Hi World - I need some info:
I'm working to add A/C to my build and I found this little set up that's 10.5" wide, 8.5" deep and 4.5" tall. What I don't know is what's possible in terms of orientation of these evaporator/ fan units. I know they have to drain any condensation (and not into the motor, etc.) but assuming I address that: - Is there any appreciable impact to how the evap unit performs if it were stood on end, turned upside down, etc.? Essentially, does refrigerant care about flowing up vs down vs sideways? - Do any of the other components, like the expansion valve, care about orientation? If needed, I'm totally OK with cutting up the case, making one that suites my needs and reusing the components. Or, if there are other considerations, if I'm missing something, please let me know. Thanks in advance for any help! Chris Attached thumbnail(s)
