12.2 enclosure design
Additional openings in the closure are not acceptable since the DHC™ system relies on the "chimney effect" cre-
ated through the appliance and the enclosure.
By adding additional air inlet(s) to an enclosure, air can bypass the appliance, which increases the operating
temperature of the appliance and around the appliance opening. This is counterproductive when trying to demon-
strate the benefi ts of heat management to potential customers. In extreme cases, the appliance may become hot
enough for the high limit switch to shut down the appliance.
note:
The outside of the enclosure must be fi nished on all four sides and must include a complete fl oor.
