How Air Conditioning Units Work PDF Print E-mail

Air Conditioning systems are installed usually due to a requirement to create comfortable living or working conditions. The Air Conditioning industry has never been large in the UK in comparison with warmer countries elsewhere in the world. The onset of global warming however seems likely to completely transform the market for air conditioning in the UK.

Air Conditioning systems are installed usually due to a requirement to create comfortable living or working conditions. The Air Conditioning industry has never been large in the UK in comparison with warmer countries elsewhere in the world. The onset of global warming however seems likely to completely transform the market for air conditioning in the UK.

A 240 volt electric supply is needed to power the fan units in each room and an external compressor. Mounted wall units will be discreetly fitted in each room. These will be connected with a series of thin copper pipes to a small external compressor unit to allow the flow and return of refrigerant gas.

Technological advances allow long refrigerant pipe runs of up to 170m and the small diameter pipes which are now used result in less volume of refrigerant gas.

Efficiency is further improved by VRF (variable refrigerant flow) techniques. The gases used within air conditioning systems are some of the most harmful to the environment hence the opportunity to reduce the volume of those gases is to be welcomed.

Whilst most people holidaying on the continent have heard air conditioning units constantly battering noisily away this is no longer the case with modern units. Current units are so quiet that in a residential neighbourhood it is unlikely that noise would be an issue whatsoever, providing the unit manufacturer and siting were given careful consideration. As summer temperatures continue to increase during the next decade it seems likely that many households will seek to install some form of air conditioning. There is good logic in equipping perhaps a main living room or master bedroom in the first instance.

Domestic air conditioning is really worth the investment. As summer temperatures increase over the next 10 years it is expected that most British households will install some form of air conditioning. It's also a great energy efficient alternative to central heating as warm air can be blown out instead. This is done by simply running your system in reverse. It is also less expensive to install - coming in at around 2000 to both purchase and install a domestic air conditioning system.
