Advantages of ducted installation of fan coil units under the ceiling: example of Mycond MCFC

What is ducted installation?

Ductedinstallation of a fan coil is a way of placing climate control equipment in the inter-ceiling space with subsequent air distribution through the air duct system. Unlike traditional wall-mounted or floor-mounted units, ducted fan coil units are completely hidden from view, and their presence in the room is visible only through decorative air distribution grilles.

The principle of ducted installation is that the fan coil sucks air from the room through the return grille, processes it (cools or heats it), and then delivers the cooled or heated air back to the room through a system of air ducts and air inlets. This approach allows for even air distribution throughout the entire room or even in several adjacent rooms.

Ductedinstallation under the ceiling is especially relevant in modern construction, where both functionality and aesthetic aspects are important. This method of installation allows architects and designers to create clean, minimalist interiors without visible HVAC equipment.

How ducted installation is implemented in Mycond MCFC

Mycond MCFCfan coil units are specially designed for ducted installation under the ceiling. The compact design allows the device to be installed even in rooms with limited ceiling space.

Installation is carried out in several stages:

Site preparation: The fan coil unit is mounted on special hangers in the ceiling space, taking into account access for maintenance and filter replacement.

Connection of communications: The device is supplied with pipelines with cold and hot water (in the case of a 4-pipe version), electrical power supply and a drainage system for condensate drainage.

Installation of air ducts: A system of rectangular or circular ducts is laid from the fan coil to the air supply points. The Mycond MCFC provides a static pressure of up to 50 Pa, which allows for long distances of air transportation.

Installation of grilles: Decorative grilles are installed in the ceiling for air supply and intake, which can be of different sizes and designs according to the interior design.

A special feature of Mycond MCFC is the possibility of flexible configuration: you can choose the air intake position and the option of connecting pipelines, which simplifies adaptation to specific installation conditions.

Advantages of ducted installation

Interior aesthetics

The main advantage of the ducted installation of a fan coil unit under the ceiling is the preservation of the purity of the room design. The absence of visible equipment allows designers to realize any interior concept without compromise. Only neat grilles remain in the room, which can be matched to the interior style or made almost invisible.

This is especially important for prestigious facilities such as hotels, restaurants, and class A offices, where aesthetics are critical. Ducted ceiling mounting also avoids problems with the placement of outdoor units on the building facade, which is important for historic city centers or buildings with architectural restrictions.

Saving space

A ceiling-mountedducted fan coil does not take up any useful floor space, unlike floor-standing or wall-mounted units. This is especially valuable in compact spaces where every square meter counts - in small apartments, offices, hotel rooms.

In addition, a single channel fan coil can serve several rooms at the same time, which saves both space and money on equipment. Instead of installing a separate air conditioner in each room, one powerful Mycond MCFC can provide a comfortable climate in the entire apartment or part of the office.

Air distribution efficiency

Ducted installation under the ceiling ensures optimal air distribution throughout the room. The air supply from above creates a uniform temperature field without "dead zones" or excessive air flows.

Thanks to the possibility of placing several air inlets in different parts of the room, perfect air circulation is achieved. This is especially important for large open spaces where it is necessary to ensure comfortable conditions in all areas.

The static pressure of up to 50 Pa of Mycond MCFC fan coil units allows air to be supplied at a distance of up to 15-20 meters from the main unit, which expands the system planning possibilities.

Installation and configuration options

Rear air inlet window

The rear air intake configuration is suitable for applications where the fan coil unit is placed along a wall or in a corner of the ceiling space. In this configuration, air is drawn in through the rear panel of the unit, allowing the return air grille to be placed on the wall.

Advantages of this option:

• Compact placement along walls
• Convenient access for maintenance from the front
• Possibility of placement in the corners of the room
• Efficient use of the inter-ceiling space

Lower air intake window

The bottom air intake configuration is ideal for placing the fan coil in the central part of the ceiling space. The air is drawn in through the bottom panel, allowing for the installation of a return air grille in the ceiling.

Advantages of the bottom intake:

• Uniform air intake from the entire volume of the room
• Possibility of central placement of the fan coil unit
• Optimal air circulation
• Flexibility in planning the location of the grilles

Left-hand pipe connection

Mycond MCFC supports both right- and left-handed piping connections, which provides additional opportunities for optimizing the layout of communications. This is especially important when renovating existing buildings or when there is limited space for pipe installation.

Who is suitable for in-ceiling installation

Residential real estate

Luxury apartments and penthouses: Ceiling-mounted ducted fan coil units are ideal for prestigious residential properties where both comfort and aesthetics are important. The absence of visible equipment allows you to create luxurious interiors without compromise.

Studio apartments and lofts: In open spaces, a ducted fan coil unit ensures even air distribution throughout the entire area, creating comfortable conditions in each functional area.

Private houses: For country houses, ducted installation allows you to create a centralized climate control system with individual temperature control in each room.

Commercial real estate

Class A offices: Prestigious office centers require perfect climate systems that do not violate the strictness of the business interior. Ducted fan coil units under the ceiling provide the necessary level of comfort while maintaining the representative appearance of the premises.

Hotels and restaurants: In the hospitality industry, interior aesthetics have a direct impact on the guest experience. The hidden placement of climate control equipment allows you to create atmospheric spaces without technical elements.

Medical and educational institutions: Ducted installation ensures even air distribution, which is important for maintaining comfortable conditions in large rooms with a high concentration of people.

Facilities with special requirements

Historic buildings: During the restoration of architectural monuments, ducted installation allows for the installation of modern climate control systems without disturbing the authentic look of the interiors.

Exhibition halls and museums: To preserve exhibits, precise microclimate control is required without creating local air flows, which is provided by ducted systems.

Ceiling-mountedducted installation of Mycond MCFC fan coil units is the best solution for those who appreciate the combination of functionality, efficiency and aesthetics. This approach allows you to create comfortable climatic conditions while maintaining the beauty and harmony of the interior space.
