[C320-list] Air Conditioning Installation Question

[Larry & Melissa]

Thanks Steve. That information is very helpful. Any pictures you might have
would be great (theleibmans at verizon.net).

My plan for the installation was virtually identical to what you described
(including the shelf over the unit). The main issue I was still somewhat
undecided on was placement of the primary discharge into the salon. The unit
calls for a minimum of 70 square inches of discharge area and figuring the
small 4" discharge into the aft berth was only on the order of 10-15 square
inches I would still need to fit a grill of something like 5"x12" or 8"x8"
into the main salon. I'm a bit nervous cutting that big of a hole into the
bulkhead above the breadbox but noticed that the area just inboard of the
breadbox seemed to be mainly non-structural. Of course if you look on the
other side of that area it turns out it is in the aft berth not the locker.
I could put a plenum there since that space isn't really used (just need to
leave enough room to open the cockpit portlight). Do you happen to know
off-hand the discharge grill size you used?

Thanks again,

Larry
