FAN COIL UNITS
A fan coil system can be used in many building types including hotels, multi-family residential, schools and office blocks.
“Having a pre-assembled kit for terminal units, which is compact and composed of all devices needed for its operation, can help ease installation for installers.”
and easy installation, with the high-quality standard of Caleffi products also incorporated in the componentry in this kit. Energy efficiency is ensured with this unit as the pre-formed insulation, made of rigid EPP material, prevents condensation issues, whilst also complying with fire regulations. The dynamic balancing of the system is ensured by the Caleffi diaphragm-type PICV 145 series, which can be equipped with an ON/OFF or a modulating 0-10 V actuator. The inner dynamic element can easily be replaced to ensure long life to the whole assembly. Caleffi PICV features equal percentage control and full stroke modulation. Furthermore, a unique plus is that the valve does not drop authority, even at settings other than the 100% open position,
thanks to its special internal configuration. Two three-way valves allow easy periodic flushing of the system, and an integrated
cartridge strainer will protect the terminal unit, to ensure maximum performance. Such valves can also be used for bypass or isolation of the unit. A calibrated Venturi flow measurement device allows for an easy and precise commissioning phase, thanks also to the user- friendly settings of the Caleffi PICV 145 series. The multiple-size connections (1/2in, 3/4in, 1in, 1¼in) and the huge available range of PICV make the Caleffi 149 series suitable for all systems. Flexible hoses can be added to increase universal installation options. Levers and ports are installed on the side of the kit to make it symmetrical for
universal installation (the kit can be reversed, so it always matches the pipe configuration of the unit). A step in the right direction With fan coil units representing a step towards energy efficiency, it is of great importance for their installation, maintenance and commissioning to be made as easy as possible for installers. Caleffi developed the 149 Series to make life easier for installers, while maintaining its top-quality standards that are recognised the world over.
