Rooftop Packaged Units

Rooftop Packaged air conditioners are designed and manufactured to meet the all-in-one solutions for large halls, warehouses, supermarkets, shopping centers, stations & airports etc.

Optimal temperature & humidity, air purification & proper ventilation are essential factors to ensure occupancy of these areas for both users & operators, regardless of external conditions. Fresh air is even more crucial for commercial catering to control odours & vapours.

Also in technical facilities ventilation & air-conditioning are often essential for the correct operation of the equipment they contain.

Despite there apparently low cost Split system & Multisplit direct expansion systems have lot of limitations in this application. For example they require a separate system for the treatment of the primary air. The pipes that contains the refrigerant cross the served rooms and therefore they are subjected to restrictions & have limitations. Many Rooftop unit present in the market offer evident simplification of the system.

Main features of rooftop units:

  1. Compactness: Evaporator, Blower , Compressor , condenser units & all interconnecting refrigerant piping & accessories are housed in single cabinet.
  2. Hassle-free installation: User has to connect only power supply cabling & Supply & return air ducting to the given outlet.
  3. Easy Accessibility : Can be easily mounted & installed on roof/terrace/open space, easy to access for service & maintenance purpose.
  4. Portable: Easy to dismantle & reinstall at new location.
  5. All in One Functionality: Temperature & humidity control, ventilation , fresh air provision all functions can be achieved by single system.
  6. Save Indoor Space: Suitable for areas where there is limited space inside the room/area to be cooled.
  7. High Efficiency: Since the refrigerant circuits & all component assembly is done in the factory itself, the machine is highly efficient.
  8. High Airflow & Static Pressure: Larger fans with high external static pressure are used in high capacity packaged system, as there is no space & noise restrictions because of the versatility of outdoor & rooftop installation.
  9. Silent indoor : Since all the components are mounted outside the room , there is no noise issue that will give you comfort & peaceful indoor environment.
  10. Multiple function: Some units are equipped with heat pump technology which is able to provide cooling in summer & heating in winter conditions. Some units also have options for thermodynamic heat recovery from exhaust air which saves lot of energy.

Modern Rooftop AC units:

Modern rooftop packaged units comes with plenty of customization option which makes it very versatile product in air-conditioner & ventilation segment.

  • Fresh Air Intake : For applications where you need to keep the room in over-pressure, with the option of controlling a particular fresh air flow. The supply fan section provides the supply and return available static pressure.
  • Energy recovery: The unit is equipped with an exhaust section with thermodynamic energy recovery of the exhaust air. This air, which is still rich in energy, is mixed with the outdoor air improving the heating and cooling capacity.
  • High efficiency Air Filtration: Customization can be done with use of high efficiency filter options available in the market such as High efficiency F class Filters, Electronic Filters, UV Filters, Hepa filters etc.
  • Humidification & Dehumidification: For application where humidity level has to be maintained, a Humidifier & dehumidifiers can be installed in supply air path. Electric heater, gas burners hot water coil for pre heat & reheat function can be selected.
  • Anticorrosion Treatment: The rooftop package air conditioners with special anti-corrosion treatment are suitable for seaside areas or the areas exposed to acidic substances. Special anti-corrosion treatment of heat exchanger provides 5 to 6 times greater resistance against acid rain and salt corrosion.
  • Multiple Air flow directions: User can select supply & return duct inlet/outlet from either side of the unit as per the convenience of installation which makes this unit super feasible.

How Rooftop Units Works:

  • The Compressor, condenser, refrigerant piping, EXV & evaporator cooling coil housed in single cabinet will function same as the general vapor compression refrigeration cycle.
  • The Return air from the space will mixed with fresh outside air in mixing chamber & then it will be filtered, cooled or heated, dehumidified or humidified in evaporator chamber of the unit.
  • This processed cooled/heated air then pushed by evaporator fan towards space to be treated by means of ducting connected at the supply air outlet of the unit. The return air from the space then brought back to the unit via return air ducts & cycle continues.
