How much open space is required around the unit; i.e. How close to the wall? How close to window curtains? Which sides have vents if any?

Vents are located up top - and there is a sliding mechanism that allows you to open it up from the inside. As to your other questions, you can have it as close as you want, i actually have my sauna butted right up to two walls (in a corner).. never an issues. If you're worried about heat on the outside, its virtually nonexistent.

There's only a vent at the top of the sauna. You open the vent after using the sauna. The sides and the back and the bottoms have your infra red heaters. The paper work say to keep 5 inches clearance between the sauna and any wall. I wouldn't know about a window because I don't have mine near a window. As far as heating coming from around your sauna I have never felt any heat coming from the outside of my sauna. There maybe some danger that I cannot forsee but I can not see any.

The vent is on the top, you only have to have room for the door. You can put in a corner with no problem

I have it within a few inches of the back wall. I don't think there are any restrictions about space around the unit, although my sauna is open on 3 sides, the outside doesn't seem to get too warm. Check the manual. The vent for the sauna is in the roof. There are narrow windows on each side near the front, which you wouldn't want to block.

If I remember right I have read that at least 5" on back, sides and top. I have not notice any heat or vents on the outside of mine.

The vents are on the top and on the bottom, I have my unit in the corner of a room and is right next to the walls like 3-4 inches away.

I have mine in the basement and lts about 3 inch from the wall and vents are on top of unit.

I believe the required clearance is only about 3 inches. There are no "vents" in the exterior. Because this is radiant heat, the exterior really does not get very hot. Google this spa and you can find a pdf of the manual with the exact instructions, including assembly instructions as well. I found this very helpful as the booklet included with the spa, though the exact same content as the pdf, was very small and hard to read. The pdf is full-size and much easier.

Typically at least 6 inches from the wall and at least that for the sides. This model is not meant to be built-in tocabinetry, recessed or put underneath a counter. Additionally this model is not meant to be used in an enclosed area.While the back of the unit does produce a minimal amount of heat, it still needs to vent to an open area.

The unit is 18 1/2. The included side pieces wont fit, so you would have to seal the sides another way. I recommend a different brand due to the Frigidaire super loud beep when adjusting settings, and lack of a fresh air lever (this lets you blow fresh air in, most units 8000 and below don't have this!). There are days when it's cool outside and too warm inside.... there's nothing I can do about it with one window!

Well, I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for, in terms of an installation kit or even if you need one, but the air condition is VERY simple to install w/ what comes in the box. Of course, the situation may depend on the type of windows you have if you have to modify or add a little extra (maybe a bit of plywood or whatnot if you need to adjust the ac positioning). But overall, if you have typical windows, then you really shouldn't need anything else. @Robyn, As I mentioned above, it's not really that hard to install, but I would suggest (considering you situation, as you stated) to at least make sure you have someone else there to help you get it in just right--maybe a younger relative, friend, or such. I pretty able-bodied but due to how my window that I had my old ac was right where my bed was (and I sure as heck wasn't moving my bed! lol); my daddy helped my from the outside while I did the secure and screwing from on top my bed. So, yeah, while it's not will it's not difficult it's not something you should do by yourself, if you don't have to. The way you describe your windows sound like how mines open--as long as your window can open about a foot or 2 you should be fine. The ac is not ridiculously huge of anything so you (hopefully) shouldn't have to remove anything extra. But again, I can't exactly speak for your window specifically (b/c I can't see it).

The only ventilation is the space in the back which you use for your cables with the cabinet door closed. There is ample space between the shelves. And ... you can leave the doors off the unit if you choose.

If it's a couple feet away from curtains you should be ok. I meant that in an enclosed area it gets the ambient temperature hot. Air circulation and heat are always the issues inside. If heat is a concern then go led and or ad fans.

3 3/4 inside room---- unit is upstairs cannot measure outside, but window is about an inch - hope that helps-- great unit by the way

There are "side panels" that take up a minimum amount of space as well. It's possible if you don't install the "wings" on the AC unit, but it'd be TIGHT and worse, you might have no way to fill the space on both sides of the unit if it's installed without the expandable side spacers. You'd have to fill in around the opening with other materials, which could be problematic.

I have two units. I use them in two separate bedrooms. Occasionally I put both in open concept living area. The air in the rooms has a much fresher, cleaner and cooler feel to it. (Open concept area about 1000 sq ft)

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.

The part of the unit that extends on the Inside is about 2". The rest of the unit is through the wall and extends on the Outside about 14". I don't remember the exact dimensions but only about 2" is on the inside. If you are concerned about the part on the outside, you would to allow at least another 12" beyond the 14" for air circulation.

I have two of these in a hallway with no windows. I am happy with them but I can't assist you with any information regarding windows.Rob

This unit is not designed for an open area. It is more suited for a closet or gun safe. You might want to look at investing in something larger, such as the Eva-dry Edv-2200, also sold on Amazon. This is a Mid-Size Dehumidifier that might fit your needs.

I agree with the previous respondent. Can you open any windows in the sunroom? At least some of the hot air would escape that way.

I put it through the wall. My sleeve is too big for this AC, so there is plenty room for ventilation between the sleeve wall and the unit.

Assuming that is 25' x 25' x 10', I believe 1 unit would be challenged if you're in Northern Alberta - checking some weather info for Fort McMurray (a guess), I see 'average' lows of -10 F and minimum lows of -30 F over the last 20 years (and -58 F for the long-term). I set mine at 45 F for a 24' x 30' x10' (12' roof peak) metal building (not that well insulated) in Texas and with +8 F ambients, it was on 45 minutes/off 15. I did buy 2 but only put 1 in service, as that was acceptable to me. Also, there are recommended minimum clearances of 34" top and 68" below for these units; a 10' ceiling and a 12" unit height means you're almost at minimums (34" + 12" + 68" = 114" = 9'-6") to start. With the radiant heat flux off these units, the area directly below (or directly facing if you mount the unit at an angle, as I did) will get hot, so depending on what you're using the space for, there may be issues with localized 'hot spots'. Having a method to keep the air in the building/room well-distributed is also important (I used 2 ceiling fans) for several reason. The unit will consume O2 out of the air - about 1 cubic foot of O2 per minute. There is a recommended fresh air flow in of 160 CFM for this heater (high, IMO as a Chemical Engineer, but I'd want at least 50 CFM), so proper ventilation is also a concern if your room/building is 'tight'. You can better evaluate your specific application, but I believe one 40,000 BTU/Hr unit would be marginal in that size building (unless very well insulated) in the climate I think you're looking at.

Well what comes with the unit is a stander window adjustable to a window. You would have to build your own kit to fit a sliding Door. Now what I did was cut a 6" hole in my wall and used a dryer vent on the out side and concreted the vent from the unit. it work all year great. make sure you use a one way dryer vent that close when unit is on stand-by to keep the bugs and wind out.
