Product lines
IGC boasts not only a variety of domestic air conditioners, but also commercial climate systems (semi-industrial and industrial). The choice of air conditioning depends on how many square meters the area of the room, for what purposes it is used, the number of mounting units (points), architectural features of the building.
Household split systems
The manufacturer produces household wall, cassette, channel, floor and ceiling split systems for small rooms up to 100 m2. It is recommended to install household split-systems in offices and residential premises. If one indoor unit is not enough, then you can resort to IGC multisplit systems, creating a kind of “hub”.
The “hub” principle is based on the possibility of mounting one universal external unit capable of servicing many indoor units. The calculation of the maximum allowable number of "nodes" occurs according to the "maximum allowable load (W)" on the external unit.
Semi-industrial air conditioners
For air conditioning of rooms up to 350 m2, it is recommended to use IGC semi-industrial air conditioners: column, cassette industrial, floor-ceiling, duct industrial. A distinctive feature of household products: increased power (consumption and return), size, weight and price.
VRF systems
The company produces VRF systems. Such multi-zone systems are widely used in creating their own microclimate in multi-storey buildings with a large number of rooms. In general, one external unit, when calculating: one room - one indoor unit - is able to serve 150-500 m2.
The IMS-EX450NB is IGC's most powerful VRF modular outdoor unit, with an efficiency of 50 kW, designed to connect 20 indoor units at the same time. To increase power, the manufacturer provided for the possibility of combining up to 4 IMS blocks into a “stack”, which in total will be able to issue about 180-200 kW.
Industrial air conditioners
Industrial climate systems are designed for loads of more than 200 kW. The minimum recommended area for the installation of industrial equipment is 400 m2.

Installation of an air conditioner, multi-unit design will require additional configuration and installation: communications, duct systems, air distribution devices, etc. The installation process depends on the type of equipment design, design, architectural features of the building, and other various factors, therefore, installation work is recommended only for specialists, during Avoidance of harm to equipment.
