Portable / mobile air conditioning units

• Portable air conditioning (mono-block) systemsThe mono-block portable air conditioning unit is a stand alone portable system which has the condensing coil (heat exchanger) integral within the assembly of the unit but separate to the evaporator coil. This portable unit has a flexible duct usually 100mm to 125mm in diameter which expels the hot air to the outside of the building. These systems are a very popular portable air conditioning unit.

• The split type portable air conditioning system has a flexible pipe assembly which connects the inside of the portable air conditioning unit with the outside unit. The outside part is usually the fan and condensing coil (heat exchanger) and is the hot side of the portable air conditioning system. These systems are effective but generally work out more expensive than mono-block portable air conditioning.

Thinking of getting office Air conditioning??

Office Air conditioning recommendations.

When installing air conditioning in a office it is worth buying a quality unit. Cheaper units lack control features that commercial air conditioning systems have as standard. For example a 24Hr/7day timer so when your office is not occupied, the air conditioning is not running costing you money. Quality systems have superior mode settings for heat / cool / fan / dehumidify / auto. Cheap systems lack automatic feature which lets you set the temperature and the unit will change between heat and cool automatically which is important in office air conditioning systems. Most commercial office air conditioning systems have 3 years warranty and because they have a higher coefficient they usually have a ECA listing (air conditioning heat pumps only). Inverter units are recommended for daily usage.

Fixed speed or Inverter office air conditioning?

Inverter air conditioners are not new to the air conditioning industry having been around for +10 years now. The technology has now been miniaturised and manufacturing costs have fallen to make the technology more affordable for the air conditioning industry. An inverter air conditioning system controls the compressor electronically by altering the hertz (frequency). i.e - if the area to be air conditioned requires 50% power of the air conditioners compressor as it is close to reaching desired temperature, the invert will reduce the frequency to 25Hz (UK 50hertz ) thus running the air conditioner compressor at 50% without a need to shut the air conditioner compressor off. It makes for a air conditioner with close control on temperature and reduces electrical requirements by in some cases 60% as there is no inductive load. For server room air conditioning it is advised to use inverter air conditioning. The simple fact is that you will save within the first year of use the money you spent initially on the equipment. Hyper-inverter and power inverter air conditioning have cop's close to 5 time input power so they where possible should be used to reduce your electricity bill as well as CO2 usage.

Installation of Air conditioning heat pumps Church heating, Somerby, Leicestershire UK

Installation of Somerby Church air conditioning heat-pumps:

Orion air conditioning and refrigeration ltd were asked to look into the installation of a new church air conditioning heat-pump heating system for the All Saints Church,Somerby, Leicestershire (The first of its kind in England). All Saints church is a beautiful 13th Century Church with great architecture set in the picture postcard village of Somerby Leicestershire, UK. The church had around 200 meters/Squared of area that used a oil fired hot air system which had now failed and beyond economical repair. All Saints church Somerby was in need of a economical and green way of heating.

What air conditioning heat-pumps were installed in the church:

Units we installed include the 5 x Mitsubishi Heavy Industrial - SRK63ZE-S1 Wall Mounted (6.3kW 21000 Btu) HYPER-INVERTER, 1 x Mitsubishi Heavy Industrial SRK40-HGS Wall Mounted (3.7 kW 13000 Btu) Fixed speed and 1 x Mitsubishi Heavy Industrial SRK20ZGX-S (2.8 kW / 9000 Btu) HYPER-INVERTER Air Conditioning units which provided enough heat for the entire building. These units have a amazing COP (5.45 initial input on SRK20-ZGX) which means that every 1000w of electrical energy going in produces 5450 watts of heat. For more information on heat-pump inverters please here.

Pictures of the church heat-pump air conditioning project:

Background of the church air conditioning heat-pumps:

Parish church councillor Fuad Hamzeh was quoted on various heating systems including wet systems such as radiators and oil fired boilers which came in almost four times the price of the Mitsubishi Heat-Pump air conditioning church units which where installed. The Mitsubishi heat-pump air conditioning systems provided a great value way of heating a beautiful old church within a short space of time and with little cost and also reduces CO2 emissions.

Church air conditioning Heat-pump efficiency and CO2 emissions:

This church air conditioning heat-pump system, because slightly undersized for the area took around half a hour to heat fully but once warm the outdoor heat-pump inverter units slowed down because the temperature had been reached therefore just pumping small amounts of heat in to maintain heat. The 200msq area was consuming 15 Amps on 1phase 240V supply. This works out to be around 25p/hour to heat this huge area and reduced CO2 emissions by at least 60%..

Heat-pump installation criteria:

This church air conditioning heat-pump installation was undertaken by lead engineer Arron Denton with assistance from installation engineer Craig Fogarty, (both employed and trained by Orion). Because the church is grade 1 listed extra care was needed to keep the integrity of the building in line with planning applications and keep the history of the church intact. All pipe and services were installed on the outside of the building on cable tray at the back of the church and white plastic trunking within the building at low level (see BBC TV coverage for over view) which was later painted to fit in with the church colours. The church air conditioning heat-pump units have a life span of around 15 to 25 years depending on their use. Installation time 14 days.

Conclusion of the All Saints Church air conditioning Heat-pump:

The installation was blessed on the 23rd March 2009 by the Bishop of Leicester the Right Rev Tim Stevens on his 2009 tour of the diocese and the event was televised on a BBC TV channel on the 24th March.

The general consensus was that All Saints Somerby must be the warmest church in England!!!!.
