Ceiling conceal ducted type air conditioner

Types of ceiling concealed ducted type air conditioners

The concealed ducted air conditioner refers to an air conditioning system that is fully concealed. Because of this, it is easy to see that they have been designed to develop a flexible yet compact option to provide comfort to residential and commercial facilities while fully meeting aesthetic qualities. There are two main types of fully concealed ducted air conditioners: the split and the boxed kit.

• The split system is mainly made up of two parts, the evaporator unit indoors, which is usually installed on the ceiling, and the condenser unit outdoors, which is located externally. A typical feature of split systems is that they are connected via refrigerant piping and electrical wiring, with indoor units being distributive to ensure air is circulated throughout a space. There are different variants of suitable options for users to consider. For example, there are inverter split ducted air conditioners. An inverter ducted air conditioner works in a similar way to a ducted adjustably zoning air conditioner. However, the compressor of the inverter model varies its speed according to the temperature required in the living space, meaning the compressor will always change its activity to keep the temperature exactly right. Therefore, unlike non-inverter models, which switch on and off to cool the room, an inverter model will continuously run and fine-tune its performance, making it more energy efficient.
• Boxed kits, on the other hand, have a more simplistic structure and are self-contained. A dominant characteristic is that the condenser and evaporator are combined into one single unit. This unit is usually installed on the roof of a building or property. Once again, there are multiple features to consider when purchasing a boxed duct air conditioner. For example, a WiFi boxed duct air conditioner allows users to access the air conditioning system wherever and whenever they want through intelligent technology. A duct air conditioner with a duct sensor, on the other hand, is able to detect and monitor the air flowing through the duct system. What it typically does is measure the temperature of the air in the duct. The duct sensor then sends the information to the air conditioning system, which makes adjustments to the air temperature to ensure that the room is maintained at a precise temperature. Other features include zoning systems that use multiple ducted air conditioning zones within a property to create independent temperature control in different rooms and areas, as well as a central home theater system that channels the conditioned air directly to a central home theater.

The maintenance of the concealed duct air conditioning system includes cleaning, tightening, lubricating, and inspecting the parts. A well-maintained duct air conditioner will improve indoor air quality and health and save energy.

• Regular Cleaning of Ceiling Ducted Air Con

  Clean the filters weekly to remove dust and debris. Wash the filters with soap and water and let them dry fully before putting them back into the unit. Wipe down the indoor unit and remote control with a damp cloth. Ensure that the outdoor unit is free of debris, and foliage at least 30cm away from the unit in all directions.

• Inspection

  Every 3-4 months, inspect the performance of the air conditioner. Check if the fittings are leaking, the function of the thermostat, the blades, the fan's operation, and the noise level. Contact a professional technician for a detailed inspection if any issues arise.

• Troubleshooting

  Ceiling-concealed duct air conditioners have fewer visible parts. Some models have a self-diagnosis function that shows errors on the remote control. Refer to the air conditioner's manual and the list of trouble codes. If unsure, contact a professional technician for assistance.

By following the maintenance tips above, concealed duct air conditioners will work for many years. Clean the filters, belts, and fans to ensure optimum operation and energy efficiency, which will save money in the long run.

Scenarios of a ceiling concealed ducted type air conditioner

• New residential place

  A ceiling concealed ducted air conditioner is great for cooling a new place where other forms of air conditioning won't work due to design choices. For example, in a pretty home where owners want to keep inside looks neat, this air conditioner is nice because the indoor part fits up in the ceiling. This model takes up less space than big wall units or bulkier roof units. The unit also cools down whole areas instead of just a few rooms. Thus, it works well in fresh places with many rooms to chill.

• Renovated housing

  This air conditioner helps a lot when homeowners are fixing up their houses and want to add AC. It fits easily into the ceiling voids that are already in the house, which is the space between the roof and ceilings. This would be hard to do with systems that need big indoor units to take up space in rooms. Because this system does not have big indoor units taking up space in rooms, it preserves the aesthetics of the newly renovated home.

• Store

  The ceiling concealed ducted AC cools lots of other places, like clothing shops. Since all parts fit up high in the ceiling, there are no big indoor units blocking views. Stores want to display items very well so that customers can see everything clearly. Because this air conditioner is hidden, it evenly spreads air through ducts. This allows stores to have a clean, uncluttered look while also making sure every part is a nice temperature for people to shop comfortably.

• Office

  Since big workspaces can have a lot of people, there needs to be enough cooling for everyone. A ceiling concealed ducted air conditioner provides a central system that can cool large areas. The indoor units are out of sight in the ceilings, so people only see nice, open spaces. The system cools areas evenly through vents in the ducts, which is good for multi-work areas. Ducted systems offer good cooling when many people gather in one place to work every day.

How to choose a ceiling concealed ducted type air conditioner

• Room size and cooling capacity

  It is necessary to evaluate the size of the room that needs cooling and heating, which is especially important for commercial ceiling air conditioners. The precise calculation of BTU/BRC/tonnage air conditioner is important for selecting an appropriate unit. Make sure to choose an air conditioner with a cooling capacity that matches the room size.

• Energy efficiency

  Select an air conditioner with a higher energy efficiency rating, which can help control operating costs and environmentally friendly choices.

• Installation requirements

  Ensure that the air conditioner chosen fits the installation requirements. Check factors such as the ceiling height, duct size, and accessibility of the installation location. It is because detailed planning and appropriate tools are required for the installation process to be smooth.

• Noise level

  Consider the air conditioner's noise level to ensure that the operation is at a quiet environment. Select models with low noise levels, particularly those that include silent compressor operation and noise-reducing technologies.

• Smart Features

  Consider an air conditioner that has smart capabilities, such as app remote control or voice control. Business owners or house owners can have the option to check and regulate the air conditioner from a distant, making it easier to use.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between ducted and ductless air conditioning?

A1: A ducted ceiling conceal air conditioning system uses a central unit and ducts to distribute air throughout the entire building. Ducted systems are typically more suitable for larger areas. A ductless system, on the other hand, utilizes individual indoor units, commonly known as split systems. Ductless air conditioning systems work better for smaller spaces that don't have existing ducting.

Q2: What is the cooling capacity of ducted air conditioning?

A2: The ceiling concealed ducted air conditioner system's cooling power is measured in kilowatts (kW). 1 kW is equal to the energy required to cool a space of about 10 to 15 square meters. Ducted systems can be as low as 5kW up to about 30kW or more. Ducted systems have a central unit that can be installed with different size compressors. More rooms would need longer duct runs and higher static pressure.

Q3: How long do ceiling ducted air conditioners last?

A3: A well-maintained ceiling ducted air conditioner can last between 12 and 15 years. It can be more or less depending on the usage and frequency of schedule maintenance like duct cleaning, inspection, and checking if there are still air conditioning parts in good condition.
