What are the recommended FCU types for different use cases?

1. Vertical Fan Coil Units (Floor-Mounted)

✅ Best for:

• Apartments, hotels, and residential rooms
• Retrofitting buildings with limited ceiling space
• Offices with underfloor HVAC systems

🔹 Why?

• Easy to install near windows or walls
• Minimal ductwork required
• Can be concealed with decorative cabinets

2. Horizontal Fan Coil Units (Ceiling-Mounted)

✅ Best for:

• Commercial offices, shopping malls, and hospitals
• False ceiling installations (common in modern buildings)
• Spaces where floor space is limited

🔹 Why?

• Discreet installation (hidden above ceilings)
• Better air distribution in large rooms
• Can be connected to ductwork for wider coverage

3. Cassette Fan Coil Units (4-Way or 2-Way Blow)

✅ Best for:

• Retail stores, restaurants, and conference rooms
• Open-plan offices and lobbies
• Spaces needing uniform air distribution

🔹 Why?

• 4-way cassette provides 360° airflow (ideal for large rooms)
• 2-way cassette is more directional (good for corridors)
• Sleek design blends with ceiling tiles

4. High-Static Pressure FCUs (Ducted Units)

✅ Best for:

• Large halls, auditoriums, and industrial spaces
• Buildings requiring long duct runs
• Cleanrooms and labs needing precise airflow control

🔹 Why?

• Handles higher air resistance in duct systems
• Can serve multiple zones with extended ducts

5. Concealed Fan Coil Units (Chassis Only)

✅ Best for:

• Luxury homes, high-end hotels, and hospitals
• Custom-built cabinetry installations

🔹 Why?

• Only the chassis is installed (vents blend into decor)
• Ultra-quiet operation (great for bedrooms)

6. Wall-Mounted FCUs (Like Split ACs but with Water Cooling)

✅ Best for:

• Small offices, server rooms, and residential use
• Buildings without ductwork

🔹 Why?

• Similar to split ACs but more energy-efficient (water-based cooling)
• Easy to install and maintain

Which One Should You Choose?

For luxury/quiet spaces: Concealed FCUs

For homes/apartments: Vertical or wall-mounted FCUs

For offices/hotels: Horizontal or cassette FCUs

For large commercial spaces: High-static ducted FCUs
