What to base your purchase of a ceiling air conditioner on

A ceiling air conditioner has a number of advantages over wall split systems. Therefore, many consumers pay attention to this unusual type of climate technology. You can buy a ceiling air conditioner at any major specialty store. But how do you choose the right model?

Features of ceiling air conditioners

If the apartment does not have false ceilings, then it makes sense to buy a floor-ceiling air conditioner.

Based on the name, it is clear that it can be mounted on the ceiling or on the floor (on the wall near the baseboard). Choosing the first installation option, the owners forget about drafts and unpleasant cold "wind" from the air ducts forever. The air flow runs parallel to the ceiling, gradually decreasing and performing a natural convection cycle. This is a very comfortable type of room cooling. It is also optimal for rooms with complex configurations: cool jets will reach even the most distant corners of the room.

Installed on the floor, the air conditioner is completely invisible, it will blow the air up, parallel to the wall. As a rule, the equipment is mounted near the outer wall to reduce the length of the cold line. Thus, owners of a unique design of the ceiling and walls, who do not want to spoil them with holes, can also buy a ceiling air conditioner.

Ceiling air conditioners are most often purchased for large areas (140 - 180 square meters). Although there are models for 35 sq. meters, but this is rather an exception. Therefore, due to the power and the price of ceiling air conditioners, they are higher than conventional split systems.

Model power

The calculation of the performance of the air conditioner is carried out according to the formula:

Q = Q1 + Q2 + Q3,

hereQ1 - the volume of the room in cubic meters,Q2 - inflow of heat from persons in the room,Q3 - heat inflow from devices and equipment.

Subtleties of choice

Ceiling air conditioners are produced by both economy-class brands and the best manufacturers.

So, if you want to buy a Daikin floor-to-ceiling air conditioner, you should get an amount of 160 thousand rubles. The minimum power of Daikin ceiling lamps is 7 kilowatts. And if you want to buy an inverter system, the price of ceiling air conditioners rises to 240 thousand. This is a powerful 12-kW unit that operates down to -20 degrees outdoors and can handle any known operating mode.

Despite the high price, in some cases a floor-to-ceiling air conditioner is the only way out. For example, if the room has glass walls.
