A cool environment provides a number of key benefits; improved productivity in the workspace, increased customer spending in the retail and restaurant environment due to longer customer stay, and a better nights’ sleep for both young and old alike. All our units are reversible, highly efficient heat pumps,they will remove nearly three times the amount of heat energy that they consume. All Tasaki units offer climate control, and have the ability to heat and cool and will give a comfortable environment all year round. They can be used as a primary heating source to give a cost effective solution.

How do they work?
Air conditioners and refrigerators work the same way. Instead of cooling just the small, insulated space inside of a refrigerator, an air conditioner cools a room, a whole house, or an entire business.

Air conditioners use chemicals (refrigerants) that easily convert from a gas to a liquid and back again. This chemical is used to transfer heat from the air inside of a building to the outside air.

The machine has three main parts. They are a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator.

The compressor and condenser are usually located on the outside air portion of the air conditioner. The evaporator is located on the inside the building.
The refrigerant arrives at the compressor as a cool, low-pressure gas. The compressor squeezes the refrigerant. This packs the molecule of the fluid closer together. The closer the molecules are together, the high its energy and its temperature.
The refrigerant leaves the compressor as a hot, high pressure gas and flows into the condenser. The condenser looks and acts like a car radiator and enables the refrigerant to loose heat to the air.
When the refrigerant leaves the condenser, its temperature is much cooler and it has changed from a gas to a liquid under high pressure. The liquid goes into the evaporator through a very tiny, narrow hole. On the other side, the liquid’s pressure drops. When it does it begins to evaporate into a gas.
As the liquid changes to gas and evaporates, it extracts heat from the air around it. The heat in the air is needed to separate the molecules of the fluid from a liquid to a gas.
The evaporator also has metal fins to help in the exchange of thermal energy with the surrounding air.
By the time the refrigerant leaves the evaporator, it is a cool, low pressure gas. It then returns to the compressor to begin its trip all over again.
Connected to the evaporator is a fan that circulates the air inside the house to blow across the evaporator fins. Hot air is lighter than cold air, so the hot air in the room rises to the top of a room.
There is a vent there where air is sucked into the air conditioner and goes down ducts. The hot air is used to cool the gas in the evaporator. As the heat is removed from the air, the air is cooled.
This continues over and over and over until the room reaches the temperature you want the room cooled to. The thermostat senses that the temperature has reached the right setting and turns off the air conditioner. As the room warms up, the thermostat turns the air conditioner back on until the room reaches the temperature.
