Units are not designed tooperate at the minimum/maximum conditions on a regular basis. The operatinglimits are dependent upon three primary factors: 1) water temperature, 2) returnair temperature, and 3) ambient temperature. When any of the factors are at theminimum or maximum levels, the other two factors must be at the normal level forproper and reliable unit operation.ASTON DUAL-CAPACITY OUTDOOR SPLIT SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL
