Dawn of a new fan coil era
Published:  10 January, 2005

Following extensive field research,Ability Projects has introduced an upgraded version of its dedicated hotel fan coil system.

The new model,the Aurora II,is based on the use of a chassis type fan coil unit designed to suit standard modern hotel conditions concerning space, noise and usage.

As the average hotel guest has very individual temperature requirements,the full operational capabilities of four-pipe fan coil systems can be considered redundant.The Aurora II system overcomes this problem through the use of a control integrated,two-pipe changeover fan coil unit,fitted with electric heating and supplied with chilled or LPHW, via a heat pump chiller.

A heat sensor guages the water temperature and controls the unit’s flow valve in order to activate heating or cooling cycles.Operation of the unit is regulated by a wall mounted Siemens LCD room temperature controller,which adjusts room temperatures and switches the electric heater and three-speed fan throughout normal,energy saving and standby operating modes.

The fan coil unit measures just 755mm long,by 516mm wide and 235mm deep. Capacities are up to the generally required 1.5kW cooling,with operating noise levels of NR30 during the day and NR25 over night.
