An Overview of Fan Coil Units

Fan coil units function by a fan collecting, circulating, and directing existing air into an area. It then blows the air into the fan coil unit by forcing it over a cooling or heating condenser coil. This process results in cooler air coming out of the unit without ductwork. Most fan coil units function by controlling the temperature of a space through the use of circulated cold or hot water, and this water may be taken from a central plant that is complete with the necessary equipment (such as a cooling tower and boilers.) The equipment will then get rid of the heat and generate hot water.

They can also be used be used along with with standard HVAC units to provide a secondarty source of heating or cooling. Fan coil units are cost effective as they don’t involve the installation and upkeep of air ducts, and also allow for a lot of freedom in regards of placement for that same reason.
