Types of Air Conditioning

 

What types of Air Conditioning equipment to install?

Many people do not know what type of Air Conditioners they should choose at the time of purchase and if the
the type of heating that suits you best.
 
What we intend to do next is to help our clients to have a more precise knowledge on the subject, having
important aspects to consider, acquisition, installation and maintenance
the energy consumption.
 
 
 
One thing we all know: air conditioning is the only system that allows year-round comfort and even serves to dehumidify
or ventilate a room, as well as being the fastest and most efficient way to heat a space.
 
What criteria do we have to consider when choosing Air Conditioning Equipment?
  • The type of use (intensive or aid),
  • The volume to be cooled,
  • The number of people involved in space,
  • Exposure to the sun,
  • The budget...
Do not forget that the installation should only be done by certified companies.
 
Let us know the different types of Air Conditioning:
 

The market has several solutions / options and for those unfamiliar with the topic, the technical terms used are sometimes confusing.

PORTABLE

If you do not have pre-installation of air conditioning, you may consider portable equipment, but this one consumes a lot of energy. 

portatil_splitPORTABLE SPLIT

The split portable air conditioner has an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, interconnected by the tubing. It's too little
efficient because it requires having a window ajar or an opening for the passage of the pipe,
reducing the effect of air conditioning.

Reduced sound level.
It does not need to be installed by a professional. 

 

       PORTABLE MONOBLOCO

      The monoblock laptop consists of an indoor unit, very noisy and heavy. Efficiency is usually        portatil_monobloco
      low and often only refreshing. Those that heat up tend to be by electrical resistance.
      They require a heat exhaust pipe to the outside, and even accessory to cross the window, this is not effective and is lost part of the effect of the air conditioning.

      It has the advantage of being portable and being able to cool / warm several rooms at the same time.
      Efficiency limited to small size divisions.

 
 
 

MONO SPLIT or MULTI SPLIT

If you have pre-installation of air conditioning or are willing to do works for it, you have two options: the mono-split and the multi-split.

                                       MONO SPLIT

      mono_splitThe mono-split has a unit installed outside the dwelling, connected to
      an indoor unit that can be of various types: murals, cassettes, ducts and
      floor-ceiling. These units are fixed and must be installed by a professional.

      They allow very good yields and are silent.

      Excellent sound level since the compressor is located on the outside.

       
 
 
 MULTI SPLIT

   multi_split   It is the ideal system for those who want to air-conditioning more than one environment at the same time
      with the best cost / benefit ratio. Ideal for offices and homes, or other spaces
      with individual rooms.
      The multi-split has a unit installed outdoors and up to 5 indoor units

      (may vary with brand).
      It also has to be installed by a professional and is similar to air conditioning
      of mono split type.
      In most cases, you do not have to install all indoor units at once.
      Excellent sound level since the compressor is located on the outside.

     Depending on the model of the air conditioner, the temperature can be regulated
                                                                              independent in each division.

 

Portable, mono-split or muti-split, prefer models with inverter technology.

This technology can vary the speed of rotation of the compressor, adapting its power to the real needs.
That is, it prevents frequent stops and starts, consumes less energy and guarantees less temperature variations.
