The fan coil system is essentially a completely watery system. Fan Coil Units, consisting of two parts, a fan and a coil, are devices used for heating and cooling. These units need a thermostat to be controlled. If there is a single coil in the fan coil used, the installed system is called a two-pipe fan coil system. Two pipes circulate in the system making distribution and collection. A distribut...
