[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 15094538, member: 8854"] Still doesn't sound as good as yours :) lol Actually no upright is the worst position followed by upside down. On its side the way I have it is the most efficient. I called Joe directly at Killer Chiller to enquire on this and get the reasoning behind it? He said it's because the oil in the A/C system will pool up in the KC unit and reduce the surface area that's able to transfer heat. So in your setup pointing straight up oil is pooling in there and unable to get out. Same with upside down but the issue would be less pronounced. It would still collect across all the plates in there. On its side you have the best oil drainage and least amount of oil collection in the unit. I thought about that too but consider you also then block airflow to the AC condenser which is not good either. The local GT500 I mentioned ran his KC all summer with the heat exchanger inline (no valves or covering) and didn't see much of a problem or changes in temp. I'm sure it could have been a few degrees cooler but apparently not enough to be of concern. So for now I will run as is and see how it goes next summer :) [/QUOTE]
