Strong wind can significantly alter the airflow around the outdoor unit and affect performance.
Headwind
It can create unwanted pressure on the fan outlet and reduce the actual airflow.
Air recirculation
If the unit is in an enclosed area, the exhaust air can return to the intake and overload the system.
Relationship with icing
Incorrect airflow can cause colder zones on the heat exchanger and uneven icing.
Wind protection
Where necessary, appropriate protection should be used according to the manual without obstructing free airflow.
