Peterbilt 379 Installation Guidelines

LOCATING THE COMPONENTS

The Dometic remote auxiliary air conditioning system

consists of two basic components: an outside

condensing unit, which contains the condenser and

an exhaust fan, and an inside unit, which contains

the compressor, heater, evaporator and blower

(CHEB). The two units are connected by precharged

refrigerant lines with quick-connect ﬁttings.

Determine where best to install the CHEB (Fig. 1).

Refer to the manual that came with the CHEB for

more information. Keep in mind that the driver’s side

luggage box is probably one of the most used storage

areas, so for your ongoing storage convenience,

consider the passenger's side luggage box, then

the center storage area, and lastly the driver’s side

box for CHEB installation. Use the CHEB template to

determine the best place to mount the unit.

The Dometic condenser may be installed either under

or behind the sleeper (Figs. 2a-2b).

IMPORTANT!

Refer to the Dometic installation manual

for details on installing and connecting the

CHEB and condensing unit.
