How Gold Coast ducted air conditioners work

February 27th, 2010 - By allanmadams

 

With a ducted air conditioning system basically your Gold Coast air conditioner is hidden away, normally in your roof space. Normally , one central unit is sufficient for your house; ducting carries air from your home to the air conditioner and the air is then heated or cooled to keep your indoor air temperature constant.

Air vents are cut into your ceiling and then the air conditioner connected to the ducting. This enables one Gold Coast ducted air conditioning unit to serve your whole home.

Assuming your home is on two or more levels, you can still have ducted air conditioning installed - you can go for two or more smaller units, or have duct risers installed.A duct riser is simply a vertical duct connecting two or more levels, allowing you to transfer air from the air conditioner in the roof space to lower levels through a duct hidden away in a cupboard.

Gold Coast air conditioning provides cooling and dehumidification during the hot, humid months. During winter, air conditioning can provide energy-efficient heating.As well as maintaining a constant temperature in your home, excessive moisture is removed from the air by the dehumidifier.

Fundamental to all Gold Coast air conditioning installations is a heat exchange pump.Rather than converting electricity directly into heat energy, the electricity is used to move heat energy. The heat energy transfers to and from the air in your home by the use of refrigerants inside the heat pump.

In summer, excess heat energy is transferred from the air indoors to the air outdoors, cooling your home down. As the air is chilled, excess moisture is removed from the air as well.

In winter, heat energy is transferred from the outside air to the indoor air via the heat exchange pump. By moving heat energy into your room in this way, you can gain up to 4kW of heat energy from each 1kW of electricity that is consumed.
