The procedures to be followed to identify signifi cant environmental impact must take the following factors into account:
- use of raw materials and natural resources
- atmospheric emissions
- discharge of liquids
- waste management and recycling
- contamination of the soil
In order to minimise environmental impact, the manufacturer provides a series of indications here below that should be taken into account by all those
who, for whatever reason, interact with the appliance during its working life.
- all packing components must be disposed of (preferably recycled) in compliance with statutory legislation in the country in which disposal
takes place
- all product components must be disposed of (preferably recycled) in compliance with statutory legislation in the country in which disposal
takes place
- for correct disposal, the appliance must be consigned to an authorised waste disposal company to ensure that all recyclable components
are reused and the remaining materials are processed properly
- during installation ensure the room has adequate ventilation to prevent the build-up of stale air that might be harmful to the health of the
operators
- during operation and maintenance ensure that any waste pollutant products
(oil, grease, etc.) are disposed of correctly
- keep noise levels down to reduce noise pollution

1.3. Description of the air conditioner
This air conditioner has been designed and manufactured to be installed
onto vehicles (i.e. camping-cars, caravans, motorhomes) to improve the
temperature conditions. It supplies fresh and dehumidifi ed air in summer
and warm air in winter without, in any case, replacing the heating system
of the vehicle. In both cases, temperature is set by the user.
Fresh air - Running
The system is inclusive of: compressor ( a ), condenser ( b ), evapora-
tor ( d ) and refrigerant gas under pressure. According to the physical
state of the refrigerant gas -i.e. liquid or gaseous, it heats or cools the
components where it passes through.
Fan ( c ) forces the internal air through the cooled evaporator from where
it comes out cooled down and dehumidifi ed.
This action, protracted over the time, reduces the temperature into
the vehicle.
Hot air – Description of operation
The refrigerant gas cycle can be inverted by a solenoid valve (f). The
heat accumulated by the refrigerant gas is dispersed by the internal
heat exchanger which uses the fan (c) to deliver the heat into the
passenger compartment. Over time, this increases the temperature
inside the vehicle.
