Shane Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hoping someone can answer my question. I have a couple of Daikin AC units which I intend to transport and they will be in the vehicle for a couple of days. My question is regarding the external units. Is it safe to transport these on their side/front etc, or do they have to be transported upright? Or are they like fridges that can be transported how you like, so long as you give the compressor oil time to settle back down afterwards. I have tried google and looked in the installation manual but cant find the answer. The manual: http://www.daikintech.co.uk/Data/Split-Sky-Air-Outdoor/RXS/2009/RXS-G2V1B/RXS50G2V1B_IM.pdf Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Daiken used mini scroll compressors in the light commercial a/c range when I was involved in that market area but that is about 20 years ago now. Visited their factory in Japan a few times to push oils for their compressors. Assuming nothings changed you don't need to worry where the oil is in the system as the refrigerant will bring it back to the compressor when the compressor runs. From a compressor standpoint it isn't a big deal how they are stood as the internal configuration is designed for how they run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
