Open guideEssential comparison
Three technologies, three contexts
There is no universally best technology. There is one that matches the room position, climate and service.
| Technology | Core strength | Verify | Starting context |
|---|---|---|---|
| Absorption | Specified at 0 dBA with no moving mechanical parts | Ventilation, ambient temperature, capacity | Sleeping zone and acoustic priority |
| Thermoelectric | Specified at 0 dBA for the models documented on page 10 | Model data, climate, capacity | Rooms with controlled conditions |
| Compressor | Faster cooling | Accepted sound, airflow, position | Warm climates and demanding heat loads |
