Easily the most familiar form of installed air conditioning, 'split' systems are so called because they comprise an indoor unit (mounted on a wall, ceiling or floor) which recirculates the air in the room, cooling it and heating it to your requirements.
The indoor unit is linked to an outdoor unit (condenser), by a pair of small diameter copper pipes contained in an insulating jacket. The heat removed from the room is dissipated to the atmosphere by the outdoor condenser. |
