Venterra is a well-known manufacturer of HVAC equipment, a brand of the Systemair group of companies, based in Switzerland and which has become a leader in sales of high-quality equipment of various types. The Systemair group of companies is developing successfully. For the first time, the world heard about the existence of this brand back in 1974. In more than 40 years since the opening of the first office, many enterprises and branches have been created, located in 44 countries of the world. Today there are about 15 branches in Russia.

Venterra air conditioners and split systems first appeared on the Russian market in 2006. Today, the consumer is pleased with a large assortment of air conditioning equipment lines, stylish design and attractive appearance of devices, functionality. Air conditioners of various price categories are on sale: from expensive to budget models.

Main lines of air conditioners

Venterra climate technology combines stylish design and functionality. The lines of equipment are designed taking into account the peculiarities of the weather conditions in the middle lane. The technique differs in power, performance, dimensions, set of available functions and type.

Household and semi-industrial series

Household and semi-industrial air conditioners are suitable for installation in an office or apartment. Powerful models with high performance can be used to heat or cool large premises, including sales areas of shops and supermarkets, banquet halls, cafes or restaurants. Split systems, remotely controlled with wall or ceiling mounting type, usually perform the following functions:

• heating;
• cooling;
• removal of excess moisture from the air;
• air humidification;
• turbo mode;
• ventilation of air (without cooling or heating).

Split systems can work in automatic mode - they are activated automatically when the temperature in the room reaches certain indicators. Also, most models support the timer function. With a certain parameter setting, the air conditioners operate in a “quiet” mode (“night mode”) at night. The air conditioner itself consists of two blocks:

• internal - having an aesthetically pleasing appearance, attractive design and installed inside the premises;
• outdoor - located outside the premises and including an inverter, an electrical control unit, a fan and other elements.

Duct type air conditioners

Channel type are devices that can be used to maintain a comfortable microclimate in several rooms at once. Operation in recirculation mode or course type. Installation of the air conditioner requires preliminary installation of suspended or suspended ceilings, since the functional elements are built into the ceiling. In this case, it is often necessary to dismantle the old coating.

The device of a duct air conditioner is simpler than a highly functional split system. The indoor unit is located out of sight, so no high requirements are imposed on its design. Air is taken in the room through the intake grilles, then it enters the indoor unit.Here the air flow is cooled and fed back into the room through special channels, already coming through the distribution grilles. The scheme of operation of a duct air conditioner does not differ much from the functioning of a split system.

There are also two blocks here:

• external - compressor-condenser - installed outside the room;
• internal - evaporative.

The main function of the Venter duct air conditioner is cooling. However, some models are equipped with an additional module capable of providing heating. Also, this type of climate technology is able to carry out ventilation in rooms, taking air from the street, if the function is supported by the selected model. If the characteristics of the model do not provide for the function of supplying fresh air from the street with its preliminary heating, then heating elements (electric or water heater) that are not included in the basic set are additionally connected to the duct air conditioner. The wiring diagram is indicated in the manual.

The duct air conditioner is suitable for installation in premises with a large area - sales areas, industrial premises, halls of restaurants and cafes, clinics, educational institutions with several auditoriums. Operation is relevant 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 flows.

Cassette air conditioners

A cassette air conditioner, like a duct air conditioner, is mounted in a stretch ceiling. These are models that are only suitable 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 level of the ceiling will have to be slightly reduced.

Most often, a cassette air conditioner controlled by a remote control is installed in clinics, offices and business centers, catering establishments. It is very simple to use this type of climatic technology - the control method is remote - console. There are also two blocks here - indoor and outdoor. Built-in inverter, universal control board. The compact cassette can be built into any cell of the ceiling, thanks to its standard dimensions, which usually do not exceed 600x600 mm.

Mobile devices

Mobile devices - portable floor air conditioners. Maximum convenience and ease of management. All you need to do is buy the required model of equipment and plug it in to start air conditioning. These are block devices, consisting of a main component - a block and a hot air outlet element. The hose can be led out the window. These air conditioners often have a condensate drain pan. A portable mobile air conditioner has one important advantage - you can take it with you when you move, for example, when you are going to live outside the city for several days or weeks.

Also, the unit can be easily transferred from one room to another. This only applies to compact small-sized models. The device operates on the mains, can be controlled remotely or manually - the buttons for switching on and setting parameters are located on the surface of the unit body. The functionality of most models is limited to cooling, fan and in some cases heating. The only drawback is that the switched on air conditioner makes noise, because there is no way to bring the unit out of the room.
