Fan Coil Units (FCUs)
Fan coil units are key components in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems used for cooling and heating buildings. They facilitate heat transfer between air and water. Typically, a fan coil consists of a coil (pipes containing cold or hot water) and a fan that moves air.
How Fan Coils Work
Air passes over the cold or hot coil, adjusting the air temperature. The chilled or heated water is supplied by a central cooling or heating system, and the fan coil blows air over the coil, distributing cooled or heated air into the space. These units are commonly used in residential, commercial, office, and industrial buildings to create comfortable temperatures and improve indoor air quality.
Types of Fan Coil Units

Ceiling Fan Coil: Installed in false ceilings; suitable for large spaces and uniform air distribution.

Wall-Mounted Fan Coil: Mounted on walls; ideal for small to medium-sized rooms.

Floor Standing Fan Coil: Placed on the floor; suitable for large spaces needing stronger ventilation.

Ducted Fan Coil: Connected to duct systems to distribute air to multiple points.

Advantages of Fan Coil Units

Precise temperature control: allows independent temperature settings for each room or zone.

Easy installation and high flexibility.

Energy-efficient operation.

Compatible with central heating and cooling systems.

Lower noise levels compared to some other HVAC systems.

Applications

Cooling and heating in residential buildings.

Hotels, commercial and office centers.

Hospitals and healthcare facilities.

Industrial projects requiring temperature control.
