The Good Thing About Having PTAC In Hotels PTAC units, also known as package terminal air conditioners are usually found in hotel rooms to regulate the temperature. This keep the rooms cooler during the warm months and allows visitors to adjust the AC temperature very easily. The hospitality industry is all about providing a more comfortable stay to their guests and a PTAC unit helps them do that conveniently. The units are built to withstand harsh outdoor environmental conditions, and more newer models are designed with energy efficiency in mind. In each room, it would be standard to find in each room at five star hotels an adjustable AC unit as they are known for their deluxe accommodations. Even less expensive hotels should incorporate them for the sake of enhancing customer satisfaction. If your rooms already contain them, then be sure to perform periodic inspections to ensure they are functioning properly. Models that need to be repaired or replaced may not deliver sufficient cooling or may discharge a loud noise. Among the top guests issues actually would be these particular concerns. Take the following information and facts into consideration when trying to replace the current units with something new. Heat Options Air conditioners typically come in two heating varieties: electric heat and heat pump. To warm the air, the heat is created and a fan is used to emit the air into the environment. Heat pump units use a reverse cooling cycle to transform cooler air into heat. Most units will use one or the other method to take the air and heat it up to the right temperature. BTU Power HVAC systems come in various degrees of power, that's measured in British Thermal Units (BTU). While it produces a higher output, it's not always the best option to go with the one that has greater BTUs. The size of the area will normally establish what BTUs are needed. For instance, in a huge room you will need a unit with higher BTUs otherwise it will work a lot harder to achieve the desired temps and would increase the amount of energy needed to run as well as wear out prematurely from working so hard continuously. Alternatively, those that have higher BTUs installed in a smaller room tends to create a lot of humidity because they do not run effectively leaving a clammy and damp atmosphere. For a 300 square foot space, a PTAC unit with 7,000 BTUs is adequate. Add another 2,000 BTUs for every additional 100 square feet of room. Electrical Requirements PTAC units are good sized and require more voltage than the regular 115-volt outlet is able to provide. To handle the voltage requirements, every single room in the facility needs to be wired properly. The average AC system calls for about 220-240 volts, so be sure the wiring is able to accommodate the output.
