Notes:
Evaporator size should not be decided by the amount of area available behind the dash. The size of the unit used should be based upon the amount of capacity needed to keep the car or truck comfortable.
The performance of the evaporator can be enhanced by the following:
* Insulating the vehicle completely from outside heat, including upper cowl section, firewall, headliner, door panels, inner kick panels, etc..
* Seal all window and door openings as well as cowl vents with quality rubber seals.
* Slightly tinting the glass of the vehicle to reduce ultraviolet rays from entering the vehicle. (This will also preserve your interior for longer life as well.
Hot Rod Air Elite Series evaporators should be mounted where the hose adaptors point upward. This is important, as mounting the unit in any other orientation will not allow condensation to properly drain from the unit.
When installing the thermostat capillary tube into the unit, it should not be pushed to the bottom of the unit. If installed this way, the thermostat will run based upon condensation water temperature rather than coil temperature, causing the freeze up of the coil.
If you are running a smooth firewall, install the evaporator prior to painting by welding the mounting brackets to the inner firewall, to maintain the smooth appearance in the engine compartment. |
