Today’s building owners and engineers are concerned with issues such as indoor air quality (IAQ) and CFCs that can require high performance from all parts of the HVAC system. In addition, renovation has overtaken new construction in the fan coil units market—demanding a design that caters to renovation issues. Trane UniTrane™ fan coil units meets the standards of today’s market and anticipate the needs These air terminal devices and heating products offer high-quality controls for efficient operation, and flexibility construction that can assure easy installation and service. We designe UniTrane fan coil units as an integral part of the company’s system solutions with standard IAQ-related features that fully comply with ASHRAE 62.Air handling units (AHU, sometimes referred to as ‘air handlers’) form part of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system (HVAC) that supplies, circulates and extracts air from buildings.

Generally, they are connected to the ductwork that supplies air to and extracts air from the interior and can provide ventilation, heating, cooling, humidity control and filtration. For more information see Air handling unit. Fan coil units (FCU) consist of only a fan and a heating or cooling element, are located within the space they are serving, and are generally not connected to ductwork. wine room air conditioning unitsThey may either just recirculate internal air, in which case a separate ventilation system is required, or may introduce s proportion of ‘fresh’ air that is mixed with the recirculated air.ac window unit plug Fan coil units can be wall-mounted, freestanding or ceiling-mounted and may be concealed in ceiling voids. ac unit for 400 sq ft

They may be controlled by local thermostats or by a building management system (BMS). Due to their simplicity, fan coil units are more economical to install than ducted air handling units. However, they can be noisy and can create vibrations because the fan is in the occupied space. Where fan coil units are supplied with chilled water and hot water from central boilers and chillers they are generally referred to as two pipe (either heating or cooling) or four pipe (both heating and cooling) units. Where the heating and cooling is provided locally, they may be referred to as variable refrigerant volume (VRV) or variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems. Here, refrigerant is circulated between one or more fan coil units and is connected to an external heat exchanger. These systems may be more prone to refrigerant leakage than units that are connected to hermetically-sealed central chillers. Fan coin units are relatively compact and straightforward to install. However, they require regular maintenance to ensure continued efficient operation.

When a fan coil unit cools air, it will generally cause condensation which must be collected and drained or pumped away. Your Energy Recovery Ventilator Core or ERV is an integral part of your home’s ventilation design. This new and innovative system provides state-of-the-art performance in high-rise residential condominiums. Simply put, your ERV allows better air quality by the delivery of fresh air directly into your home, while recovering 60% – 70% of the energy of your outgoing air. How Does it Work? In the winter, as warm, stale air is exhausted from your home, the heat from this air stream is used to warm the fresh, cold incoming air before it is distributed around the home. In summer, the cooler, air conditioned exhaust is used to cool the incoming fresh air and limits the amount of moisture transferred from the humid summer air. The two air streams never mix but they transfer or “share” their energy so it saves you money while working to save the Your energy recovery ventilator is controlled by two wall mounted controllers, one controller is located in the living room next to your thermostat and a second controller is located inside the washrooms.

The Living Room Controller has three settings: Low Speed – is your recommended daily setting. This setting is low continuous and is the ideal suggested setting by the manufacturer for everyday operation. Air will move through the ERV core at approximately 50 cfm or cubic feet per minute, ensuring a continuous fresh air supply throughout your home. High Speed – is recommended for high occupancy or high pollutant homes. This high continuous setting is for suites with a large number of residents or pets or for when you have large parties or gatherings. It is also for when the washroom is in use and stronger ventilation is required to compensate for the exhaust air from washroom or to mange your condensation. Your ERV at this setting will operate at 75 cfm. Intermittent – is the suggested holiday setting. This intermittent setting operates the ERV on a continuous 20 minute operating cycle followed by a 40 minutes resting cycle. This is the setting recommended for the ERV while you are on vacation or during a prolonged absence.

Off – the ERV is off when none of above settings is selected. This is used for when your ERV is being serviced or when you have open windows or doors th at allow your home air movement and ventilation normally provided by your ERV. The Washroom Controller has three time settings: The washroom controller always overrides the settings on the living room controller and runs the ERV fans on high-speed (75 cfm), the options are to run the ERV on high speed for: Your Integrated Fancoil Unit comes with a 2 year warranty. Maintenance of your IFCU is recommended approximately every 6 months to 1 year to prevent filters and the core of your ERV from becoming clogged, limiting ventilation, air flow and reducing the overall air quality of your home.
