    air system options

    for long vertical distance (about 40 feet between evap-cond) what would be the best system for air conditioning. this are small one bed apartments and there in not much room for central handlers.

    air cooling system for old buildings

    My company restores old buildings. This one was originally constructed in 1920. We want to keep as much as we can from the original architecture (5 stories high). We need to design an air conditioning system for it. What would be the best option? we are considering chillers or cooling...

    Air condition system for old buildings

    Sorry, and don't take me wrong Willard3. I am in Panama, Central America and we only have a few choices of air systems and there is very limited new technology which is not easy to find here. Our local mechanical engineers are not always updated with the new products. For this building, my...

    Best air cooling system

    I can not use gas air system because here we don’t have a natural gas supplier. My research led me to three options, chillers (mini chillers), the variable refrigerant volume system or cooling towers. Still looking to understand the difference.

    Best air cooling system

    For an apartment building (9 apartments total) in a tropical city, what will be the best air cooling system that does not increases the heat, vibration and noise to the building itself and to the neighbors. the machines will be set at the roof.
