Investigating factors affecting fan coil unit prices

The fan coil unit is one of the most widely used equipment in building air conditioning systems, which is used to provide cooling and heating in residential, office, commercial units, hospitals, hotels, sports halls, etc. Fan coils are manufactured and supplied in different types and capacities, depending on the type of use and the needs of the project, and they also have different prices. Therefore, by obtaining information and a more complete understanding of the characteristics and types of fan coils, we can make a suitable and economical choice; for this reason, in this article, we intend to examine the factors that affect the price of fan coils; please stay with us.

Many factors affect the price of fan coils, but the most important ones are those that we will discuss in the following article:

The type of fan coil unit and how it affects the price of the fan coil unit

There are different types and models of fan coils, which differ in terms of location, installation and design, and therefore in price. Fan coils are selected according to the needs and facilities of the project and are generally named according to their installation location, which are as follows:

• Floor fan coil unit: This type of fan coil is placed on the floor.
• Ceiling fan coil unit(recessed and surface mounted): The recessed ceiling fan coil unit is installed inside the suspended ceiling, giving a beautiful look to the interior decoration; however, the ceiling fan coil unit is installed visibly under the ceiling according to the customer's taste or existing location.
• Ducted fan coil unit: Ducted fan coils are ceiling-mounted fan coils that require ducting and piping. These fan coils are mostly used in larger rooms and corridors due to their high volume.
• Wall-mounted fan coil units: This type of fan coil is installed on the wall.
• Cassette fan coil units (one-way, two-way and four-way): Cassette fan coils have two internal and visible parts, the internal part being installed in the false ceiling. These fan coils are divided into one-way, two-way and four-way types in terms of the number of air outlets, which are selected according to the needs of the project.

Two-pipe or four-pipe coils

Two-pipe or four-pipe fan coils are one of the factors that affect the final price of the fan coil unit; Two-pipe fan coils have one flow pipe and one return pipe for the flow of cold or hot water, which are connected to the piping of the cooling and heating system of the central machine room (or gas-fired wall package) to be used for cooling or heating the environment.

If four-tube fan coils have two supply tubes and two return tubes; in this way, during the seasons when one part of the building may require cooling and another part may require ambient heating, they can use the simultaneous cooling and heating capability in different spaces of the building, such as rooms facing the sun or rooms facing the sun. Therefore, such an advantage increases the price of four-tube fan coils compared to two-tube fan coils.

Capacity and dimensions of fan coil units and how they affect the price of fan coil units

One of the most important factors influencing the price of fan coils is their capacity, which is usually directly related to the dimensions of the unit. The capacity of the fan coil indicates the volume of ventilation and the cooling or heating capacity of the unit, expressed in CFM or cubic feet per minute.

The capacity of the fan coil depends on many parameters, the most important of which are the cooling and heating load and the size of the desired space; such a way that the larger the area of the desired space, the fan coil with a larger capacity should be selected; thus, a device with a higher cooling and heating capacity should be considered, in which case the price of the fan coil will also increase.

For more information, there are many articles on the calculation of fan coil capacity on the DamaTajhiz HVAC website. For a more precise calculation of the fan coil capacity, you can contact the installation experts or air conditioning engineers of the DamaTajhiz HVAC Group for advice.

The effect of the fan coil brand on its price

Many companies manufacture and supply all types of fan coil units. Each brand of fan coil unit has different manufacturing qualities and components, which naturally affects their price.

Among the best Iranian and foreign brands of fan coil units, we can mention Green fan coil units, Media, DamaTajhiz, Saran, Tahvieh, Saravel, etc., each of which has different qualities and this causes a difference in their prices. For more complete information, you can refer to an article on this topic entitled The best Iranian and foreign brands of fan coil units available on the DamaTajhiz HVAC blog site or contact our experts for advice.

The effect of the noise level of the fan coil on its price

In places such as hotels and residences, where silence and peace are more important, it is necessary to pay attention to the sound level of the fan coil units. Generally, ceiling-mounted fan coils have a lower noise level than other types of fan coils; however, with the advancement of technology, it is possible to reduce the noise produced by using low-noise parts such as the use of fans and low-noise motors, the use of silencers and insulation, and the integrated construction of the fan coil body, which affects the cost of the fan coil. It is an effective solution.

The effect of the components and parts of the fan coil on its price

A fan coil unit consists of various components and parts, such as the fan, coil, motor, housing, filter, thermostat, pan, etc., and the quality and material of each one separately affect the final price of the fan coil. The main components of a fan coil are as follows

• The coil: Coils containing cold or hot water are one of the main components of fan coil units, providing cooling and heating within them. These tubes are usually made of copper and the price difference is due to the thickness, diameter and type of fins on the coil.
• Fan: One of the main components of fan coils is the blower fan, which is responsible for moving cold or hot air from the surface of the coils to the desired space. The blower fan is used in fan coils made of plastic (ABS) and metal (galvanised) materials, where the plastic type has a lower price than metal, but thermal resistance and non-deformation, and the life of a metal fan is longer than plastic. If you live in a cold area with long winters, a galvanised fan, which does not deform from the heat of the coil, is more suitable than an ABS fan.
• Electric motor: The motor or electric motor in fan coils is responsible for changing and adjusting the speed of the fan and therefore the amount of cool or hot air coming out of the unit. The quality of the fan coil motor determines the performance of the unit and its capacity, and it has a great impact on the life of the unit. It therefore plays an effective role in the price of the fan coil. The type of electric motor and its shaft also have a direct impact on the amount of noise produced by the fan coil, which also affects the cost of the unit.
• Casing: One of the factors influencing the price of a fan coil is the material of the body or cabinet, which contains other components of the unit such as the fan, motor, coils, etc. The body of the fan coil is made of galvanised sheet metal with a stove enamel coating, and its quality directly affects the final price of the unit. Among the things that affect the quality of the body of the fan coil and its price, we can mention the resistance of the body to cold and heat, humidity and corrosion; also the thickness of the sheet and the level of resistance of the body of the device to impact and its integrity to prevent noise are factors that make a difference in the price of the fan coil.

The impact of the after-sales service on the price of the fan coil unit

Warranty and proper after-sales service of the fan coils give peace of mind in the purchase; because with a warranty and proper after-sales service, you can be sure to buy the fan coils needed for the project and not worry about the possible failure of any part of the device, because the problem will be solved by the warranty company. Although the warranty and proper after-sales service will increase the final price of the fan coil, you will finally be buying the fan coil with guaranteed quality.
