Working in the Caribbean - Cooling Equipment and Loads

[doopedeng]

Hi All,
I'm designing systems for a hotel/resort project in the Caribbean and would like a bit of help finding available equipment with 220V/50Hz. Does anyone have a contact(s) for manufacturer's rep down there (preferably global manufacturer like Mitsubishi, LG, Daikin, Carrier)?

Also, if anyone has ever sized a cooling system there, what would normally be used for air infiltration rates for typical construction there? I presume construction would be leakier than in N. America??

Thanks in advance.

You can find manufacturer's reps for specific places on the manufacturer'r website.

Most manufacturers offer N. America and S. America options for contacts, however, the Caribbean is uniquely between the two. Most mfr's do not seem to clearly indicate where someone in the Caribbean should go to find information. There are a few local manufacturers, but I prefer to stick with global manufacturers. Hoping someone on this forum might have a good contact (like a local rep) with experience in the area who I can ask questions and deal with directly, not just the toll free number.

Thanks!

Contact manufacturer... they will point you in right direction. If manufacturer doesn't respond - that tells you a lot.

Look up local reps and warehouses what they carry, they will be able to tell you who can advise on the equipment they sell.
