Main Components
-
The four main components of a ductless air conditioner are the condensing unit, evaporator coil units, thin refrigerant lines and a hand-held wireless remote or wall mount to control the system.
Condensing Unit
-
The condensing unit is normally located or stored outdoors and contains the compressor. This component typically serves multiple evaporator coil units inside the exterior walls.
-
Evaporator Coil Units
-
The evaporator coil units are located in "air handler" enclosures, which also contain blower fans and filters, and are installed on the interior walls near the ceiling.
Thin Refrigerant Lines
-
The refrigerant lines are usually made of copper tubing, and these thin lines connect the indoor unit to the outdoor unit.
Ductless Split Air Conditioning System
-
This system offers "zone control," or room-by-room temperature control. This system can be controlled to minimizing overcooling by only cooling occupied rooms or spaces and allowing the air in other areas to be turned down.
