Fan Coil Units: High Capacity Horizontal

While the in-room horizontal fan coils units may be the highest volume product used in the industry due to the numbers used in hospitality, the high-capacity horizontal fan coil units are the most versatile. The span of sizes, options, and variants make these units suited for residential, office, & industrial applications. High-capacity refers to the larger sizes up to 4,000 CFM and the ability of the fans to handle 3/4" w.g. of static pressure. Both allow for more complex ductwork and air distribution than other designs. Learning how each of the components in the construction works together to deliver comfort will help select the best product for your application. 5 Consideration Variables The previous article highlighted the five variables to consider when selecting a horizontal fan… Read more

Fan Coil Units: In-Room Horizontal

Our previous article highlights the variables to consider when choosing a Horizontal Fan Coil design for a project. The highest volume unit type in the industry is the in-room horizontal fan coil unit. The units are ideal for hotel rooms, condominiums, and small offices. They are typically installed above a ceiling and supply directly to the room they serve. The air returns through a grille in the ceiling, either directly into the unit or through the plenum. This article will discuss how the units work, the options available for each unit, and the design considerations when choosing an in-room horizontal fan coil unit. 5 Design Variables The previous article highlighted the five variables to consider when selecting a horizontal fan coil unit. The variables are capacity, static pressure,… Read more

Square Ceiling Diffusers: What are the Differences?

When selecting square ceiling diffusers, many of the options available can seem quite similar outside of appearances. With so many different standard 24 x 24 ceiling diffusers on the market and in Nailor catalogs, engineers could be hard-pressed to find what differentiates each product. The differences, however, can vary from obvious ones like performance and noise to lesser-known variables like throw patterns and specialized applications, all of which can affect the overall comfort in the space. Nailor RNS The Nailor RNS includes three configurations ranging from 2 to 4 cones. For example, the standard 4-cone stamped square diffuser (RNS) is quite similar to the 3-cone (RNS3) and 2-cone  (RNS2) diffusers that came after. If selecting for high inlet pressures, the 2-cone RNS2 is a… Read more

5 Variables to Consider when Choosing a Horizontal Fan Coil

Chilled water fan coils are small air handling units that range from 200-4,000 CFM. Several commercially available product types serve multiple applications. In some instances, choosing which product is best for your application is difficult. There are two main configurations: vertical & horizontal. Horizontal units are typically located above a ceiling while vertical units are installed in a closet or exposed in the room. The selection between vertical and horizontal are made during the building design phase, and there will be little debate over where the project needs a horizontal or vertical. Choosing the right horizontal product for an application requires an understanding of the types available. Horizontal Fan Coils While the base building blocks of a chilled water fan coil are… Read more
