Fan Coil Heat Exchanger

Fan coil heat exchangers are essential components in many HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, particularly in central air-conditioning equipment. They function as the interface between the conditioned air and the cooling or heating medium, facilitating heat transfer to or from the air. These units typically consist of a fan, a heat exchanger coil, and associated controls.

Product Details

  1. Structure and Composition

    • Fan: Drives the flow of air through the heat exchanger coil.
    • Heat Exchanger Coil: Typically made of copper tubing, with cooling water or heating medium flowing inside. The fins on the coil increase the heat exchange area, enhancing thermal efficiency.
    • Control Systems: Regulates fan speed and medium flow rate based on indoor temperature sensor feedback to maintain constant indoor temperatures.

  1. Operating Principle
    • Cooling water or heating medium flows through the heat exchanger coil, exchanging heat with the air passing through it.
    • The fan circulates indoor air over the heat exchanger coil, achieving heating or cooling.
    • The control system adjusts fan speed and medium flow rate based on indoor temperature, ensuring stable indoor climate conditions.

  1. Types

    • Low-Velocity Pressure Fan Coil Heat Exchangers: Designed to reduce exhaust air velocity from the heat exchanger, enhancing user comfort and extending motor and fan lifespan.
    • Chilled Water Fan Coil Heat Exchangers: Utilize chilled water as the cooling medium, exchanging heat with indoor air through the heat exchanger coil to achieve cooling effects.
  1. Advantages

    • Energy Efficiency: Optimized design and control systems maximize energy utilization.
    • High Comfort Levels: Provides even distribution of heated or cooled air, maintaining a stable indoor climate.
    • Ease of Maintenance: Compact structure facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance.

  1. Applications

    • Widely used in commercial buildings, offices, hospitals, schools, and other venues requiring centralized heating and cooling.
    • Suitable for residential buildings, apartments, and other small structures, offering personalized indoor climate control.
  2. Maintenance and Servicing

    • Regularly inspect the fan, coil, and control system for proper operation.
    • Clean coil fins and fan blades to ensure air circulation and thermal efficiency.
    • Replace worn-out components such as fan bearings and seals.
    • Follow manufacturer recommendations for routine maintenance and servicing.
