed side by side in the underside of the

cupboard. (Refer fig. 9)

In the case of pop top vans, it may be convenient to install one of

the two through the top. Make sure however, that both are

installed.

Place the grilles as far back as is possible to allow the most direct

route of the air to the fan inlet.

Cut out size for each grille is 158 x 232.

The following describes the procedure for both a cupboard with a

removable front, and a cupboard with a front that is not easily

disassembled. Typically the latter type will have 4 to 5 mm ply

which will need reinforcing around the perimeter of the cutout

and tying to the main structural members of the cupboard assy.

Cut rectangular hole as detailed in fig. 7.

Use adhesive tape to stick down the template. Drill holes at the

corners of the cutout to allow a jig saw to cut out the entire

cutaway.

It is important to cut the hole out accurately.

If the front panel is a solid 19 mm panel, the A/H will not need

additional support. If however the front panel is light ply,

then this must be strengthened after cutting out as per the

template. This framing should be 20 mm thick to provide the

necessary support, and should tie in with the main cupboard

members, to support the weight of the Airhandler.

■ Installation of the refrigeration pipe work and

condensate drain

The 9.5 mm Ø and the 6.4 Ø pipes can enter either side of the

cupboard, and be carefully manipulated to make the connection to

the Airhandler. The 9.5 Ø pipe must be insulated entirely.

The condensate drain is normally run vertically. 12 mm hose or poly

pipe is preferred. Two elbows are provided in the installation kit to

change direction from the vertical run to the horizontal to connect

the airhandler. Failure to use this elbow usually results in a hump in

the drain which may impede drainage, or a kink refer fig.10

.

■ Now Install the Air Handler

Insert the A/H into the front panel, and shift to the right as far as possible such that the right hand

flange is fully over the front panel. Now insert a screw to hold the A/H in place while the copper tubes

are manipulated to line up with the respective nipples.

Mark any excess tube to be cut off, and remove the A/H to allow the flare nuts to be put on and the

flares made. Unscrew both flare nuts from the nipples of the A/H, ensuring the sealing caps are

removed.

See page 6 for tips on making flares.

Having completed the flaring, reinstall the A/H, remembering to shift it fully to the right after insertion.

Couple the flare nut connections and do up firmly.

INSTALL BITUMINOUS TAPE AROUND 9.5 FLARE NUT AT THE A/H.

From the Installation kit provided, take the length of bituminous tape and wrap it around the

3

/8 flare nut

and joining the foam rubber insulation already on the pipe. The purpose of this is to avoid formation of

condensate, which may drip into the cupboard. Install control plate.

Never ever use thread sealing compounds on the flare as possible system contamination can occur and a

blockage may result.

INSTALL CONTROL PANEL.

1. Plug service lead into power point but leave the

power turned off (see fig 14)

2. Plug the condenser set control cable (3 pin plug)

and the Air Handler control cable (8 pin plug) into

their respective sockets at the back of the switch

box (see fig 15).

3. Turn power point on.

4. Push control panel flush against the face of the

cupboard and then slide to the right to engage

with the fascia panel. Hold the control panel in

place with two screws. Cover screw heads with the

caps provided. (see fig 16)

Figure 14

Figure 15

Figure 16

POWER SUPPLY

The unit is designed to plug into a normal mains electricity supply.

This plug must be accessible after installation. If a new plug is installed, then it

must be positioned near to the airhandler and be easily accessible.

Note:

The supply cord is designated Type F. If replacement is necessary it should be

replaced by an Aircommand approved technician.

■ Tips on Making Flare Joints

1. Always use a proper Tube Cutter to cut tube to length (Never Ever a

Hacksaw).

2. Remember to put the flare nut on the tube prior to making flare.

3. Always deburr the inside of the tube. Buy a proper deburring tool to do this. It

is a good idea to wipe around the inside of the tube to wipe away any copper

particles that may have come off during deburring.

NB.

If an inside burr is left on, the flaring head will inevitably drive this burr onto the

surface of the flare, resulting in a pitted flare face, which will almost certainly

leak.

4. Clamp the tube in the flaring block firmly. For 1/4” tube (6.4Ø), the unflared

tube should protrude 1.0 mm. For 3/8” tube (9.5Ø) the unflared tube should

protrude 1.5 mm. See Fig. I, J & K

5. The flaring head should be lubricated with a smear of oil. (Preferably vacuum

pump oil).

Tighten down flaring head by:

a) Contact tube with flare head

b) Advance 3/4 turn

c) Back off 1/4 turn

d) Advance 3/4 turn etc, until flare

has bottomed in the anvil (don’t

tighten on the bottom).

This oscillating manner will ensure an accurate contour and guard against

splitting.

6. Check that the resulting flare shows a bright continuous ring around the face,

and no imperfections exist.

CHARGING THE SYSTEM

The system is charged with R22 or R407C as marked in Austrualia / New

Zealand or R407C in Europe, which is a prescribed refrigerant gas. Most

states / countries will require the installer to have an appropriate license.

The condenser set is factory precharged, but the Air handler and connecting

pipework needs to be evacuated of noncondensables.

Please note: In Australia, state/country laws re the handling of prescribed

refrigerants may prohibit the purging method. Such laws take precedence.

Method

• Use a vacuum pump to remove noncondensables from A/H & pipework.

• Tighten all flare nut connections on both the Con/set and the A/H.

• Remove schrader valve caps and connect manifold gauge hoses, preferably to both valves (make sure

valve depressors are set ok).

• If both hoses are fitted, then evacuate for 10 minutes.

• If only one, then evacuate for 15 mins.

• Check that the pump maintains a high vacuum by isolating systems with manifold gauge taps and

observing suction gauge.

• Remove both stem caps, then isolate the vac. pump, before turning on both valve stems. Fully

backseat both, and refit caps.

• Now check for leaks.

LEAK TESTING

It is of the utmost importance that a leak check is made on the 4 flare nut connections. A leak,

however small, will result in the aircon system losing capacity and endanger the compressor.

1. Use either soapy water, or a proprietary leak test solution.

Paint on each flare nut (particularly the neck) and inspect carefully for any telltale bubbles. Use a torch

to improve visibility, particularly in the A/H area.

Any leak will generally be remedied by further tightening of the flare nut. In the event of a faulty flare,

the line valves must be turned off, the A/H pumped out, and the flare remade.

2. Use an ELECTRONIC leak detector - preferred.

Test initially on low sensitivity, examining in particular the neck of each flare nut. Increase the

sensitivity until you are confident that no leak exists.

TEST TO BE CARRIED OUT BY INSTALLER PRIOR TO DELIVERY

COOLING: (ref fig.17)

NB. The unit will not run on cooling if the inside temp. is much below 18°C.

1. Turn fan speed selector to (Hi Speed Cooling)

2. Turn mode selector to (Cooling)

3. Adjust the thermostat counter clockwise until the condenser set is heard to

start.

Ensure that cold air is being discharged, and there are no pipe rattles etc. After

about 15 minutes of running, and providing the inside temp. is above 20°C, then

the discharge air should be 12°C or cooler than the return air.

HEATING: (ref fig.17)
