The Millpond, Woodbine Terrace, Pembroke.
When Mr Needs decided to build a new home in Pembroke, he could not have chosen
a better location with his rear garden gently sloping down to the picturesque
millpond and with stunning views of the famous Pembroke Castle off to the right.
He decided that his heating system was going to be highly efficient and very
discrete.
Even Room Temperatures
One of the most significant benefits is the very even room temperatures which
can be rendered from these systems, often less than one-degree temperature
difference throughout an entire space. This happens through a process known as
aspiration, where air enters a room at a higher velocity than with conventional
air systems, and creates a venturi effect where all air in a room begins to
gently draw itself toward the entering air, creating very even room
temperatures. Numerous outlets provide conditioned air, but the temperature
difference through out will be one degree or less.
Little or No Drafts
This same process, the aspiration process, also guards against drafting, which
is a frequent complaint of most office heating and cooling systems. This is how
standard heating and cooling systems work, leading to drafts, but also hot and
cold spots.
Freedom of Design
Additionally, these systems can save you valuable floor space within a room, as
this illustration shows, the main supply air duct has been tucked away into the
edge of the loft, and then the smaller supply tubes have been dropped down
inside stud walls. Small duct/small air handler systems will free up
20 percent more floor space than standard radiators.
Better Aesthetics
Additionally, these outlets are unobtrusive and have been designed to fit in and
match with the space they are installed into, creating a much more visually
appealing situation than other possible applications. Small duct small air
handler systems can have their outlets installed in the floor, ceiling, or in a
side wall, allowing for a variety of solutions within a space.
Quiet
These systems, if they are installed correctly, and the design and installation
rules governing the system have been followed—are extremely quiet. Within a
room, the outlets will generate less than 3 dab each, far below the British and
European standard of 35 dab or less within a standardly sized room.
Improved Air Filtration
Given climactic occurrences, the build up of smog, and the often acrid state of
the air, providing filtration and ventilation is not only an option, it is often
a necessity.
With the capacity to bring in up to 100 percent of outside air, continually
refreshing and filtering the air as the system operates, small duct small air
handler systems can help keep end users healthy.
