Room Air Conditioners That Can Cool, Heat and Dehumidify

Room air conditioners are sold as both ‘unitary’ and ‘packaged terminal’ (PTAC) systems.

The most common single room air conditioner are the unitary systems. These systems are placed within a window or opening in a wall with the controls on the interior.

The air is cooled as a fan filters it through the evaporator, whilst on the exterior, the air is heated as a separate fan filters the air over the condenser. Ultimately, the heat is drawn from the room and expelled outside.

The PTAC systems are also known as wall split air conditioning systems or the more commonly used PTAC systems in hotels, they are made up of two separate units.

First, there is the evaporative unit on the interior and the condensing unit on the exterior. By way of tubing, which passes through the wall and connects them, each separately air conditioned room can be controlled independently.

Case Study: LG S09AW.NE0 Room Air Conditioner

This wall-mounted inverter air conditioner not only heats and cools a room whilst offering great energy efficiency, but with the wall-mounted splits being known for mimicking natural airflow patterns, you also experience a more natural feeling breeze.

DC Inverter

By automatically adjusting the unit to low power, this innovative, energy-efficient feature maintains room temperature rather than require the compressor to repeatedly start and stop – thus otherwise wasting energy.

Gold Fin™ Anti-Corrosion

As standard on all LG units, their patented Gold Fin™ process is an anti-corrosion coating that forms a protective shield so the unit lasts longer making it more cost-effective for you.

Jet Cool™

Within thirty-minutes, the Jet Cool&™ technology can cool a room to 18°C.

Neo-Plasma Air Purifying System

For those with allergies themselves, or children with sensitivities, the NEO-plasma air purifying system removes microscopic contaminants and dust, as well as dust mites, pollen, and pet fur all of which help prevent allergies.

Night Silent Operation

Pre-set the time and length of this mode and it will switch on at the day’s peak temperature and then return to normal operation. With each mode, you have the option of three sound levels.

Healthy Dehumidification

The room air conditioners’ dehumidification mode can accurately sense the room’s temperature and controls humidity by increasing the vane angle, which also prevents overcooling.
