Multiplex cinemas or more generally high attendance buildings such as theatres or auditoriums are always a challenge in order to provide high quality comfort.

Load is highly dependent of the number of attendees so the required capacity varies over a wide range, also due different working conditions. The excess of cool or hot air causes discomfort for the occupants of the cinema, theatre or auditorium.

Rooftop systems are a typical air conditioning solution for this application and they allow a good air quality by mixing fresh air with recirculation air. On the other hand they are limited in terms of comfort due to large swings in supply air temperature. Capacity modulation represents therefore a fundamental feature to assure precise temperature and humidity control together with energy savings.

Emerson Climate Technologies offers a wide range of Copeland Scroll Digital™ compressors allowing modulation of capacity over a wide range and thus providing optimal comfort and maximum energy savings in all operating conditions.

Thanks to Copeland Scroll™ compressors it’s also possible to reduce to a minimum operating sound and vibration. Especially in urban areas is very important to reduce the propagation of noise towards the exterior.
