Venterra air conditioners and split systems first appeared on the Russian market in 2006. Today, the consumer is pleased with a wide range of climatic equipment lines, stylish design and attractive appearance of devices, functionality. Air conditioners of various price categories are on sale: from expensive to budget models.
The main line of air conditioners
Climatic equipment Venterra combines stylish design and functionality. The equipment lines are designed taking into account the weather conditions of the middle lane. The equipment varies in power, performance, size, set of available functions and appearance.
Household and semi-industrial series
Domestic and semi-industrial air conditioners are suitable for installation in an office or apartment. Powerful high-performance models can very well be used for heating or cooling large-scale rooms, including retail halls of shops and supermarkets, banquet halls, cafes or restaurants. Split systems controlled remotely with a wall or ceiling mount type typically perform the following functions:
- heating;
- cooling;
- removal of excess moisture from the air;
- humidification of air;
- turbo mode;
- air ventilation (without cooling or heating).
Split systems can work in automatic mode - they are activated automatically, upon reaching a certain temperature in the room. Also, most models support the timer function. With a certain setting of parameters at night, the air conditioners operate in "silent" mode ("night mode"). The air conditioner itself consists of two blocks:
- internal - having an aesthetically pleasing appearance, attractive design and installed indoors;
- outdoor - located outside the premises and includes an inverter, an electric control unit, a fan and other elements.
Duct type air conditioners
Channel type - these are devices that can be used to maintain a comfortable microclimate in several rooms at once. Work in recirculation mode or course type. Installation of an air conditioner requires the preliminary installation of suspended or suspended ceilings, since it is functional elements that are built into the ceiling. In this case, it is often necessary to dismantle the old coating.
The installation of a channel air conditioner is simpler than a highly functional split system. The indoor unit is located out of sight, therefore, its design does not have high requirements. Through the intake grilles, air is taken in the room, then it enters the indoor unit. Here, the air flow is cooled and fed back into the room through special channels, entering already through the distribution grilles. The scheme of operation of a channel air conditioner is not much different from the functioning of a split system.
There are also two blocks here:
- external - compressor and condenser - installed outside the premises;
- internal - evaporative.
The main function of the ducted air conditioner of Venter is cooling. However, some models are equipped with an additional module that can provide heating. Also, climatic equipment of this type is able to carry out ventilation in the premises, taking air from the street, if the function is supported by the selected model. If the model’s characteristic does not provide for the function of supplying fresh air from the street with its preliminary heating, then heating elements (an electric or water heater) that are not included in the basic set are additionally connected to the channel air conditioner. The wiring diagram is indicated in the manual.
Duct air conditioning is suitable for installation in rooms with a large area - trading floors, industrial premises, halls of restaurants and cafes, clinics, educational institutions with several audiences. Actual operation when it is necessary to place several distribution grids in different zones of the same room or in different rooms. Another advantage is the ability to control air flow.
Cassette Air Conditioners
Cassette air conditioning, as well as duct, is mounted in a suspended ceiling. These are models that are suitable only for apartments or commercial premises with high ceilings and large cubic capacity. Otherwise, their installation can contribute to the formation of an even greater deficit of free space in the room - the ceiling level will have to be slightly reduced.
Most often, cassette air conditioning controlled by the remote control is installed in clinics, offices and business centers, and catering establishments. Using this type of climate technology is very simple - the remote control method is remote control. There are also two blocks here - indoor and outdoor. Built-in inverter, universal control board. A compact cassette can be built into any cell of the ceiling, thanks to standard dimensions, often not exceeding 600x600 mm.
Mobile devices
Mobile devices - floor portable air conditioners. Maximum usability and ease of management. It is enough to buy the right model of equipment and plug it into a power outlet to start air conditioning. These are block devices consisting of the main component - a block and an element for the output of hot air. The hose may be displayed on the window. Often, such air conditioners have a condensate drain pan. A portable mobile air conditioner has one important advantage - you can take it with you when moving, for example, when you are going to leave the city for several days or weeks.
Also, the unit can be easily transferred from one room to another. This applies only to compact small-sized models. The device works from the network, can be controlled remotely or manually - power buttons and parameter settings are on the surface of the unit. The functionality of most models is limited by cooling, a fan and, in some cases, heating. The only drawback is that the included air conditioner makes a noise, because there is no way to take the unit out of the room.
