| Ductless, mini split systems are
quite often the best choice for numerous applications in
residential, commercial and institutional buildings.
These systems can be used for renovations, room additions
and even new construction when the advantages of
energy-efficient zone cooling are desired. Some ideal
applications include: homes, multifamily housing,
churches, nursing homes, grocery stores, restaurants,
motels, school classrooms and perimeter cooling for
office buildings. |

Much
like central systems, the mini split systems have two
main components: an outdoor condensing unit and indoor
fan coil. Also included is a conduit, which houses the
power supply, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing and a
condensate drain, linking the outdoor and indoor units.

 |
- Easy
Installation
|
- Simple
installation means you can have the unit
up and running in just a few short hours.
|
- No
Ductwork
|
- Avoids
the energy losses associated with
ductwork of central forced air systems.
Duct losses can account for more than 30%
of energy consumption for space
conditioning.
|
- Ultra-quiet
Operation
|
- Mini
splits are designed to be much quieter
than window units. You will not hear an
annoying rush of air or compressor noise.
|
- Simple
Controls
|
- Settings
are constantly maintained and monitored
by simple controls which often include a
wireless remote control.
|
- Security
|
- Split
systems keep your home or office safe
because they only need a three inch hole
to connect the units, whereas, window
units can provide an easy entrance for
intruders.
|
- Interior
Design
Options
|
- The
indoor fan coil can be suspended from a
ceiling, mounted flush into a drop
ceiling, or mounted on a wall.

- As a
rule of thumb: (remember, these figures are
simple approximations)
-
- Commercial
applications (shops, offices, etc.)*: 400 sq. ft.
per 12,000 Btuh
- Computer rooms
and telephone servers*: 250 sq. ft. per 12,000
Btuh
- Residential
applications*: 600 sq. ft. per 12,000 Btuh
-
- *These figures
are not a substitute for performing a Manual J or
other accurate heat load calculation
