Compared to the installation of air conditioning, the installation of ceiling cooling is still relatively new. This cooling alternative is healthy, energy-saving and silent. In direct comparison with air conditioners, they have almost nothing in common. One thing they both do, however, is cool.
In this article, we’ll enlighten you on how a ceiling cooling system works.
It avoids cold fan
With ceiling cooling, no unpleasant air conditioning air is blown around. Instead of a box, which is attached to the wall, large area registers are installed, through which cool water flows.
Because the surfaces surrounding you are now cooled, you can transfer heat energy to these surfaces. The system temperature is adjusted so that it feels neither too cold nor too warm for you in the room.
The fan of a conventional air conditioner not only creates an unpleasant draft. Bacteria and viruses, which may even have formed in the air conditioning system, are also thrown through the air. This leads to them reaching you more easily and you catching a summer flu, for example.
It works like the sun
The ceiling cooling primarily does not cool the air. It works on the principle of radiation.
Unlike air conditioning, there is no air circulation and the radiation is uniform.
For you, this means that on hot days you can open the doors or windows of your premises without hesitation. In fact, it does not matter if the air is exchanged, because a surface cooling works mainly through matter and not through air.
She is mostly a multi-talent
In many cases, a ceiling cooling system is also a ceiling heating system. What provides a pleasant feel-good climate in summer, also provides a pleasant feel-good climate in winter.
The ceiling heating works on the same principle as the ceiling cooling. In winter, only the system temperatures change by a few degrees Celsius.
Even in winter, ceiling heating has the same advantages as in summer: it heats evenly, there is hardly any air circulation and you can regularly open your windows as long as you want.
It saves your energy costs
Cooling works either through the cooling function of the heat pump or another cooling device, but ideally even through the natural cold from the ground.
For many new buildings, and in some renovations, there is an opportunity to install the ceiling cooling and pay for it in the future hardly any energy costs. What sounds incredible is basically a simple principle.
For this purpose, a cold generation surface is installed in the ground below the house. Since the temperature in the ground does not usually exceed 15 degrees Celsius, even in summer, the water in the cooling surfaces can be optimally cooled.
It is then sent through the cooling coils in the house to cool the surfaces.
Alternatively, the cold generation area can be installed in the basement.
It is more effective the larger the cooled area is
The running costs and efficiency of ceiling cooling increases by cooling the walls in addition to the ceiling.
The more surface area used for cooling, the faster and easier it is to achieve the desired comfortable climate. This is also reflected in energy consumption.
Wall cooling is more effective than ceiling cooling, even considering the comfort climate. This is because the walls are predominantly closer to people.
However, in many cases, the ceiling provides a larger free-standing area where the registers are placed.
Optimally, therefore, both are taken up.
Conclusion: Cooling can be cheap and healthy!
Thinking about cooling in the summer, you’ve probably been thinking about a noisy box blowing cold air into the room.
With ceiling cooling you get rid of the unpleasant side effects of classic air conditioning. No more cold drafts, summer flu and high energy bills!
With an even larger area, such as the additional installation of a wall cooling, you can optimize your comfort climate and your energy costs even further.
Our surface cooling is energy-saving and particularly easy to retrofit for renovations. If you also want to benefit from energy-saving surface cooling, click here.
