HOW DOES AN A/C WORK ?
Air conditioning absorbs heat in one
place and gives it off in another place.
The principle of air conditioning always comes down to the
same:
absorb energy in one place and release it in another place
The process requires an indoor unit, an outdoor unit and
copper piping to connect both. Through the piping the
refrigerant flows from one unit to another. It is the
refrigerant that absorbs the energy in one unit and releases
it in the other.
1 Indoor unit
A fan blows the hot indoor air over a heat exchanging coil
through which cold refrigerant flows. The cold refrigerant
absorbs the heat from the air and cooled air is blown into
the room.
2 Copper piping
The refrigerant circulates through the units and the piping
and takes the heat from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit.
3 Outdoor unit
Through compression, the refrigerant gas is heated and its
boiling point increases. In the outdoor unit the obtained
heat through compression is released to the outdoor air by
means of a fan which blows the outdoor air over a heat
exchanging coil.
4 Refrigerant
The liquid refrigerant flows back to the indoor unit.
5 Indoor unit
Back in the indoor unit, the refrigerant is decompressed and
thus enabled to extract heat form the indoor air.
How to choose The right
equipment? .......
Creating the right climate is a complex matter. Several
factors determine which equipment is the best solution for
you. Be sure to be guided by an installer. Here are already
some things to keep in mind.
To what extent do you want to control the indoor climate?
Do you want cooling only? Or do you also want ventilation
and/or heating? The choice will determine the type of
system.
How many rooms?
The number of rooms will determine the system. In
case of more than one room it is possible to connect several
indoor units to one outdoor unit.
Which kind of room(s)?
A shop? An office? A bedroom or living room? Each
application requires its own system.
Capacity?
A system with too high capacity will lead to
draught, fluctuating temperatures and high energy bills.
With a too low capacity you will never reach the desired
temperature. Choosing the right capacity is mainly having an
installer calculate the capacity need. He will take into
account the influences on the capacity need like solar
infiltration, lighting, number of occupants, etc.
Place of the outdoor unit?
The outdoor unit should get an appropriate place,
on a solid base and accessible for maintenance.
Place of the indoor unit?
The choice of the model will be determined by the
possibilities to place the unit. Is there a false ceiling?
Is there free space on the wall? Etc. Also the location of
the unit is of great importance. Each unit has its own air
distribution pattern. A wrong location may lead to draught
and sound.
Weather durability?
Mind the weather durability of the outdoor unit.
This will determine the lifetime of the installation.
Air purification?
The dust particles floating in the air can be
removed by means of filters in the indoor units. Depending
on the level of filtration we offer different filters.
Selection of the installer?
The most important is to be advised by a good installer. He
will calculate, draw up and install the required system
according to your needs. His skilled advice and
craftsmanship will ensure you of a good climate.

Know more about your A/C.
Air conditioning is the process of treating the temperature,
humidity, cleanness and distribution of the air.
Cooling
Our air conditioners offer precise temperature
control. You can always create the climate in which you feel
best, with the right temperature. Not only does it create
comfort, it makes you feel fresh and active even in the most
extreme outside conditions.
Heating
Air conditioners can also offer heating. You can
enjoy the perfect constant temperature all year through, no
matter what are the outside conditions. It is an
environmentally friendly alternative to traditional heating
because it takes energy from the outside air and brings it
inside. Hence the name Heat Pump.
Cleaning
Our air conditioners produce clean, healthy air.
All indoor units are equipped with filters that take dust,
pollen, smoke, ... from the air. According to the needs of
the customer the level of filtration can be increased.
Filtration is critical for persons with allergies.
Dehumidifying
In cooling mode an air conditioner dehumidifies the air,
creating a better feeling of wellbeing. Bear also in mind
that a correct humidity level limits the growth of dust
mites and molds, which again has a positive effect on
persons with allergies. Human beings feel that 40 to 60 % is
a comfort level of humidity. Also a correct humidity level
ensures a longer lifetime of your appliances and house.
Why air conditioning, what are
its effects on one’s health ?.....
With air conditioning you can create the comfort in which
you feel best, with the right temperature and a comfortable
humidity. Modern air conditioners produce clean, healthy
fresh air, dehumidify the air and prevent moisture All of
this is able with neither draught nor noise.
In short,air conditioning makes you feel better, more active
and fit, resulting in many advantages, because he or she who
feels better is more creative and productive. And who
doesn't like to be in a shop, café, restaurant or hotel with
air conditioning, certainly in the summer?
There is a close correlation between an operative's personal
performance and the temperature of his immediate
surroundings. An environment that is too hot, too cold or
too damp will certainly not contribute to higher working
efficiency.
