What is a rooftop
General information
A rooftop (roof-mounted air conditioner) is a monoblock climate control unit that combines the functions of supply ventilation, cooling, and heating. The equipment is installed on the roof or on a specially prepared open area near the building, which allows saving usable space inside the premises.
Air circulation is 100% with the possibility of partial fresh air admixture up to 25%. This makes rooftops an effective solution for facilities with large open spaces that require both ventilation and air conditioning.
Where are they used?
Areas of application
Rooftops are optimal for facilities with large open spaces and a high need for ventilation and air conditioning.
- 01Warehouse premisesEnsure temperature maintenance and air exchange in large warehouse complexes.
- 02Exhibition hallsCreate a comfortable microclimate for visitors and exhibits.
- 03Production premisesMaintain required air parameters in workshops and production lines.
- 04Sports complexesProvide ventilation and air conditioning in gyms, swimming pools, and stadiums.
Types of equipment
Rooftop modifications
Depending on project requirements, various configurations are available for operating modes, heating, recovery, and air exchange.
Cooling only
Designed for cooling during warm seasons. Used in facilities where heating is not needed or is provided by a separate heating system.
Cooling and heating
Universal solution for year-round operation. Maintain a comfortable temperature in summer and during the off-season.
With water heating
Use hot water from a boiler room or central heating. More often used in commercial and industrial facilities.
With electric heating
Equipped with built-in electric heaters. Suitable for facilities without access to gas networks and water heating.
With gas heating
Provide high heat output with low operating costs. Recommended when gas networks are available.
With varying outdoor air flow rates
Can operate with partial fresh air supply or fully perform the function of supply and exhaust ventilation with heat recovery.
With plate heat exchanger
Use heat/cold from exhaust air to precondition supply air, reducing energy consumption.
With rotary heat exchanger
Provide a high level of heat recovery due to a rotating heat exchange element. Suitable for facilities with high air flow rates.
Special design
Upon request, they are equipped with additional sections: recovery, humidification, enhanced filtration, various types of heating, and other solutions.
Operating principle
How the rooftop works
The rooftop air conditioner is a fully ready system including a refrigeration circuit, compressors, heat exchangers, fans, air filters, and automation.
01
Fresh air intake
Outside air enters the unit through air intake grilles.
02
Filtration
Air passes through filters to remove dust and pollutants.
03
Heat treatment
Depending on the mode, the air is cooled, heated, or undergoes recovery to achieve the desired temperature.
04
Distribution
Prepared air is supplied through a network of ducts to the rooms.
05
Automatic maintenance
The automation system continuously monitors parameters and adjusts operating modes to maintain the specified microclimate.
Advantages
Why choose rooftop units
Rooftop air conditioners combine many advantages for commercial and industrial facilities.
01
Ventilation and air conditioning in one
One device replaces several separate systems, simplifying design and operation.
02
Compact placement on the roof
Installation on the roof does not take up usable space inside the building.
03
No need for technical rooms
No need to allocate separate rooms for equipment.
04
Factory readiness and quick installation
The system is supplied fully assembled, which reduces installation time.
05
Operation with outdoor air
Provides fresh air supply (up to 25% admixture).
06
High performance
Suitable for large facilities with high air exchange volumes.
07
Automatic control
The system automatically maintains the specified microclimate parameters.
08
Reduction of operating costs
Efficient energy use and recovery reduce costs.

Buy a rooftop unit Planas for ventilation and air conditioning
Planas rooftop units are packaged rooftop air conditioners designed for ventilation, cooling and, depending on the configuration, heating of commercial and industrial buildings. Rooftop air conditioners are used in shopping centers, supermarkets, offices, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial properties. Installing the equipment on the roof helps save usable indoor space and provides efficient air conditioning.
Klimatrade specialists provide professional selection of Planas rooftop units based on building area, heat load, required cooling capacity, airflow rate, operating conditions and energy efficiency requirements. Depending on the project, you can choose a cooling-only rooftop air conditioner or a rooftop unit with a heat pump for both cooling and heating. Equipment selection also takes into account installation requirements, automation systems and local climate conditions.
If you are planning to buy a rooftop unit in Kazakhstan, Klimatrade specialists will help you select the right model, calculate the required capacity and prepare a technical and commercial quotation. The rooftop unit price depends on cooling capacity, configuration, heating type, control system and operating conditions.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ about rooftops
Answers to popular questions about rooftop air conditioners.
What is Rooftop?
Rooftop — is a monoblock rooftop climate unit combining functions of supply ventilation, cooling and air heating.
Where are rooftop air conditioners installed?
The equipment is mounted directly on the roof of the building or on a specially prepared open area next to it.
Can Rooftop be used in winter?
Yes, it can. Depending on the modification, the unit can operate in heating mode and provide a comfortable indoor temperature even during the cold season.
Is a separate ventilation system needed?
In most cases, no. Rooftop simultaneously handles ventilation and air conditioning tasks, replacing several separate systems.
For which types of facilities is Rooftop best suited?
Rooftop is ideal for shopping centers, supermarkets, warehouse complexes, production workshops, sports facilities, and other buildings with large open spaces.
How to select the equipment capacity?
Capacity selection is performed individually based on the room area, heat gain calculation, number of people, required air exchange, and other features of the specific facility.
