I have a client with a horizontal flow air-handler that has his A-frame evaporator with the air flow coming from the head of the A. The A-frame evaporator has been installed on its side (imagine the letter A turned exactly 90 degrees) instead of on its back (imagine the letter A lying on its back). I have never seen an evaporator installed this way and suspect that it is wrong. Can anyone give me any information please?

Sounds strange. Where does the water condensate go?

To the pan below the coil, what else?

No only the foot of the A is. I did say “the letter A turned exactly 90 degrees” NOT 135 degrees.

The A coils I've seen, that would put the condensate tray on the side.

If you want help, you're going to have to talk nicer to these people.
Two of your four posts so far have a measure of sarcasm. Above, it's
not necessary to prove you said it right the first time, nor to go
into numeric detail when you try to do so.

Does the AC function as expected? Or do you think there is a problem
related to the air coming to the A from the top versus the bottom.
I'll admit that that is not the same as bloging in one end of a straw
versus blowing in the other end, but in general I don't see why it
should matter.

Even if someone with experience here said, " I think it's better if
the air comes in through the bottom of the A", I don't think that's
enough to warrant charging a customer to turn the evaporator around,
even if it were easy, and even you think it will be hard.

Look at their webpages, and if that doesn't answer your questoin, call
the manufacturer of the A-frame and ask a tech if it matters which way
t he air goes.

Is the AC newsgroup still around?

Most A coils I've worked with, the condensate pan is on the open end of the
A. So, if the coils is like a orientation, the pan is on the side.
