Air Conditioning

What are the main types of air conditioning system?

Whatever your requirements and budget,
Cool-Therm has an air conditioning solution to suit.

Air conditioning comes in several different forms and styles – depending on the size required and where it is to be installed.

We can help you choose the system that matches your application and budget, from the smallest home system right up to industrial-size chillers.

The main types of air conditioning:

split air conditioning unitSmall split system

This is a basic entry level system suitable for homes or small commercial premises such as dentists, opticians, florists or small shops where a single room is to be air conditioned.

It consists of an indoor unit which does the cooling and heating and is connected to a discrete outdoor unit which either rejects unwanted heat or in the case of a heat pump collects heat from the outdoor air even if the temperature is 0 deg C.

There are several types of indoor unit to choose from. For example, there are floor standing models, or wall-mounted units that occupy no floor space, and even discrete units that can be concealed behind ceiling panels.

The best choice for an application depends on a number of factors - such as where it is to be fitted, the available space, and the style and lay-out of the room.

We can help you choose the best solution for your needs.

Medium size split ac systemMedium size split system

This is a step up from the single split, and may have two or more indoor units connected to the outdoor unit.

It is more flexible and suitable for larger home installations, where more than one room is to be air conditioned (perhaps a bedroom, dining room and home cinema, for example), and for commercial premises such as restaurants, doctors’ surgeries and medium-size shops and offices.

To cater for the requirements of different rooms, you can select the most appropriate style of indoor unit – and mix the styles in the same building.

Domestic heating and coolingMulti-split systems

These systems are ideal for larger premises, such as medium-size office suites or prestige apartments, where perhaps a dozen or more indoor units serve separate living or working spaces.

They are connected to a bank of outdoor units, located either on the roof or in a central plant room serving the building.

Again, different styles and sizes of indoor units can be chosen to match the requirements of each air conditioned space – to fit in with room layout and décor.
