Split systems refer to a type of air conditioning system that consists of two separate units: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is typically installed on a wall or ceiling inside the building and contains the evaporator coil, while the outdoor unit contains the compressor and the condenser coil.
In a split system, the indoor and outdoor units are connected by a conduit that contains refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, and a drain line. The system works by extracting heat from the indoor air and transferring it to the outdoor unit, where it is released into the outside air. This results in a cooler indoor environment.
Split systems are popular in residential and commercial settings because they are easy to install, energy-efficient, and provide consistent cooling. They can also be used for heating, as some split systems are designed to provide both cooling and heating.
Split systems are available in various sizes and configurations to suit different spaces and cooling requirements. They are often used in single rooms or open-plan areas, but can also be used to cool multiple rooms by installing multiple indoor units connected to a single outdoor unit.
