How And Why Of Ductless Air Conditioners And Where To Use Them
From 200 BTU residential units to the much larger 7500 to 14,000 BTU size, ductless air conditioners are becoming quite popular these days. There are normal window air conditioners that fit into a sash window and individual units that stand on the floor. These are used in rooms and vented through a wall or window using appropriate vent kits.
There are also models that you can attach to the wall, much the same way you would a flat screen television. These are also vented to the outside through the wall. Hotels usually use free standing units. There is no venting needed for these kids of air conditioners. Being that there is no need for them to be placed in an open window, this eliminates some of the security risks associated with traditional air conditioning units.
The “oasis theory” of cooling is explained as the cooling of a single room in a house or apartment as opposed to cooling the entire abode. This saves money and keeps one room comfortable, especially useful in homes without ducting for air conditioning.
As opposed to residential units, commercial units need to be very much larger since warehouses, stores and offices are bigger than homes. Used successfully in commercial kitchens such as is found in restaurants, the portable conditioners enable these kitchens to be cooled by being placed in an area out of the way and vented through the ceiling. It is thus much cooler for the workers and does not require extra power and expense.
Another place these units are used commercially is in server rooms, to keep the equipment cool and at their optimal comfort zone. They are vented through ceilings or windows, eliminating duct work installation as well. A happy consumer wants his internet access available at all times and not crashing due to excessive heat in the server room.
Another use for the ductless cooling units is in recreational vehicles. No need to use the main power from your vehicle’s power plant to cool the entire interior when perhaps lowering the ambient temperature by 12 degrees in just a smaller area, such as the bedroom area, would be sufficient. This would be the same for vacation mobile homes being pulled behind your truck or car.
If your cabin in the woods or by the sea requires cooling, there is no need for the expense of fully ducted central air when the ductless type conditioner is available and so efficient at providing the temperature you desire. Some models even provide heat and Ionic air purifying features. There is one less issue to deal with, concerning heating of the cabin on a chilly evening. There is less expense to install and operate. For those with a unique type of canvas cabin, like a tent but on a wooden platform, adding a small unit would keep you comfortable even in this primitive setting, as long as there was a power source.
If you’re doing some remodeling and you want to save money in the long run, ductless air conditioners might be able to help you do just that. There is no ducting required, and no heat pump is needed either. Many people find it much easier to go with these units, than to have to deal with any other kind of air conditioning systems available.
