What is air conditioning?

Air conditioning is based on the precise control of temperature, humidity, air flow and air cleanliness.Split system air conditioners regulate these elements around the clock to provide you with a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. Day and night, year after year. Cooling Mode: Excess room heat is absorbed by a special liquid - a refrigerant - sealed within the system. As the refrigerant in the indoor unit absorbs the room heat, it changes into a gas and is carried through small, copper tubes to an outdoor unit which releases heat into the atmosphere.The gas is converted into a liquid again and flows back to the indoor unit where air is fanned over it and out into the room. This cycle is repeated until the pre-set temperature is reached

What about a "Heat Pump"?

Heating Mode: Heat pump units also allow the cooling cycle to be reversed.A heat pump extracts "free" heat from the outdoor air, even on the coldest dayswhen the outside temperature may fall as low as -10°C, and transfers the heat indoors.Heat pump units therefore avoid the need for a boiler and allow you to cool and heat with the same unit,with savings in costs and energy throughout the year. A simple principle developed to perfectionAir conditioning works like your refrigerator which removes heat continuously from the cabinet and discharges it into the kitchen. You can feel this "free" heat by touching the coil on the back of your refrigerator.In summer, the heat pump extracts heat from the warm air in your home and pumps it outside. Your home stays comfortable & cool.In winter its the reverse. Natural heat in the outdoor air - even when its freezing - is extracted and moved indoors. Wonderful warmth when you need it. Comfort that costs less Three kilowatts of heat for each kilowatt of electricity used... Heat pumps are up to three times more economical than conventional gas fired or electric central-heating systems.Even in bitter cold snaps you will save money.Installation costs are lower too. With just one system, for cooling in summer and heating in winter, you save on equipment outlay.

Why Air Conditioning

Recent research shows that temperature and air quality plays a key part in how we behave, from how much time and money we spend in a shop to how well we work in an office. A fluctuation of even 1 degree either way outside the optimum indoor temperature margin could cost money in lost profits, something businesses know they just can't afford.
