Commercial Air Conditioners
Commercial air conditioners are used to cool commercial buildings such as offices and retail stores. Their efficient operation optimizes worker performance and makes customer environments comfortable.
Larger commercial settings, such as office high-rises and supermarkets, use central air conditioning systems to most efficiently keep the entire building at one consistent, comfortable temperature. Many commercial settings, such as shopping malls, instead use split-system air conditioning units where the condensing unit is stored on the roof. There may be one large condensing unit or a number of small ones to cool various areas of the building differently.
With very large buildings, especially high rises, a split system is ineffective. These buildings use chilled-water systems that pipe cold water throughout the building to cool it. A well-insulated chilled-water pipe can cool a building of any size.
