Central air conditioning? It is a high-capacity air conditioning unit, typically consisting of a single large piece that includes all the components of the air conditioning system, such as the evaporator, compressor, expansion valve, condenser, fans, and other parts of the refrigeration cycle.

These units are usually placed in a well-ventilated area due to the heat emission and the sound produced by the unit during operation, typically on the building’s roof or setbacks.

Air is transported from the unit to the desired space through air ducts (Duct).

Requirements for installing central air conditioning.

• Each air conditioning system, whether central or evaporative, has architectural and structural requirements that must be considered when choosing the appropriate system.
• In the central air conditioning system, ceiling openings in the concrete must be marked before pouring, which are the vertical openings through which the air ducts (ducts) pass.
• Also, mark the wall openings for the horizontal air ducts (ducts) and ensure they do not conflict with the hanging beams.
• The central air conditioning unit requires an open and suitable space within the building.
• Designate a high-capacity electrical line (3-phase).
• Air ducts occupy space in the suspended ceiling, which must be considered during the design.

Central air conditioning installation requirements and extensions

• The central air conditioning unit is supplied with two lines of air duct extensions.
• The air supply line, called “Supply,” is insulated.
• The return air line, called “Return,” is also insulated. It connects to the air mixing unit (Mix Box), which mixes the return air with a portion of the fresh air (Fresh Air) to refresh the air in the space to be conditioned.
• A sound damper is installed at the unit outlet to absorb the noise generated by the unit.

Advantages of central air conditioning

• Its high cooling capacity.
• It has become possible to cool large areas with a single device of high capacity.
• The designer can completely isolate the main unit from the interior spaces of the building, thus eliminating its sound.
• Constant air renewal due to its inclusion of a Mix Box, which mixes the return air with a certain percentage of fresh outdoor air.
• Maintenance work is carried out outside the building.

Places of use for central air conditioning

• Central air conditioning is used in many commercial and residential projects, as well as in large and open spaces such as “administrative buildings, large halls, warehouses, factories, banks, airports, shopping centers, and other applications.”
• It is also used in “villas and palaces,” and some clients prefer it because maintenance work is done outside the building.
