Air conditioning in its simplest form is the cooling of indoor air for thermal comfort. Most people think that air conditioners lower the temperature in their homes by pumping cool air in. What’s really happening is the warm air from your house is being removed and cycled back in as cooler air. This cycle continues until your thermostat reaches the desired temperature.
In a broader sense, the term can refer to any form of cooling, heating, ventilation, or disinfection that modifies the condition of air. Air Conditioning systems are installed usually due to a requirement to create comfortable living or working conditions. The Air Conditioning industry has never been large in the UK in comparison with warmer countries elsewhere in the world. The onset of global warming however seems likely to completely transform the market for air conditioning in the UK.
The concept of air conditioning is thought to date back to ancient Rome, were water supplied direct by aqueducts was allowed to run between the walls of buildings to cool them. The Chinese used water to turn turbines or fans in order to create cool spaces in a building.
Similar techniques in medieval Persia involved the use of cisterns and wind towers to cool buildings during the summer season. The air conditioning we see today is based on these ancient principles, however advances in the use of chemistry during the 19th century led to the first large scale modern type of air conditioning unit being ‘invented’ and used in 1902.
If inverter units are used in commercial buildings, these are often ceiling cassettes which come in a variety of specifications (1, 2 and 4 way cassettes). Perimeter areas and corridor areas often use air conditioning console units.
As summer temperatures continue to increase during the next decade it seems likely that many households will seek to install some form of air conditioning. There is good logic in equipping perhaps a main living room or master bedroom in the first instance.
Air conditioning systems have the ability to effectively be ‘run in reverse’, thereby also acting as a heat pump. This is an extremely efficient use of electricity in providing domestic heating by provision of warm blow air.
As a guideline the cost indication would be that a single wall inverter unit and compressor can be supplied and fitted at under 2000 +vat.
