Column air conditioners

Column

— heavy powerful units installed on the floor. They differ from floor models (see the relevant paragraph) both in higher capacity and in the layout — in this case, it is vertical, like a column (hence the name). In addition, wall mounting is generally not required for column units (although many models allow it).

A key feature of column air conditioners is the ability to create a powerful airflow that can quickly cool or warm up a large area. On the other hand, such a flow of air can create serious discomfort for a person nearby. Therefore, the best way to use columned units is to serve large areas where, for one reason or another, it is impossible to use other types of air conditioners (such as cassette). An air conditioner with this type of installation may be the best choice for a shop floor, a restaurant, a large hotel lobby, and even for a large room in a private house or apartment.
