Traditional rooftop air conditioning units in the market face significant challenges like fixed air supply/return patterns and poor adaptability, failing to meet diverse user needs. This product, by virtue of design innovation and technology integration, provides a better solution for users.
The rooftop air conditioning unit features two air supply/return modes: ‘side supply/side return’ and ‘down supply/down return’. In this way, it can adapt to various environments and layouts while significantly improving installation flexibility. Moreover, the indoor-side centrifugal fan is positioned at an angle, complemented by a diffusion-enhanced high-efficiency volute, greatly enhancing aerodynamic efficiency, keeping airflow fluctuation within ±4% under multi-directional supply modes.
The product of a simple yet elegant style can seamlessly blend into any environments. With a compact design and an optimized internal layout, it reduces the overall size by 15% compared to its counterparts; the boxy silhouette facilitates convenient transportation and installation by allowing electric forklift access from all four sides, effectively increasing efficiency and reducing costs.
Airflow volume control is a key indicator of performance. This product supports adaptive static pressure (0-200 Pa) for air supply, automatically adjusting to different air duct lengths to control airflow volume deviation within 3%. This addresses airflow volume decay and instability common in traditional rooftop air conditioning units. At the same time, temperature fluctuation is controlled within ±0.5°C, creating a consistently comfortable environment for users. In addition, the unit is equipped with a refrigerant leak detector, which triggers an immediate alert upon detecting abnormalities, ensuring operational safety and user protection.
