Fan
coil is an indoor block. It looks very much like an
internal block of a split-system and is similar to
it in construction. They can be wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted,
stand on floor, be fixed above suspended ceiling. The
difference is that they use water (or sometimes ethylene
glycol solution) as coolant or heating medium from
a chiller, local boiler room or from other piece of
equipment. You will have the opportunity of meeting
leading manufacturers and suppliers of fan coils.
Central air-conditioning plants
Central
air-conditioning plants are used for air conditioning
of entire buildings. Since central air conditioner
is of a modular type its functions can be of immense
variety and depend on the set of modules. A part of
them treat air independently and a part depends on
the rest components of the air conditioning system.
The composition of the system is chosen to meet needs
of every separate project.
Chillers
Chiller
is a cooling machine used for cooling water. It is
the main source of cold in a complex climatic system,
its heart. It is often (almost always) the most powerful
(and the most expensive) component of an air conditioning,
ventilation or an air heating system.
Precision air conditioners
Those
are air conditioners capable of maintaining temperature
and humidity levels with high precision. They are monoblock
units with water cooling or a remote condenser. They
are recommended for use whenever high-precision control
of air parameters is a must: operating theaters, laboratories,
museums, special repositories and so on. They are often
used in computer rooms, at telephone exchanges and
other places full of expensive electronics equipment.
Forced draft plants
A
forced draft plant is a powerful unit for fresh air
supply from outdoors to indoors through ventilation
ducts. It is a modular unit consisting of several sections.
The most important sections are those of ventilation,
preheating and filtration. There isn't much difference
between forced draft plants and central air-conditioning
plants because their functions are similar and they
often consist of the same modules. The main difference
is in the task set.
Condenser-compressor units
They
are used for the conditioning of liquid refrigerant
supplied to heat exchanger of indoor block or of central
air conditioner. They resemble outdoor blocks of split
systems by their construction and appearance. The main
reasons for their popularity on the market are their
relative cheapness (compared to minichillers), wide
range of models on the market and relatively simple
site assembly and running.
