1) APOLLO Floor Fan Coil Unit (FFCU)
The APOLLO FFCU has been designed for optimal performance while maintaining a sleek profile. Here are its key features:
- Ultra-Thin Design: The APOLLO FFCU boasts a slim form factor, measuring only 18 cm thick. This makes it ideal for spaces where aesthetics matter, ensuring it seamlessly integrates into any room.
- Quiet Operation: The FFCU operates silently, minimizing disturbances in your home environment. Whether you’re working, relaxing, or sleeping, the quiet performance ensures comfort without noise disruptions.
- Easy Installation: Installing the APOLLO FFCU is straightforward. It requires only two pipe connections, simplifying the setup process for homeowners and installers alike.
- DC High-Efficiency Fan Motor: The energy-efficient fan motor ensures effective air circulation. It efficiently distributes warm or cool air throughout the room, maintaining a comfortable temperature.
- Control Options: The speed control is achieved using the 120VAC FCU Thermostat which control voltage is 0-10VDC for fan speed adjustments. Thus users can customize the airflow based on their preferences.
2) APOLLO Wall-Mounted Fan Coil Unit (WFCU)
The APOLLO WFCU offers a different installation approach, catering to specific needs. Here are its notable features:
- Space-Saving Solution: Wall-mounted units save valuable floor space. By attaching the WFCU to the wall, homeowners maximize usable areas while enjoying efficient heating and cooling.
- Simple Installation: Mounting the WFCU is straightforward. Typically, it requires only two pipe connections, reducing installation complexity and time.
- Efficient Cooling and Heating: The WFCU excels at both cooling and heating. It provides year-round comfort, maintaining the desired temperature regardless of the season.
- Fan Speed Control: Similar to the FFCU, the WFCU features fan speed control. Users can adjust the airflow intensity to suit their preferences and room requirements.
Which is Better?
Choosing between a floor-mounted (FFCU) and a wall-mounted (WFCU) FCU depends on specific factors:
- Floor FCU (FFCU):
Best For: Larger rooms or open spaces where aesthetics are important.
Benefits: Quieter operation, easy installation with minimal pipe connections, and effective for spacious areas.
Room Size Indications: Larger than 1600 sq ft
FFCU: Ideal for larger rooms (e.g., living rooms, open-plan spaces) where the unit's slim profile and quiet operation enhance the environment.
- Wall-Mounted FCU (WFCU):
Best For: Smaller rooms or areas with limited floor space.
Benefits: Saves floor space, simple installation with a single pipe connection
Room Size Indications: Up to 1600 sq ft
WFCU: Suitable for smaller rooms (e.g., bedrooms, small offices) where floor space is at a premium and wall space can be utilized effectively.
CONCLUSION:
Ultimately, the choice between a floor-mounted and a wall-mounted FCU depends on your available space, decoration preferences, and specific temperature requirements.
Both options offer reliable performance and contribute to a comfortable living environment.
Evaluate your room size, space availability, and aesthetic preferences to choose the FCU that best fit for your home.
