Cabinet AC Placement and Internal Hot-Air Management

Why Mount High

Hot air is less dense and collects at the cabinet top. The AC intake should sit near the top to capture hot air, while cold air is discharged low, creating top-down circulation that prevents hot spots.

FAQ

Can the AC mount at the bottom?

Not advised. Cold air rises and hot air stays on top, causing stratification, hot spots and lower efficiency.

What does short-cycling do?

The condenser re-ingests its own hot discharge, causing abnormal pressure, higher energy use and compressor overheat trips.
