Anyone understand Duo-Therm Rooftop AC units?

Just picked one up from a friend for nuttin'

Neither he or I know if it works or not. The fan runs but I don't hear anything kicking in so maybe it needs work. But, its been below 60 degrees here lately and the manual says it has 65 degrees as its coldest temp.

Anyone know how to bypass the thermostat so I can see if it needs service or not?

Cheers

take it inside...

 

LMAO!

Dammit, that makes a lot of sense................

 

is it a heat pump? If so.. if it will heat it will cool, post up any model info you can find on it

 

It's cold only but you can buy an optional heater element.

It's an older Duo Therm, brisk air 579
11,0000 btu.

I just figured I could bypass the thermostat somehow.

 

Hook a heater up and blow it onto the thermostat???

 

Not a good idea, if the freon is not allowed to expand back gas and liquid is introduced to compressor it will hydrolock and ruin compressor.
You would need to also use heater on the evaporator if u go this route.

 

Fuggit,

I am going to bring it in the house.
Wife will love this.....lol
