Storage and Handling
 To ensure that deterioration of the Fan Coil Unit does not occur during storage, the following
recommendations must be adhered to:
 Stacks should be protected from weather elements using placing tarpaulins or similar sheets over
them securely fixed to the support posts, to provide protected and shaded conditions and at the
same time allow a free passage of air around the pipes.
 Fan Coil Unit should be stored in sheltered conditions that are protected from weather elements
and accidental damage.
 The modules of FCU are packed in plastic sheeting at the factory and strapped on wooden pallets
for transport, storage, and handling at the site.
 Protect the FCU modules against dust, rain, and sunshine at the site. It should be protected from
weather elements using placing tarpaulins or similar sheets over them securely fixed to the
support posts, to provide protected and shaded conditions and at the same time allow a free
passage of air around the units.
 If modules are stacked for storage, make sure the weight of the upper module is evenly
distributed over the frame of the lower module.
