Duct Free Systems – Less Can Be More
INDIANAPOLIS, May 17, 2005 – Comfort is the bottom line for any commercial or residential air conditioning system, but certain obstacles can arise when creating a system that delivers a comfortable environment to every corner of a home or office. Fortunately, HVAC professionals have a variety of tools at their disposal, including Bryant Heating and Cooling Systems' duct-free units that can solve many difficult design issues.
While a duct-free system is an adequate alternative to reach places that ductwork cannot, there are at least 2 areas where a duct-free system may actually outperform its ducted counterparts in certain applications – energy efficiency and acoustical performance.
Duct-free systems represent a growing U.S. market, and Bryant has remained at the forefront of this steady growth by aggressively expanding its duct-free systems offerings. With an established full line of highwall units and under ceiling/console units already in place, Bryant is adding another tier of cost-effective, high quality highwall and under ceiling/console units – the Streamline® Series.
The Streamline Series is designed to provide both cost and application flexibility for consumers, contractors, builders and engineers. Streamline high-wall units are available in 18,000; 24,000; 30,000; and 36,000 BTUH capacities. These enhance the current product offering of in-ceiling cassettes offered in 18,000 – 36,000 BTUH and the under-ceiling series from 18,000 to 60,000 BTUH capacity levels.
The Streamline Series also boasts another advancement with the I-Sense remote control available on the Streamline Series. This wireless, infrared smart remote allows the desired temperature to be programmed so the temperature is adjusted to meet the needs of the area around the remote and not the stationary unit. This remote provides not only greater comfort and control for the end-user, but also incorporates several factory-installed options for easier installation to save contractors time and labor costs.
For convenience, energy efficiency and acoustical performance, duct-free systems reveal that less can be more in certain circumstances when delivering a comfortable indoor environment. With the Streamline Series, Bryant is prepared to help builders and contractors exercise the duct-free option in a variety of residential and commercial applications.
