AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing air conditioners with outdoor units compromise building aesthetics and efficiency when installed indoors, and monobloc units are noisy and inefficient due to their positioning requirements and housing of the compressor.

Method used

A condensing unit with a centrifugal fan that allows indoor installation, utilizing high pressure head to maintain efficiency and can be positioned away from perimeter walls via pipes, or integrated with an evaporator for high-efficiency monobloc operation.

Benefits of technology

Enables high efficiency and reduced noise by allowing indoor installation without compromising performance, and flexibility in positioning, including integration with split units or monobloc configurations.
