FAN COIL UNITS (FCU)

Fan Coil Units are compact air-conditioning terminals used with chilled water systems
to provide individual room-level temperature control. Vipul AC designs FCU systems
that integrate seamlessly with centralized chillers while offering flexibility, quiet
operation, and aesthetic installation.

Specifications

    • Type: Ceiling Concealed / Exposed
    • Capacity Range: 0.5 TR to 5 TR
    • Cooling Medium: Chilled Water
    • Airflow: Multi-speed
    • Noise Level: Low-noise design
    • Controls: Thermostat / BMS Ready
  • Drainage: Condensate Management System

Why Use FCUs?

The main advantages of FCUs include:

  • Individual zone control
  • Compact installation
  • Flexible installation options
  • Relatively simple chilled-water distribution
  • Suitable for centralized cooling systems
  • Independent room temperature control
  • Multiple installation configurations

FCUs can be installed as ceiling concealed, ceiling exposed, floor-mounted, wall-mounted or cassette-type units, depending on the manufacturer and project design.

FCU in a Chilled-Water HVAC System

A typical centralized HVAC arrangement can be represented as:

Chiller → Chilled-Water Pump → CHW Pipe → FCU → Conditioned Space

The FCU receives chilled water from the central plant. A fan moves room air across the cooling coil, where heat is transferred to the chilled water. The cooled air is then supplied back into the room.

For larger buildings, FCUs may operate together with AHUs, fresh-air systems, chillers, pumps, cooling towers and building-management systems (BMS).

FCU vs AHU

FCU: Generally serves a smaller zone or individual space.

AHU: Generally handles larger air volumes and can provide more extensive air treatment, filtration, ventilation and distribution.

In many commercial buildings, AHUs handle fresh air while FCUs provide localized room cooling.

Important FCU Design Considerations

When selecting an FCU, HVAC engineers should consider:

  • Cooling capacity
  • Airflow (CFM)
  • Chilled-water flow
  • Entering/leaving water temperature
  • Fan speed
  • Noise level
  • Static pressure
  • Filter requirements
  • Condensate drainage
  • Available installation space
  • Fresh-air requirements
  • Control method
  • Energy consumption
  • Maintenance accessibility

Unlike basic installations seen in the market, Vipul AC ensures correct FCU selection,
proper valve kits, balancing, and controls to achieve uniform cooling and energy
efficiency.

What is a Fan Coil Unit (FCU)?

A Fan Coil Unit (FCU) is an HVAC device that uses a fan and coil to heat or cool air within a room or zone.

FCUs are widely used in hotels, offices, hospitals, and residential buildings for individual room temperature control.

An FCU circulates air over a heating or cooling coil, adjusting the room temperature based on the required setting.

FCUs offer energy efficiency, quiet operation, flexible installation, and independent temperature control for different spaces.
