Is it better to hang this unit from the ceiling against a wall or hang it centrally located? I don't know which position will have a "better" airflow.

I have mine hanging from the ceiling, against the wall, to the right of my lathe. Was able to hang a strong LED light from the bottom with a couple rare earth magnets. Seems to work well.

I hung mine adjacent to a wall and toward a corner so the filtered air would deflect off a back wall and create a circular movement of air around my 16X24 shop.

It's better to mount where it will pull the heat OUT, thereby bringing in cooler air unimpeded by other airflow inside the cabinet. If you blow air into the cabinet, it may not be able to exit as quickly and you would get air blowing back around the inside of the cabinet and impeding airflow into the cabinet. Think of it his way, if you blow into a paper cup with a fairly small hole in it, you can only "blow" so much air in and the rest comes back out at you. to avoid this potential problem, you will get the maximum airflow through the cabinet by pulling in air that is exhausted out by the fan.

Attaching the heater to the return (out) line is what the manufacturer recommends. Mount it in a way so no air can get trapped in the heater. Straight up and down is recommended. I have my two at a 45 degree angle.

I've tried both ways and in my setup, it was better to put upside down to blow directly on the warmest component. The fans move a lot of air. Try it one way and then another and compare what feels cooler. Even better if you can measure the temperature.

I have two of these, one I installed with a down rod and the other I did not. So far I have not had any issues w/ either of them but I understand the air flow might be better if you install the down rod.

Hang it from the ceiling, but be sure to use springs at the attachment points, because of the vibration from the cheap out of balance fans they use.

It is a question of how efficiently it would function on a table. The instructions state that the unit should be hung at least 6 feet above the floor, so the airflow must be designed for that location. Perhaps if you had a very tall table........

I positioned mine in the corner angled so that it creates a continues airflow in the room. The owners manual provides an illustration of this.

I don't believe the installation instruction specify a figure but more space is better for cooling air flow. More space may allow for less usage of the cooling fan.

Horizontal mounting not advised. This controller is designed to be mounted vertically for the best air flow over the vertical cooling fins on the back. Leave 5+ inches clear above and below for warm air to escape. Might be able to mount horizontal using spacers and a fan(?) but vertical works best.

There is a small hanger on the bottom of the unit that will allow you to hang it from a hook. Be aware that the base would hang down away from the ceiling about 2 inches.

I think higher would be better. It only takes 2 small holes to mount it, and they could be filled later with spackle if necessary. The unit is not heavy and would not have to be at the very top of the wall, just up near the ceiling,( but where you could reach it to replace the battery when needed ).

Mine is hooked up to ductwork...would defeat the purpose of having it hug the ceiling because it won't take the moisture out of the room. It's very quiet and works like a charm.

I believe the most important spacing is the back where the fan is located. The unit will need to be at least 4 inches fro the wall to allow adequate air flow.

You can also call the manufacture and they will provide details. I call asking about ceiling vs. Vertical wall mounting

The air flows in the front panel and out a vent on the top of the unit. You can definitely put the unit in a corner or up against a wall.

Yes you will want to put this in the center. It helps circulate the air more and lessens the heat being absorbed into the walls when placed in the center. We place ours by the induct to the furnace and leave the fan on to help circulate the heat throughout the whole house and when the furnace has to kick on it does so automatically.
