Floor Fan Coil Unit

Floor fan coil units or standing fan coil units are one of the common types of fan coil units used in residential complexes and large construction projects. Stay with us and learn more about the technical specifications, types, prices, capacities, and how to choose different types of floor-standing fan coils.

Standing Fan Coil Unit Experts' Buying Guide and Price List

Standing fan coil units are considered one of the most common types of fan coils, which have maintained their popularity among people due to their numerous advantages. These devices are an ideal option for homes, office spaces, stores, hotels, schools, and areas where the installation of ceiling, concealed, or cassette fan coil units is not possible.

The standing fan coil unit is a suitable choice for environments that require efficient air conditioning without the need for major changes to the building's structure due to its easy installation, cost-effectiveness, low energy consumption, wide variety, easy maintenance, and independent operation in temperature control.

Additionally, for places without a false ceiling or where the aesthetics of the decor are not a top priority, standing fan coil units are considered a practical option.

Floor fan coils are produced and offered in models such as front-blowing, top-blowing, sloped, and pedestal types, with airflow capacities ranging from 200 to 1200 cubic feet per minute (CFM), which we will describe further.

Standing Fan Coil Unit Components and Operation

Just like other types of fan coil units, standing FCUs are a heat exchange device that transfers temperature from water to air.

They consist of a coil (heat exchanger), a blower fan, an air filter, and a thermostat. Their supply line can be connected to chiller systems (for cooling) and hot water boiler systems (for heating).

The operation of the standing fan coil units is as follows:

1. Cold or hot water from the chiller or boiler enters the coil through the piping system.
2. The internal fan then draws in the surrounding air through the filter and passes it over the coil, resulting in a decrease or increase in air temperature.
3. The conditioned air is then delivered to the room through the outlet vents, and the user can adjust the room temperature using the thermostat or manual control, as well as set the fan to different speeds.
   
   

Standing Fan Coil Unit Features

Standing fan coil units come with many features, including:

• Comfortable and uniform cooling and heating
• Low noise and quiet
• High static pressure
• Easy installation
• Easy repair and service due to the device being on the surface
• Easy filter replacement
• Possibility of independent and separate temperature control
  
  

Different Types of Fan Coil Units in Terms of Airflow Direction

Standing fan coils can be categorized into 3 types in terms of the airflow direction:

1. Standing Fan Coil Units with Upward Airflow

In this type, the outlet air is directed towards the ceiling from the top of the unit and then distributed in the environment, which results in uniform distribution of cold and hot air and prevents the accumulation of cold air on the floor of the room.

Upward-airflow standing fan coil units are suitable for spaces with low heights, auditoriums, banks, and office buildings.

2. Standing Fan Coil Units with Front Airflow

This device directs the airflow directly from the front of the fan coil towards the space, which leads to faster distribution of conditioned air but may have lower efficiency in large spaces.

Frontal standing fan coils are usually more suitable for homes, offices, shops, and small commercial spaces.

3. Standing Fan Coil Units with Inclined Airflow

In this type of standing fan coil, the outlet air is directed upwards and forwards at an angle, and its special design prevents direct contact of cold or hot air with people.

The use of inclined floor-mounted fan coils is generally more suitable for classrooms, conference halls, and hospitals.

Different Types of Fan Coil Units in Terms of Installation Location

Standing fan coils can be categorized into 2 types in terms of the installation location:

1. Vertical / Surface-Mounted Standing FCU

This is the most common type of standing fan coil, which is installed upright on the floor or the lowest part of the wall and is usually produced and supplied in capacities of 200 to 1200 CFM.

Surface-mounted and vertical standing fan coil units are suitable for residential homes, offices, shops, and spaces where ceiling or wall installation of fan coils is not possible.

This model is very popular due to its easy installation, lower cost, and easy maintenance. However, due to its space occupancy, it may create limitations in small environments.

2. Ceiling-Floor Standing FCU

The ceiling-floor fan coil units can be installed both horizontally on the ceiling or vertically on the floor.

This flexibility of the ceiling-floor fan coil units allows the user to install it on the ceiling to save floor space or on the floor for easier installation and access to the device, depending on the needs and conditions of the space.

This type of fan coil unit is suitable for use in the following places:

1. Commercial and office buildings may need changes in decoration or ventilation methods over time.
2. Hotels and guesthouses that sometimes need to install ventilation devices in spaces with installation limitations.
3. Residential spaces and small apartments that cannot use traditional ceiling or floor models due to space limitations.
4. Buildings with high ceilings where ceiling installation may be a better option.
   
   

Different Types of Fan Coil Units in Terms of Height

Standing fan coil units can be categorized into 2 types in terms of the height of the device:

1. Regular Standing Fan Coil Unit

This type of standing fan coil unit has a standard and higher height than short models, which also has higher air flow capacity and wider coverage.

Places that do not face height limitations can purchase and install this type of standing fan coil unit.

2. Short Standing Fan Coil Unit

This type of standing FCU has a lower height and more compact dimensions than regular models and is used for spaces that have height limitations at the installation location (such as under windows or short walls).

You can find a vast selection of short height standing fan coil units on the Saran FCU and Saravel FCU pages...

Different Types of Fan Coil Units in Terms of Design

Standing fan coils can be categorized into 2 types in terms of design:

1. Decorative Fan Coil Unit

In the design of decorative floor fan coil units, in addition to the air conditioning function, attention has also been paid to the interior design of the space.

This model is a suitable choice for environments where the beauty of the decoration is important due to its special and stylish design.

In this type of standing fan coil unit, the appearance of the device is designed in such a way that it can easily be coordinated with different decoration styles (modern, classic, luxurious).

2. Standing Fan Coil Unit with Legs / Bases

Floor fan coil units with legs are specially designed for installation on the floor and have legs that lift the device from the floor level.

These legs are usually made of durable metal or plastic and protect the device from direct contact with the ground and moisture.

Floor fan coil units with legs or bases are typically used in spaces where it is not possible to drill holes in the wall.

Standing Fan Coil Unit Capacity Determination

One of the most important considerations when selecting and purchasing a floor-standing fan coil unit is determining its capacity based on the area size of the intended space.

To facilitate this important process, a table has been prepared and provided for the approximate fan coil capacities for floor-standing units, based on climatic and weather conditions in cities such as Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, Shiraz, Semnan, Rasht, Sari, Sulaymaniyah, Kermanshah, Erbil, Kirkuk, and more.

Buying Floor Standing Fan Coil Units
