Where will you locate the ACCU of the convenience store?

Locating the air-cooled condensing unit (ACCU) outside the store is the most practical and commonly adopted solution for several reasons. First, placing the ACCU outside enables effective heat dissipation, which is essential for the unit's performance. Air-cooled systems require air to flow through the condenser coils for cooling; positioning it outdoors maximizes airflow and maintains efficient operation.

Additionally, keeping the ACCU outside minimizes noise disruption and heat transfer within the store, contributing to a more comfortable shopping environment. By situating it away from the main customer area, it also protects the unit from potential physical damage caused by foot traffic or store operations.

While it might be tempting to consider other locations, such as the ceiling or at the parapet, these options can restrict airflow and hinder the performance of the cooling system. Similarly, placing the unit in front of the store poses aesthetic concerns and can interfere with entrances or walkways, creating safety and accessibility issues.
