WHAT IS A SPLIT AC
As the name suggest, one unit is divided into two parts, cooling unit is installed inside the room, where as hot exhaust is outside. As cooling unit is separate, which allow the manufacturer to make more powerful AC. As the compressing unit is outside, there is no noise inside the room. Split Ac is good choice for offices and other commercial places. Moreover, it can also be used in those rooms, which have no window for the installation of window AC. However, it is not suitable for rooms, which are in the middle of large buildings, as in this case it will be difficult to connect them with their compressor.
Split AC, being divided into two parts, has large capacity, so it’s ideal for use in large offices and big rooms in the house.
Split unit is found to be a calm customer inside the house.
For the installation of a Split AC you have to connect the exterior and interior units through rubber tubes.
Split AC interior unit will be connected to compressor unit through a small hole in the wall.
Split AC comes in two units, cooling unit inside and compressor unit outside.
Split AC is noise free as the compressor is built in to the cooling unit.
Split AC needs professionals to install, requires a mounting stand for the compressor unit, as such need outside space and of course installation cost will be more.
COMPONENTS OF A SPLIT AC
A split air conditioner is made up of two primary parts that is very familiar: the evaporator and the compressor. Both of these elements exist in more common central air units and wall air conditioners. The difference with a mini-split system is that they are separated into two; distant components, one being outdoors and one being indoors. The outdoor section is a compressor that initiates the cooling process, while the indoor component consists of an evaporator and fan.
The two sections are connected with a set of electrical wires and tubing, also called lines, used to transport air between the two sections. It's these lines that allow the split AC to be considered ductless, and the fact that the wires and tubing are so small and discreet compared to large ducts is where the "mini" split name comes from.
FUNCTIONS OF A SPLIT AC
The compressor is controlled by an internal thermostat. As the thermostat detects warm air, it activates the outdoor compressor.
The compressor circulates a refrigerant gas, increasing the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant as it compresses it through a series of pipes. The refrigerant then moves to the condenser for further processing.
In the condenser, a cooling system removes heat from the high-pressure gas and the gas changes phase and becomes a liquid. This chilled liquid is pushed through tubing indoors until it reaches the evaporator system.
Inside the home, the evaporator fan collects warm air and passes it through a chamber containing the chilled liquid refrigerant.
The fan system blows this air, which has now been cooled, back into the room, lowering the overall temperature of the space.
If the thermostat still detects air that is warmer than desirable, the process continues, and the refrigerant and any excess heat that remains in the system are passed back outdoors to the compressor in order to begin the cycle again.
BENEFIT OF A SPLIT AC
Less Energy Loss
A Split air conditioner is compact and isolated between two localized component sections, so there is very little opportunity for heat and other energy to escape the system. Centralized air conditioning systems waste enormous amounts of energy due to heat exchange in the air conditioner duct system. However, this problem is virtually eliminated in a split air conditioner system.
Less Heat Loss
Split air conditioner systems are preferable to window and wall air conditioning units as well. Although the latter are small and easy to install, they do not provide reliable cooling to a large space or to multiple rooms. Even with thoroughly sealed windows and walls, these air conditioner units allow for heat to enter the space, partially negating the effects of the system.
Targeted Heating and Cooling
Additionally, it's possible to have more than one indoor evaporator and fan. You could have one in each room or area of your home and run them each independently with only one outdoor compressor. This combines the efficiency and customization of a space heater or fan with the convenience of central air.
Affordable Installation
Split air conditioners are compact, easy to operate, maintain and relatively inexpensive. They do require some electrical wiring and other specialized installation techniques, so it is advisable to hire a professional air conditioner installer to set up the system. However, once the system is installed, most homeowners find that it is a cheap, energy-efficient way of adequately controlling the heat within the home.
