Domestic air conditioning is creeping its way into the UK and there is a marked increase in the purchase of all types of air conditioning and with global warming in the forefront of the news on a regular basis, it is very clear to all that our planet is heating up.
With temperatures on the rise, even in the UK and with summers getting hotter and longer, we are definitely approaching a climate of extremes. Cold winters and hot summers and, despite the UK's reputation for cold weather, air conditioning seems to be becoming increasingly popular in the UK thus making it a great investment.
We live in an increasingly technological world and the demand for domestic air conditioning is already very high in places like Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong, which are the most densely populated areas in the world and where the most common forms of accommodation are high-rise flats and similar buildings. No matter what type of house or apartment UK residents enjoy these buildings are starting to resemble the buildings in hotter parts of the world.
The future for people all over the planet is the reduction of carbon dioxide and if governments are to be supported in meeting targets for CO2 reduction we need to address heating and cooling in a responsible manner.
Heat pump technology is already well known in the air conditioning market and is integral to any plan to reduce harmful gasses into the atmosphere. This is possible by transferring heat energy from one environment to another, and in cooling mode, air conditioning works by using a refrigerant gas in an enclosed system. This technology transfers the heat absorbed by the gas in the enclosed area, for example a room, to the outside air, this will result in the cooling of the area in question. Furthermore at the push of a button the system can be reversed extracting heat from the outside air and bringing it indoors allowing rooms to be heated.
Heat pump technology is very flexible. It simply means that the system can be run in reverse, for example when the system is run in heating mode, the refrigerant flows the opposite way absorbing free heat from the outdoor unit and transfers it to the indoor unit where it is dispersed into the room, and of course providing efficient heating to the room, and when the system is run in air conditioning mode the refrigerant flows through the indoor unit absorbing the heat in the room, which is then carried to the outdoor unit where it is dispersed into the surrounding air, and hey, what do you know, the room is now air conditioned.
A spokesman for Climachill air conditioning specialists said "we only install air conditioning units which have this heat pump technology and we also offer portable air conditioning units, with a top quality Hitachi compressor which maximizes output yet minimizes noise, and in our opinion they are the best portable air conditioners on the market". He went on to say "there is certainly a marked increased in the demand for either installed air conditioning units, or a portable air conditioner, with the self evaporative water recycling' the latest technological breakthrough for portables, and of course all air conditioners can be used in heating or cooling mode making them energy efficient".
