Reverse Cycle Ducted Air conditioning Systems in Melbourne

A Dale Air ducted systems provide air conditioned comfort to new and existing homes. The indoor unit is usually located in the ceiling or under the floor with flexible ductwork distributing conditioned air through vents located throughout the house, where as the compressor is installed outside the home.

Dale Air ducted systems can be designed to operate in two or more zones, which can be heated or cooled at different times. This means you can operate your air conditioning system in the living area during the day and in the bedrooms at night saving you money on energy costs.

Inverter Technology.

Conventional air conditioners operate at a fixed speed, delivering a fixed amount of cooling and heating. While trying to maintain a set temperature they operate on a 'stop and start' principle.

A Dale Air inverter is a much more advanced technology that operates differently. It works like the accelerator of a car, gently increasing or decreasing power. It reaches the desired temperature quicker and maintains it without wild fluctuations.

That means uninterrupted comfort and significant energy savings.

Reverse Cycle Air-conditioners

Reverse Cycle air-Conditioners (RCAC) combine refrigerative cooling and dehumidification, as well as very efficient heating. With a RCAC you have the one unit providing the combined effects of both a home air-conditioner and a heater.

Outdoor Unit

As the name would suggest this component sits outside the home and is often referred to as the Condensing Unit. It contains a compressor as well as other vital components and is connected via two copper pipes, which contain coolant to the indoor unit, or fan coil.

Indoor unit/fan coil

The fan coil is installed in the roof space and extracts heat from the air inside and transfers it outside to the condenser via the coolant pipes. The cooled air is then distributed back through the ducting to the required rooms. This process is reversed to heat your home in winter.

The Advantages Of Ducted Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning

The most obvious benefit is that the one appliance can be used for heating or cooling. Other benefits include:

• Quiet to operate
• The constant temperature is good for asthma sufferers, babies and the elderly
• It filters the air so you can enjoy cleaner air
• No open flames, makes it safe for families with children

Because a reverse cycle air conditioner works by transferring heat it is more energy efficient than normal electric heating. This helps our environment and helps reduce your electricity bill. This efficiency is further enhanced with the use of systems like Control Air and Control Air Platinum.

Temperature Control

Temperature Averaging

A Thermostat is the basic level of temperature control and all air conditioning systems come with one as standard equipment.

A Thermostat allows you to set the average temperature for the whole home, giving you no control of the actual temperature in any given room.

That's why we developed a unique new system option that offers individual room control. It's called Control Air.

Industry Standard

A Thermostat, which lets you set the average temperature for your home from a central control panel. For greater control see our Control Air Option.

Limitations of Conventional Systems

Different rooms have different air conditioning needs at different times of the day:

• In summer east facing rooms need more cooling in the early hours as the morning sun pours into the room. West facing rooms need much more cooling against the hot afternoon sun.
• In winter west facing rooms need more heating in the morning while east facing rooms need more heating in the afternoon.

Conventional "constant volume" systems can't deal with these variations as they measure the temperature in one central location and cool all rooms equally.
