The tourism industry in Greece is increasingly aiming for high quality experiences and a low environmental footprint. One of the most critical elements of comfort in any hotel - regardless of the category - is the thermal comfort and noise of the air conditioning system. The fan coils MIRROR FS & MIRROR HW of Alphatech combine energy efficiency, quiet operation and minimalist aesthetics, offering a solution that meets the modern requirements of contractors, mechanical engineers and decorators.
What do I gain with fan coils?
- Thin profile 12cm - the smallest in its class
- Noise level ≤20dB(A) - ideal for 5* rooms
- Engine DCInverter with consumption by 4W
- Safety front made of tempered glass in white, silver or custom RAL
- Hydraulic connections right or left on the same fan-coil
The following guide explains how you can use MIRROR fan coils in hospitality projects, from design to maintenance, without including case studies or economic comparisons, focusing exclusively on the technical and design advantages.
Why should I put a fan coil and not a VRF?
Fan coils are water terminal units that allow autonomous zoning of each room, minimising internal losses and improving the accommodation experience. In relation to VRF systems:
- They reduce the risk of refrigerant leakage and F-Gas certification costs.
- They work perfectly with low temperature heat pumps.
- They provide independent heating-cooling-dehumidification control in each room.
- They allow quick maintenance with minimal downtime.
Tip for engineers: specify fan-coils with left or right connection to align MIRROR FS with existing piping, especially in renovation projects.
Architectural & decorative integration
Interior designers usually ask for "invisible" solutions. MIRROR's quality mirror front allows for the visual integration of the unit with the other elements of the room. In lobby or open-kitchen restaurants, install MIRROR FS in a ceiling, using a facade of the same colour as the suspended ceiling.
Benefits for contractors & installers
- Quick installation (<45min) thanks to the INOX DN15 auxiliary spirals.
- Ease of maintenance: filter & electronics access from the front.
- Master-slave: one controller manages up to 200 units - reduces automation costs.
- BMS Ready: Modbus RTU / OpenTherm for direct integration.
- 2 years warranty with the possibility of extension to 5 or 7 years.
Combination with heat pumps
MIRRORs work perfectly with the series Panasonic Aquarea J/K/L and Evitron Soundwave / Ecoprime Alphatech, utilizing water temperatures up to 45 °C for heating and ensuring SCOP >4,9 in Greek climate zones. With Wi-Fi, they achieve dynamic set-point based on a kWh spot price, increasing the own consumption of PV installations.
The MIRROR FS & HW are a complete solution for hospitality projects that require high aesthetics, quiet operation and energy excellence. With a thickness of just 12 cm, consumption of 4 W and smart management capability, they are the ideal choice for boutique, city & resort hotels.
