High-end Luxury Air Conditioning



Increasingly larger newly constructed homes teamed with recent advances in cooling technology are making natural gas a practical option for air conditioning.
Although popular during the 1960s, natural gas air conditioning fell out of favor until recently due to lower efficiencies and higher purchase costs. Since that time, conventional electric air conditioning gained in popularity but did not offer acceptable solutions to the need for zoned cooling in larger, high-end homes.

As reported in the ASHRAE Journal, the average new home size has grown to more than 2,000 sq.ft. Increasingly larger newly constructed homes teamed with recent advances in cooling technology are making natural gas a practical option for air conditioning. As reported in the ASHRAE Journal, the average new home size has grown to more than 2,000 sq.ft. and more than 10% of all new single-family detached homes built today are more than 4,000 sq.ft. According to ASHRAE, the installation of traditional electric air conditioning units in such large homes results in uneven temperature distribution or requires multiple, expensive and complex zones with two or more (often noisy) cooling units. Additionally, as electricity costs increase, the efficiency and economy of natural gas becomes an attractive solution to the high cost of comfort cooling.



Over the last decade, advances in natural gas cooling technology has made large chiller units available to business and industry, allowing them to take advantage of the efficiency, economy, reliability and superior performance of natural gas. Now, this same technology has been applied to small packaged units in sizes suitable for residential homes.


High-end Residential Zones AC Units

Residential air conditioners are small, direct-fired absorption chillers. An absorption chiller uses a refrigerant, absorbent and heat to create a cooling effect. Simply put, the cooling effect is accomplished with the removal of heat through evaporation of a fluid (refrigerant) at low pressure and the rejection of heat through the condensation of a fluid (refrigerant) at a higher pressure.
