Discover the Comfort of Split System Air Conditioners
At Chill Out Comfort Systems, we bring you the ultimate solution for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment - the split system air conditioner. But what exactly is a split system, and how does it work? Let's dive into the details!
What is a Split System Air Conditioner?
A split system air conditioner consists of two key components: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. These two units work in perfect harmony to keep your space at the ideal temperature. The indoor unit is responsible for absorbing heat from the room, while the outdoor unit works its magic to cool the refrigerant and pump refreshing cold air back indoors. These units are seamlessly connected through insulated tubes, discreetly passing through a small hole in your wall.
The Pros and Cons of Split Systems
Split system air conditioners are the go-to choice for many in Australia, offering several advantages. They can be strategically installed in specific rooms, they allow for additional units to be added over time, and they are not only cost-effective but also easy to maintain, all while operating quietly and efficiently. However, it's important to note that split systems have their limitations. They may not be the ideal solution for larger homes with open floor plans, and their appearance can be less than aesthetically pleasing.
How Does a Split System Air Conditioner Work?
The magic happens as refrigerant gas circulates through the cooling circuit of your split system air conditioner. This gas undergoes a fascinating transformation as it cools down and vaporizes in the condenser, only to be pushed into the evaporator where it expands and changes back into a gas. This rapid expansion leads to a dramatic drop in temperature. The cooled air from the room is drawn into the unit, passing over the evaporator coils, and voilà - the air is cooler when blown back into the room. This process repeats until your desired temperature, set by the thermostat, is achieved, at which point the unit automatically shuts down.
Do Split Systems Heat and Cool?
Yes, they do! Split systems can provide both heating and cooling functions, all from the same unit. For cooling, the unit draws in warm air, cools it, and circulates it back into the room. During the reverse cycle, the unit draws in ambient air, heats it, and pumps it back into the room. The refrigerant flows through various chambers, heating or cooling as needed to maintain your comfort.
What Size Split System Do You Need?
Selecting the right size split system is crucial to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Key factors affecting the size include room dimensions, insulation quality, location, and orientation. Generally, you can use the following as a rough guide:
- 10m² to 20m² room: 2.6kW unit
- 20m² to 30m² room: 3.5kW unit
- 30m² to 45m² room: 5-6kW unit
- 45m² to 65m² room: 7-8kW unit
However, for precise recommendations, it's wise to seek expert advice tailored to your specific needs.
Installation and Cost
Installation of split system air conditioners is a job for licensed professionals who ensure the safe handling of gas refrigerants, electrical wiring, and plumbing into your home's stormwater system. The outdoor unit is mounted on the exterior wall of the room requiring cooling, while the indoor unit is strategically placed inside. A long wall is generally preferred for indoor unit placement, avoiding direct positioning above windows.
