Product Types

We can supply any equipment ranging from a single mobile air conditioner for a small room to a purpose designed and built central plant system for a whole building. 
 
Mobile air conditioners

Small wheeled unit which can be either a one piece unit, which has a flexible hose discharging to atmosphere or a two piece unit connected by flexible pipe work, on which the condensing section has to be located outside of the room that needs cooling.

Packaged room air conditioners

one piece unit that is built into the wall
or window glazing.

Split system air conditioners

two piece system in which the Indoor units can be wall, floor or ceiling mounted and are connected to the Outdoor unit by insulated copper pipe work, which depending upon the output of the system
can be anything from 15 to 70 metres in length.

Multi-type air conditioners

a variation of the split system in that 2, 3 or 4 indoor units can be connected to one outdoor unit.

Central plant systems - VRV or VRF system

a major variation upon the split system in that up to 40 indoor units can be connected to one outdoor unit
and the total pipe length can be up to 150 metres.

- Ducted air handling system

the main cooling unit, which can be split or packaged is mounted remotely from the areas being conditioned
i.e. plant room or roof top and the conditioned
air is ducted to the required areas.

Package Room Unit

Art Cool wall mounted split unit

Wall Mounted split unit

Ceiling Cassette split unit

Product Brands

We can supply any equipment marketed in the UK, but the following manufacturers represent some of the best available and all supply units as described above, mainly as  Inverter Heat Pumps or Heat Pump versions:-

The systems are complete with hand held infrared remote controls or wired wall mounted controllers which can be used to select room temperature and fan speed, with some having the option of 24/7 timer controls.

Subject to ongoing Maintenance all the manufactures listed above provide a three year warranty on their equipment, with a five warranty on some systems.

 Inverter and Fixed Speed

How do they work?

It's actually quite simple. Air conditioners work in much the same way as your refrigerator except there are two separate, but integral, parts to the system. There is an outside unit housing the compressor that is similar to the exterior back of your fridge. It draws warmth from the outside air in even the coldest of weather. That warmth is then transferred inside the home using a refrigerant process through a piping system powered by an indoor fan unit that is typically mounted to the wall. This is why the system is also often referred to as a heat pump rather then air conditioning. Both are in fact the same. Similarly, in summer, the reverse happens. Warm air is drawn from the interior room and expelled by the outside unit.

Heat Pumps are capable of transferring up to 4kW of heat into a space while only consuming 1kW of electrical energy. The energy efficiency of a heat pump will decreases as the temperature difference between inside and outside becomes greater, even at low temperatures a heat pump can provide 3 times as much heat as a normal electric space heater would provide with the same amount of electricity input. This makes Heat pumps extremely energy efficient.

Inverter System or Fixed Speed System?

What is a Fixed Speed Split System?

This system only has a single speed compressor motor that is either on or off.

It works similar to a fan heater that switches off when the desired temperature is reached and on again when the temperature drops to a set level. It speeds up or slows down to calculate the heat loss from the space to be heated ensuring it is only putting in the same amount of heat that the space is losing.

What does Inverter Mean?

Inverter technology uses a variable speed compressor motor similar to a car. It simply slows down and speeds up as needed to hold a selected comfort setting.

Inverter technology provides a more precise room temperature without the temperature fluctuations of fixed speed systems.

Inverter vs Fixed Speed:

Inverter Systems are Approximately 30% more efficient than fixed speed systems.

Inverter systems reach desired room temperature quicker.

The speed control of the outdoor unit also means quieter operation, this is important especially at night in residential areas.
