The installation process of fan coil units: from design to system commissioning

Installation and piping of fan coils in a chiller-fan coil system is a multi-stage process that requires accurate calculations, professional installation and commissioning. ABL Engineering Group carries out all work with its own installation teams, ensuring quality control at every stage.

The full installation cycle includes five key stages:

  1. Design and power calculation. Our engineers calculate the system parameters taking into account the climatic conditions of the facility, the required power (kW) and the type of room. At the design stage, the optimal technical solution is determined: the choice between cassette, duct (hidden installation), floor-ceiling or other types of fan coils.
  2. Preparing the site and laying communications. Preparation includes marking installation sites, laying coolant pipelines, electrical work and connecting the drainage system. All communications are laid in accordance with the design documentation.
  3. Installation of fan coil units and system piping. Installation of internal fan coil units with subsequent piping to the main pipelines of the chiller. At this stage, thermal insulation of pipelines, connection of the drainage system and installation of automatic control are carried out.

How to choose the right type of fan coil: a complete guide ABL Engineering Group

Choosing the type of fan coil is a key design decisionchiller-fan coil systems. Incorrect selection leads to excessive energy consumption, uneven cooling and additional rework costs. ABL Engineering Group will select the optimal solution based on calculating the parameters of your facility, the architecture of the premises and the required power in kW, taking into account all types: cassette, duct, floor-ceiling, wall and column options.

Cassette fan coil units for suspended ceilings

Cassette models are mounted directly into a suspended ceiling and provide uniform distribution of cooled air in four directions. This guy is perfectcassette fan coil unitsin office centers, shopping centers and industrial premises with high ceilings. Installation of a cassette fan coil does not require hidden installation of air ducts – the equipment is integrated into the existing ceiling architecture.

  • Compact size and aesthetic appearance
  • Easy to install in standard suspended ceiling sizes
  • Uniform distribution of cooled coolant through the internal heat exchanger
  • Used on facilities with an area of 500 m² and above

Duct fan coil units with hidden installation

Duct fan coil units are installed in a hidden way inside the ceiling space with air ducts laid throughout the room. This option is chosen when minimal equipment visibility and maximum flexibility in cooled air distribution are required.Hidden installationallows for accurate calculation of power and air supply to each zone of the facility.

  • Completely hidden installation – air ducts are laid in the ceiling
  • Flexible air distribution system through adjustable deflectors
  • High performance with minimal noise
  • Requires professional calculation of parameters of air ducts and sections

Floor-ceiling and wall-mounted fan coil units

Floor-ceiling fan coil units are installed both on the floor and under the ceiling, providing flexibility in the placement of equipment. Wall-mounted models take up minimal space and are suitable for objects with limited ceiling area. Column options provide vertical cooling for open spaces. All types are connected to a singlechiller-fan coil systemthrough pipelines with coolant circulation.

  • Floor-ceiling models provide maximum installation flexibility
  • Wall-mounted fan coil units save space indoors
  • Column options are suitable for open spaces (warehouses, factories)
  • All types work with a single source of cold – a chiller

VRF/VRV cooling systems for multi-zone facilities

VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) and VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) are multi-zone cooling systems where each fan coil operates independently with its own temperature control. The multi-zone system allows you to control the climate in different zones simultaneously. Unlike the traditional chiller-fan coil system, VRF/VRV systems provide high performance and precise control of parameters in each zone of the facility simultaneously.

  • Independent temperature control in each zone
  • High energy efficiency (up to 40% savings)
  • Possibility of simultaneous cooling and heating of different rooms
  • Used at large facilities with varied climate requirements

Comparison of fan coil types: selection table

Fan coil type Installation cost Difficulty of installation Energy efficiency Noise level Flexibility of placement
Cassette Average Low good Low Average
Duct (hidden) High High Excellent Low High
Floor-ceiling Average Average good Medium High
Wall-mounted Average Low good Medium High
VRF/VRV Very high High Excellent (up to 40%) Low Maximum

Objections and difficulties when installing fan coil units: how we solve them

Installation of fan coils in a chiller-fan coil system requires coordination of various works, each of which depends on the previous one. Laying pipelines, electrical work, thermal insulation, drainage system – this is not just a sequence of stages, but interconnected processes that require precise planning. Our team plans every stage of installation to minimize production downtime and meet the technical requirements of the site.

Complexity of hidden installation and laying of communications

Concealed installation of ducted fan coil units is one of the most difficult jobs in a cooling system. Requires piping in ceiling spaces, coordination with ductwork and electrical cables. Each of these elements requires a different approach:

  • Coolant pipelines– copper or steel pipes with insulation, laid taking into account slopes and fastenings
  • Air ducts– must ensure uniform distribution of cooled air throughout the room
  • Electrical cables— separate gasket in compliance with safety standards and distances

ABL Engineering Group uses its own installation teams that have experience at 40+ sites. This allows us to avoid common mistakes during hidden installation and ensure quality work the first time.

Electrical work and thermal insulation: compliance with requirements

Electrical work when installing fan coil units requires compliance with technical standards and safety standards. Thermal insulation of pipelines is not just an additional service, but a critical element that affects the efficiency of the entire chiller-fan coil system.

In accordance with the requirements of industrial facilities, we use:

  • Thermal insulation with a thickness designed for the climatic conditions of the region
  • Electrical connections taking into account the power of the equipment and the manufacturer’s requirements
  • Additional controls and automation for temperature control

Our team of specialists, including Alexander Aleksandrovich Semenok (Production Engineering Engineer) and Lyubov Ivanovna Korzhuk (Production and Technical Operations Manager), ensures full compliance with technical parameters at every stage.

Minimize production downtime during installation

For industrial facilities, production downtime is a direct financial loss. We solve this problem through:

  1. Planning stages of work— every day is scheduled to minimize the impact on the production process
  2. Fast execution— our own installation teams allow us to work in parallel on different areas of the facility
  3. Coordination of deadlines— we work according to your production schedule, often performing installation on weekends or night shifts

Experience at 40+ sites showed us how to organize work so that every day brings results and downtime is minimal.

Drainage system and condensate management

The drainage system is an often forgotten but critical element of fan coil installations. Improper condensate management leads to leaks, corrosion and equipment failure.

During installation we provide:

  • Correct slope of drainage pipes for smooth condensate drainage
  • Installing siphons and traps to prevent backflow of air
  • Thermal insulation of drainage lines in rooms with low ambient temperatures
  • Control the coolant temperature to avoid excessive condensation

The ABL Engineering Group installation warranty includes testing of the drainage system and its functionality during the entire warranty period.
