The competent choice of a household air conditioner for an apartment or a store is based on the area, number of premises, attendance, window size and heating system.
Choosing a household air conditioner in a store
Household air conditioners in stores should have more power than for a similar area of a living space. There is an increased influx of heat from the street, from display windows, refrigeration and freezing equipment. But the noise from the air conditioner in a public place is practically not noticeable.
For stores, household air conditioners of the following types are chosen:
- channel;
- cassette
- wall mounted.
If the walls of the store are made of glass, ceiling models are better.
A wall-mounted household air conditioner can handle the cooling of a small store. An economical and quietly working split system is the optimal choice of a domestic air conditioner, both for a boutique and for a store up to 50 square meters in area.
Duct systems are powerful enough to cool a medium-sized store. But they require the installation of ducts. Hiding communications under false ceilings. One system can serve several rooms. In addition to cooling and heating, household air conditioning in the store mixes fresh filtered air from the street and delivers it into the room.
The main disadvantage is the price of the installation itself and the air ducts.
Cassette air conditioners are also installed behind suspended ceilings. This is an analogue of a wall split system, the internal unit of which is installed above the ceiling. Air flows are distributed horizontally in four directions.
