What Is Standing Air Conditioner?
Floor Standing Air Conditioners are air conditioners that are installed on or near the floor or recessed in spots like unused fireplaces. Floor standing air conditioners are easy to access and maintain and are popular in homes with little wall space or high ceilings.
A floor standing air conditioner is similar to a wall-mounted split air conditioner in many ways. The primary difference between the two is that the floor standing air conditioner is mounted close to the floor or stands on the floor itself. There are even instances where floor standing air conditioners are placed on recessed floors.
Despite their small size, floor air conditioners function like typical wall-mounted air conditioning systems. They are equipped with technologies found in traditional designs, including a compressor, filtration unit, refrigerant, and turbofan.
How Does a Floor Standing Air Conditioner Work?
Like a split system unit, floor mounted AC has a filtration unit for removing the dust particles, turbofan, refrigerant and compressor for cooling & heating. They have vents in the top or bottom or both sides for the cold air to be produced in the unit. Some units have auto-swing louvres to adjust the direction of the cooling. The auto swing feature ensures that the cold air is distributed evenly in all areas of the room.
To generate cool air, a refrigerant is circulated through the unit, creating a cycle of evaporation and condensation as the refrigerant changes from liquid to gas. During evaporation, the refrigerant absorbs heat; after condensation, the heat is released. As with all other air conditioners, there is a separate working unit for both taking heat and returning it, and they are connected by tubes with refrigerant.
How Much Electricity Does A Standing AC Use?
Conclusion. While air conditioners are fairly energy-intensive, their exact energy usage depends on several factors. Generally speaking, however, you can expect a central air conditioner to use between 3000 and 3500 watts per hour.
Pros of a Floor Standing Air Conditioner:
The key benefits of floor standing air conditioners are:
- Space saving – Not all homes have enough wall space to dedicate to a large wall mounted air conditioning unit. Using lower wall space and recessed areas like unused fireplaces, you can keep your limited wall space for decorations.
- Versatility – No matter what time of the year it is, your floor standing air conditioner will earn its place. Using temperature detection technology, not only can the unit be used to heat in winter and cool in summer, but it can detect what your home needs and provide it automatically.
- Affordability – Floor mounted air conditioners are much more affordable than other cooling systems on the market like ducted air conditioners. If you are on a budget, a floor mounted air conditioner will keep you cool on a budget.
- Low profile design – The low profile design of floor mounted air conditioners make them a much more visually appealing choice for home climate control compared to bulky units mounted to walls. These units are small, thin and easy to clean around.
