Surface cooling for energy-efficient construction projects: Complete solution with aquatherm black

With the onset of summer and rising temperatures, efficient and sustainable air conditioning has become essential for all types of buildings, from offices to homes. At aquatherm, we offer an innovative solution in surface cooling with our aquatherm black, which not only creates a comfortable indoor climate but also optimises energy consumption.

 

How does surface cooling work with aquatherm black?

aquatherm black, as a surface cooling system, works by circulating chilled water through polypropylene pipes installed in the ceiling, walls, or floor of buildings. The system provides natural, uniform cooling throughout the space. Not only does aquatherm black enhance thermal comfort, but it also boosts energy efficiency by reducing energy consumption compared to conventional air conditioning systems.


 

Advantages over conventional air conditioners:

 

  1. Excellent energy efficiency: Surface cooling uses low-temperature systems that reduce energy consumption compared to traditional air conditioners, which rely on compressors and consume significant amounts of electricity.

  2. Uniform temperature distribution: Unlike air conditioners, which can create hot or cold zones, surface cooling ensures a consistent temperature throughout the room, enhancing comfort.

  3. Lower humidity and less noise: Surface cooling systems operate quietly and eliminate the moisture issues common with air conditioners, improving air quality and creating a healthier environment.

  4. Visually inconspicuous: Unlike air conditioners, which require a lot of space on walls or windows, surface cooling systems have no visible components, preserving the aesthetics of the room without visual disruption.

 

Types of surface cooling

There are different types of surface cooling for different needs and spaces:

  1. Ceiling surface cooling: In this type, the ceiling is used to distribute the cold. This is especially beneficial in rooms with high ceilings. The cold is evenly emitted via the aquatherm black surface cooling system, helping maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the day - without the noise or visual limitations of traditional systems.

  2. Floor surface cooling: In this system, the aquatherm cooling coils are installed in the floor, distributing the cold evenly across the entire surface. This creates a consistent, comfortable temperature without the need for air conditioning.

  3. Wall surface cooling: Similar to the installation under the floor, aquatherm black is installed in the walls to ensure efficient and quiet cooling. It is ideal for rooms where floor cooling cannot be installed, such as in buildings with low ceilings or in a certain building architecture.

 

Surface cooling applications

aquatherm black is ideal for a wide range of projects, from residential buildings to commercial and office buildings. Thanks to its versatility and the ability to integrate the piping system with other HVAC solutions, it is perfect for sustainable construction projects with high energy efficiency standards.

Below are some application examples for aquatherm black as a surface cooling system:

 

Inference

Surface cooling with aquatherm black is an excellent choice for planners, installers, and architects looking for a high-performance, durable, and environmentally friendly cooling system. With the support of aquatherm and our tailored solutions, we can ensure that your projects meet the highest standards for energy efficiency and comfort.
