Types of Commercial Air Conditioners

Commercial air conditioning systems are designed to keep your company cool throughout the day. This promotes an efficient and healthy work environment.

If you are searching for an expert to install commercial AC ensure they have the appropriate knowledge and experience as well as a license. This will ensure they are able to determine the correct tonnage for your space.

Packaged AC Units

There are a variety of HVAC systems to choose from, but a packaged AC system is the most well-known. These types of air conditioning units integrate cooling and heating in one unit which makes them an ideal option for commercial spaces that require to save space. Also known as roof top units, these kinds of systems are typically found in shopping malls.

In a typical packaged system, all components are contained within an outdoor cabinet that is connected to the building using sheet metal ductwork. During the cooling/heating process, the air is pushed through the ductwork through which it is able to pass through evaporator coils. The coolant inside of the evaporator coils sucks up the heat that is in the air and the blower motor in the air conditioner then moves the conditioned air into the building. The used coolant is then recirculated back through the evaporator coils and compressor to ensure it is reused.

Since the components of a packaged unit are stored outside, they can be smaller than a conventional split system and don’t require an indoor furnace. This type of system can be easier to maintain, as there are no vents in which insects or animals could nest. The components are also less prone to corrosion or weather damage.

Packaged units are cheaper to set up because they are one unit. They are also usually more energy-efficient, as they don’t have the same requirements as a traditional split system that requires heat and cool multiple rooms.

Another benefit of this system is that it is constructed in a factory environment, so the components aren’t exposed to extreme temperatures. This results in a higher performance of the unit and lower repair costs.

There are many kinds of package AC units which include gas/electric and all-electric models. Gas/electric units are an option for regions that are colder. All-electric models are ideal in warmer climates where heating is not needed. There are even combination units that can be used to both heat and cool the same structure, based on the model selected.

Ductless AC Units

Ductless AC units, also referred to as mini-split system provide a more comfortable cooling experience without the requirement for air ducts. The system consists of an indoor wall-mounted unit, an outdoor compressor, and refrigerant tubing that connect the two components. The compressor draws cool air from the room, through the outdoor unit and then pushes it back through air ducting inside the. The system can also be used for heating, using the same process in reverse to transfer heat from the outdoor unit and into your home.

Ductless air conditioning is often the ideal solution for older homes or areas that don’t have ductwork. They’re also frequently used to cool and heat sunrooms, garages, workshops, and other rooms that aren’t suited to conventional HVAC systems. The system can be easily installed by our skilled technicians. All they need to put the system in place is access to the wall on which your indoor unit will be mounted and a suitable spot to put the outside unit.

A ductless system is also able to provide zoned cooling comfort. This means you can keep your home at a comfortable temperature while allowing your guests to maintain their preferred setting. This kind of system is also more energy efficient because there is no loss of air through ducts. of air. Some brands offer discounts to customers who use their new systems.

Another option is to utilize a multi-zone ductless system that has one outdoor compressor connected to several indoor units. Each unit is located in the area that you wish to cool or warm, and each one comes with its own remote. This configuration allows you to have the ability to set the temperature for each area in your building, making it a popular option for commercial spaces that have multiple areas that have different cooling requirements.

The indoor units are equipped with air filters that remove pollutants and other allergens from the air, making your place more healthy for both customers and employees. This is particularly useful in restaurants and other eateries where the quality of the air is an important component of the customer’s overall experience.

Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems

VRF systems are a cost-effective solution for various commercial spaces. They offer precise temperature control for different areas of the building. This allows occupants to customize the comfort and efficiency of their workplace. They are also a sustainable solution as they efficiently distribute heat.

In VRF systems the outdoor unit has a compressor which circulates refrigerant through pipes to indoor units in different rooms or zones. The compressor adjusts its speed to accurately match the cooling and heating demands of each zone. This method prevents unnecessary cycling, which wastes energy. The evaporator coils of the indoor units could be used to provide heating, again with the system adjusting its operation according to.

VRF systems are ideal for commercial buildings with various needs. This includes offices, hospitals as well as schools and other commercial structures. The capability to simultaneously cool and heat individual spaces reduces energy consumption overall and maintenance costs. The quiet operation makes the system ideal for areas that are concerned about distractions.

Energy efficiency is a key benefit of VRF technology, and it can be seen in reduced utility bills that come with the installation of the system. In addition, the ability of the system to heat and cool multiple zones separately contributes to substantial energy savings compared to other HVAC technologies.

VRF systems can also be used to decrease the energy used for heating and cooling in existing ductwork that is typically not in good condition or isn’t able to handle the latest equipment. The system is more efficient than other heating and cooling systems due to its ability to quickly adapt to changing weather conditions. This flexibility makes it a top choice for office spaces, hotels, restaurants, and other commercial buildings that are frequently changing their usage and occupancy patterns. The system is also a great fit for large buildings that are under construction or renovation it’s simple to retrofit into existing ductwork and satisfy specific building requirements. If you’re interested to learn more about the ways that a commercial VRF system can improve your space, please contact Mission Mechanical. Mission Mechanical. We are happy to discuss this system with you, and assist you in deciding whether it is the right heating/cooling solution for your company.

Chillers

A chiller is an HVAC system that increases your commercial air conditioner’s capacity. It operates by cooling water and spreading it across your space, reducing the ambient temperature, and creating a relaxing atmosphere. This is a great solution for industrial and large-scale installations that need to cool more than just the air.

There are two main types of chillers: air cooled and water cooled. Both utilize absorption refrigeration or vapor compression to cool a liquid refrigerant that is then circulated through various temperatures. The chillers that are air-cooled use fans to blow air over the coils of the condenser or evaporator to eliminate heat. They are big in footprint and are usually located in an area for mechanical cooling on the roof or in basements. Water-cooled chillers come with a water box that is connected to an external cooling system like a tower. These chillers are usually smaller and have a smaller footprint than air cooled units.

Chillers are also equipped with boilers that can be used to heat your space in the winter. This is a smart way to save energy in a building that needs both heating and cooling, or for areas that have seasonal demand fluctuations. It is more efficient to draw heat from a heating system than to take it from the outside air.

Like a packaged unit Maintaining your chiller will improve its efficiency in operation and lower the cost of your utility bills. Cleaning the evaporator, condenser and compressor, along with making sure that the compressor is maintained and checked chiller are a few of the most important maintenance tasks. If you use an air-cooled chiller or water treatment system, your facility’s water treatment system must be in good condition to prevent corrosion and scaling.

The type of chiller you choose depends on the requirements of your building and your budget. A packaged unit could be the ideal choice for small businesses and homes, while industrial chillers or a VRF is more suitable for larger buildings with unique requirements. A professional from 1 Source Mechanical will help you determine the right solution for your building.
