Pancol Mounting Arrangement
The choice of mounting depends obviously upon the space available for fitment on panel. We offer air conditioners in side mounting, top mounting and stand alone type to suit any type of panel. Side Mounted Control panels where there is an unrestricted flow of air from one end to other end this type is preferred, so as to ensure uniform cooling of panel. These panels are mounted either on the doors or sidewalls of control panels.
Stand Alone Type The use of side mounted or top mounted panels is not suitable in some cases like for cooling of partitioned panels, where this arrangement is preferred. Top Mounted This type is preferred when side mounting or stand-alone type is not suitable. This Panel AC is mounted on roof of the control panel.
Advantages of Pancol Over Standard Room Air Conditioners
High SHF : For panels, due to no occupancy and no positive fresh air Intake, the latent heat component is almost negligible, resulting in nearly unity sensible heat factor. Thus the dehumidified air quantity required will be much higher than that available in a room air conditioner of equivalent capacity.
Bigger Evaporator Coil and Evaporator Fan : To remove the high sensible heat load effectively, both the evaporator fan and evaporator coil need to be substantially oversized compared to room air conditioners. This increases the first cost of panel air conditioners compared to room air conditioners.
High Energy Efficiency Ratio : Due to bigger evaporator coils, panel ACs operate at much higher suction temperature ( approx. 6 to 7oC than room ACs ) Thus EER is improved. Generally energy saving due to Panel ACs is about 25%
Reliability : High priority is assigned during design and testing of Panel ACs to achieve a higher MTBF ( Mean Time between Failures )
Continuous Duty operation : Standard room ACs is designed to run 8 to 10 hours a day whereas Panel AC is designed for continuous duty operation round the clock, round the year.
