Which air conditioner is right for me?
With the increasing temperatures, the same question arises every year: How do I efficiently cool my living room, the office, the bedroom or the attic apartment. There are various possibilities. There are Air conditioning, Fans and air coolers. The most efficient method is certainly the air conditioning. Spcshop.ch offers many cheap and high -quality air conditioning systems for all needs.
How does one work air conditioner?
The gaseous refrigerant is heavily compressed using a compressor (compressor). The coolant heated by the large pressure is guided via a capacitor where the heat is withdrawn. This warm exhaust air is directed to the outside via the exhaust hose or the outside unit. The gaseous refrigerant is guided via the throttle valve, where the pressure reduces and the coolant becomes liquid again. This process causes the coolant to cool down heavily and thus can flow very cold air into the interior using a fan. As a "side effect", the air from the capacitor is also dehumidified. The moisture in the air sticks to the hot capacitor and then drips into a collecting bowl. The collected moisture evaporates with the heat and then we also transported out using the warm exhaust air. The cold cycle can be turned over on some devices, so the devices can also heat. With the Olimpia-Splendidide Air conditioners these devices are marked with heating function with HP (HEAT pump).
Today's modern air conditioning systems are filled with sustainable refrigerants, which are ecologically degradable. All of our air conditioners from Olimpia-Splendid, Duux and Bimar are up to date here.
What types of air conditioning systems are there?
We differentiate between the Air conditioning between mobile monobloc climate devices and fixed split air conditioning systems. As the name suggests, the mobile mono climate devices are mobile on rollers and can be easily pushed around. They all have an exhaust pipe that leads the warm air out of the room to be cooled. No installations are required for these devices. You only need a power connection. Split air conditioning systems, on the other hand, are fixed. This splitAir conditioner consist of an inner and an outdoor unit. The compressor and the capacitor are in the outside unit, the fan for the cold air is in the interior unit. These two devices are connected to the pipes to close the circulation. The pipes must be filled with coolant so that the cooling system works. The installation of a split air conditioning system may only be carried out by a designated refrigeration technician. In addition, a wall breakthrough must usually be made.
As an alternative or compromise between both systems, we also offer the Unico models from Olimpia-Splendid. These devices are installed fixed, but they have no outside unit. They are quiet and powerful and equipped with additional heating function. The assembly is only possible directly to a wall adjacent to the outside and requires 2 holes for air intake and exhaust air. The UNICO devices are also suitable for assembly on office and training containers.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two Climate system systems?
The mobile air conditioning units are mobile and therefore they can be used in different rooms if necessary. After the summer season, mobile air conditioners can be stowed away in the basement or in the garage. You are also cheaper to buy because you do not need installations. As a disadvantages of the mobile air conditioners, a higher volume. Since the whole technology is in the mobile devices in the device, they are louder than the split devices, where the loud components are installed in the outside unit. In addition, the mobile devices are usually a little weaker regarding cooling performance. The mobile air conditioners from Olimpia-Splendid and Duux are located in terms of volume and performance in the luxury class.
The advantage of the Split air conditioning systems is therefore certainly at a low volume. You can only hear the quiet sum of the ventilation in the inner unit. Since the compressor is installed in the outside unit, the noise remains outside. In addition, the split air conditioning systems are more powerful. Furthermore, depending on the model, several inner units can be connected to an outdoor unit. This means that several rooms can be cooled or heated. The elaborate and expensive installation of the devices is certainly the disadvantage here. In addition, these are installed and cannot be removed quickly. Fixed split systems must also be maintained periodically and at best filled with refrigerants when it licks somewhere. The fact that the installation of a climate split system requires a building application is an additional disadvantage. For example, assembly of an outdoor unit is very problematic in historical centers. Here our Unico devices without outside unit would be a good alternative.
Spcshop.ch on the sale of high-quality mobile mono-Air conditioners specialized. Split climate appliances can order spcshop.ch, but spcshop.ch (yet) does not offer any installation.
How is the cooling capacity specified?
The cooling capacity of one Air conditioner is shown in BTU (British Termal Unit) or in kilowatt hours (kWh). 1 kilowatt hour corresponds to 3,412, 14 BTU. The most common performance levels for mobile monobloc air conditioners are between 7,000 BTU (2.1 kWh) and 14,000 BTU (4.1 kWh). The latest and most powerful devices range up to 18,000 BTU (5.2 kWh).
How much power for which space size?
There are various influencing factors that must be observed when choosing optimal performance:
- Area and height of the room
- How well is the room isolated (walls, windows, ceiling)
- Has the room large window fronts with direct sunlight
- There are additional heat sources such as electrical devices and people in the room
All of these factors have a major impact on room temperature. The cooling capacity must be calculated accordingly. The following values can be roughly accepted at normal space height of approx. 2.40 m:
Space size 12 -20 m2 -7,000 -8,500 BTU
Space size 21 - 30 m2 - 9,000 - 11,000 BTU
Space size 31 - 40 m2 - 12,000 - 13,000 BTU
Space size 41 - 50 m2 - 14,000 - 15,000 BTU
However, this information is to be enjoyed with caution. Due to the additional influencing factors mentioned, the information can vary. Basically, a somewhat stronger model can be selected, then you are on a safe side. For very large rooms, it is advisable to choose several devices to achieve optimal air and cold distribution. Some Olimpia-Splendid air conditioners are equipped with the patented Blue Air Technology, which guarantees an optimized air distribution in the room and thus supports the improved cooling of the room.
WiFi technology in the air conditioners
The new WiFi climate devices in the spcshop.ch range can connect to your own house wifi. The desired data can then be set using the manufacturer's free downloadable app. For example, the cooling time and shutdown can be programmed. So you can already switch the device from the office and the room is already cooled when you arrive at home.
Energy classes:
The minimum request for energy efficiency for air conditioning units in Switzerland is energy efficiency class A. Our devices meet all this requirement, we even carry devices with energy efficiency A+and A ++. These devices are accordingly energy -saving and still offer a high cooling capacity.
More functions:
The air conditioners from Olimpia-Splendid, Duux and Bimar in the spcshop.ch range are also equipped with various functions. These features range from remote control, touch display, timer, various ventilation levels, WIFI, heating function (HP), Blue Air Technology, Silent system, automatic ventilation flaps to various programs such as auto mode, sleep mode, turbo mode.
Useful tips:
The mobile air conditioning units all have a pull -out exhaust hose, via which the hot exhaust air is removed from the outside. This exhaust air should be directed to the outside over the door or the window. To seal the gap, we offer the window kit Duux Dxmawk01 (Art. No. 80042).
The exhaust hose can be up to max. 150 cm. to be pulled out. This hose must not be extended because the air conditioner can be damaged on the one hand (due to heat stem) and because the longer hose additionally heats the room.
The spcshop.ch range:
Our broad spcshop.ch range comprises mobile air conditioners for all needs. We offer cheap entry-level models as well as very powerful top devices. The models are equipped with different performance levels and equipment.
