  2. How Split Air Conditione Is Suitable for Your Room • Split air conditioners are such home appliances that do not require ductwork, which reduces the overall energy expenditures. Still, many homeowners shy away from a split air conditioner system because they do not know how it works or why it is a viable option for cooling down. • The accompanying information will enlighten you about the function and establishment of split air conditioner systems. You may discover that a split system sounds perfect for your home cooling needs.

  3. How Does a Split Air Conditioner Work? • Freon Gas, a refrigerant, is filled into the compressor where it is pressurized. This also causes the rise of heat in the gas. • The pressurized gas then goes through a succession of tubes, which are meant to condense it into a liquid. • The liquid is then pressurized and travels through the condenser tubes until it comes to an expansion joint. • The pressurized liquid passes through this point in the process and becomes the gas again as the pressure is rapidly reduced. • During the reduction of pressure, gas also releases a great amount of heat and becomes much cooler.

  4. The gas then passes back to the compressor to repeat that process. • Air from the room is drawn into the unit and passes over the evaporator coils. • This action cools the air significantly which is then forced back into the room via the blower. • The air continues to circulate through the air conditioner until a set temperature (set by the thermostat) is reached. • At this point the apparatus shuts off automatically.

  5. The operation of a split air conditioner, as shown in the points above, is very much like that of any other air conditioner. The difference is that one part of the unit is completely placed outside the home, while another portion is placed inside. The compressor, vent fan and condenser coils are on the outside of the building in a self-contained unit, and the evaporator coils and blower are on the inside. The two are connected via pipes or another tubing. Central air conditioners are sort of split air conditioner, but most people seea split unit has a smaller compressor/condenser coil box on the outside and individual room units on the inside. These are made to cool a room without the need for ducting. In some ways, it is a simpler system and allows better zone control.

  6. Reason That Makes an AC Effective? • A split air conditioner is effective because of the following reasons: • It has a larger compressor than a window AC unit thus cooling a much larger area in less time. • One compressor can be attached to several different ductless units or ducting (as in a central air system). • The individual units are easy to maintain (they have a very simple design) and the compressor is placed either on the roof of the house or on a pad. • Efficiency is another concern. People are worried about electrical usage and it is easier to control when a zone cooling system is used. If the individual ductless units are not turned on in a room, then they are not in operation. However, the compressor is always ready and there is less costly starting up and shutting down with this system.

  7. How Does a split air conditioner Unit Differ? • As mentioned before, a central air conditioner is technically a split system in some ways, so there is no difference between these two, except that split ACs don’t require ductwork. • The main difference between a split unit and a portable or a window air conditioner is of size. • A split air conditioner will generally have a large compressor and a greater overall capacity than either a portable or window unit. • It also differs in the fact that the unit is split into two distinct parts. Unlike the smaller units which are encompassed within one box.

  8. How Many Parts Does it Contain? The parts list for a split air conditioner is similar as other units. It has a compressor, a condenser coil, expansion joint and a vent fan all contained in the outer box. The evaporator coils, filter, blower and individual unit boxes are present inside. Also, there is a thermostat to control the entire unit, so you can enjoy even more comfort with your 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.
