Light commercial air conditioning system is the abbreviation for light commercial central air conditioning (also known as small central air conditioning), which is a type of product between large central air conditioning and traditional household air conditioning. It can also be said to be the application of central air conditioning products in small commercial occasions. Villas and small clubs have grown rapidly in China in recent years, and their impact on the sales of commercial central air conditioning will also become increasingly significant. Here are the selection methods and application scenarios for light commercial central air conditioning:
1、 Considerations for choosing lightweight commercial central air conditioning:
In fact, homeowners must consider multiple factors before selecting the most suitable air conditioning system to meet their needs. These factors include: the nature of the business premises, the size of the premises, outdoor environment, government or building planning, number of employees or customers, air conditioning design and cost expenditures, etc. It is also necessary to consider whether the air conditioning system is easy to maintain.
a. Size of business location:
Generally speaking, this is the most important factor, and smaller stores such as fashion stores, supermarkets, etc. can use low cooling capacity air ducts or embedded air conditioning units; Larger stores are more suitable for using high-capacity air ducts to ensure that cold air can be evenly delivered to every corner of the room; Office buildings or classrooms can use air-cooled heat pump units to separate and control each room; As for large restaurants or factories, water-cooled systems (such as water-cooled cabinets) or high air volume ducted fans are more suitable.
b. Industry category:
The nature of the business of the owner clearly determines the requirements for air conditioning, as different industries will generate different amounts of heat and humidity in the business premises, directly affecting the choice of air conditioning. For example, a small fashion store may have completely different requirements for air conditioning compared to a convenience store; For example, the air in a restaurant is usually more humid than that in an office building of the same area, but attention must be paid to whether the office building will use a large number of electronic devices; Hot pot restaurants also generate more heat than other restaurants, so they need to use high-capacity air conditioning systems.

c. Indoor environment:
Of course, when considering visual aesthetics, the air conditioning system may need to coordinate and match with the surrounding environment, and even need to be hidden. If you are running a fashion store, the best choice is a system that is both aesthetically pleasing and does not obstruct the space, such as air conditioning hidden inside or suspended under the ceiling. In addition, the quietness of the air conditioning system is another factor that needs to be considered.
d. Outdoor environment:
When the location where air conditioning needs to be installed is not an independent place, please check the regulations of the building before formally selecting the air conditioning system. For example, is it allowed to install radiators on the exterior walls of buildings, or must it be ensured that the hot air blown out by the radiator fan does not disturb nearby merchants. In addition, sufficient space must be reserved around the outdoor unit of the air conditioner for maintenance work.
e. External heat source:
Sunlight is the largest source of heat, so the ratio of window area to wall area will directly affect the heat transmitted into the room. The reason is that transparent glass can conduct up to 90% of sunlight heat, which is 4.5 times more than walls. Therefore, when selecting the cooling capacity of the unit, attention should be paid to the structure of the building.

f. Indoor heat source:
The indoor heat source of the business premises mainly comes from the human body. When calculating the air conditioning capacity, it is necessary to take into account the number of employees or guests and the indoor area. The more people there are, the more heat is naturally generated. Electrical appliances are another source of indoor heat, including electric lights, copiers, computers, etc. There are differences in the demand for air conditioning in various places. For example, Korean restaurants and hot pot restaurants naturally generate more indoor heat than Western restaurants, and sewing machines in clothing factories generate less heat than machines in toy factories.
2、 Examples of typical industry venue schemes
Light commercial central air conditioning solution for restaurants:
Small restaurants with limited space can use low-pressure pipeline units to achieve cost-effective results.
High end restaurants can use embedded air conditioning units to reflect the overall elegance and generosity of the environment.
Restaurants with open spaces and many private rooms should choose different air conditioners, which can be referred to in the selection plan of entertainment venues.
Convenience Store Light Commercial Central Air Conditioning Solution:
Convenience stores have limited space, and the use of low static pressure duct units and embedded air conditioning units can effectively meet the air conditioning requirements of such places. Moreover, the air conditioner is suspended at the top of the space and will not occupy any business space.
Light commercial central air conditioning scheme for entertainment venues:
It is recommended to use high static pressure air duct units in spacious entertainment venues to achieve uniform air supply and rapid cooling. Places with more private rooms can use air-cooled heat pump units to facilitate individual control of each room.
Light commercial central air conditioning solution for car exhibition hall:
Car exhibition halls can usually be divided into display areas and office areas. High static pressure pipeline units can be used for the display area, while air-cooled heat pump units can be used for the office area to meet the different air conditioning requirements of the two areas.
Small office building light commercial central air conditioning solution:
It is recommended to use air-cooled heat pump units for hierarchical control or zoning control.
Factory light commercial central air conditioning solution:
Due to its high price performance ratio, water-cooled cabinet machines are the best choice for factories to choose air conditioning.
