Sometimes shop owners have to insert paper in the ducts to reduce this coolness. According to technicians, increasing temperature in the shopping centre cannot be possible as it can increase humidity in the mall even if the outside temperature is not too hot.

Third reason is the increasing use of sophisticated appliances in the shops in a shopping mall. Most of these appliances do not work properly in the humid and hot environment of Singapore. So to make them working efficiently it becomes necessary to set its aircon systems at low temperature.

In this unit all the important parts of the aircon including evaporator coils, condensation coils and compressor are set in one enclosure installed on the bottom or side panel of the window of the shop or room.

Portable aircon system:
This aircon system also contains all of its cooling components within its unit, like window aircon. But it can be taken away wherever you want unlike window aircon. The heat exhausted by it will have to be discharged out of the room or shop through a hose.
