Add-On Refrigerated Cooling

Integrated refrigerated air conditioning systems are specially designed to use the same ductwork and grilles as your ducted gas heating – which makes this a great option if you require refrigerated cooling.

Ducted refrigerated air conditioners consist of a compressor, fan and heat exchange coil and use a refrigerant to cool the air. Refrigerated air conditioners have two separate mechanical parts, an outdoor compressor and an indoor unit/fan coil.

• The outdoor compressor unit compresses refrigerant gas into a liquid state to allow the refrigeration effect to take place, exactly the same way as does your home refrigerator.
• The compressed gas is transferred into the indoor unit.
• The indoor unit basically consists of a fan and a heat exchange coil.
• The fan is connected and then controlled by a room installed thermostat that draws the air from inside the home, passes it through a filter and then recirculates throughout your home approximately 10 times each hour.
• Ducted refrigerated air conditioning units are normally positioned inside the roof, as well as a unit outside the house (usually on a side wall) with ducting throughout the roof space to direct air into the rooms of the home.

You can add integrated cooling to existing ducted gas heating systems, as well as new installations. However this is only possible if the heater is correctly sized and the ductwork has been upsized to allow for refrigerated air.
