A mini ductless split-system consists of
three main components; a condenser, an
evaporator, and a remote control. The condenser
(outside unit) is used to create air
conditioning and the evaporator (inside unit) is
used to distribute the air into the desired
area. The condenser and the evaporator are
connected with refrigerant line-sets and
electrical wiring and can have a distance up to
100 feet between the indoor and outdoor units.
High wall split-systems can also provide heat.
Split-systems that provide heat are called “Heat
Pumps” and use a reversing valve to change the
flow of the refrigerant to create warm air
instead of cool air. High wall systems can
produce between 9,000 Btu. and 30,000 Btu. of
cooling or heating depending on the size of the
system. Each high wall system comes standard
with the evaporator, condenser, remote control,
and field wiring. A thermostatic defrost wire is
included with heat pump units. Some of the
benefits of a high wall split-system include:
-
Efficiency:
Hydro-Sil CoolAire systems have SEER ratings
from 13 to 18 SEER (Seasonal Energy
Efficiency Rating). Less than 5% cooling loss
occurs with split-systems using insulated
refrigerant line-sets versus up to
40% cooling loss
for
systems that use duct work. Split-systems are
also
very efficient,
because they cool or heat
only the areas where indoor units are installed.
-
Quiet:
Because of the distance between the condenser
and the evaporator and specially designed low-noise fan motors and fan blades (as low
as 32 decibels); split-systems are ideal for
creating a quiet environment.
-
Easy Installation:
Only a 3” hole is needed through a wall or
roof to run the wiring and linesets between the condenser to the evaporator. This
keeps the inside and outside of the home aesthetically pleasing. All wiring is
labeled separately to insure proper
connections. Flare fitting connectors create quick, tight connections
between the two units and the line-sets. Double
insulated line-sets are used to reduce condensation
from the extreme cool refrigerant that travels
through the lines.
Mini
Split-System Operations
Following is a list of important details for the
proper operation of high wall split-systems.
Every unit is furnished with a full
installations manual. Please reference the
manual for proper procedures for specific
equipment being installed.
(A) Drain Hose
The
drain hose is plastic tubing expelling water
created by the de-humidification function.
The
drain hose may drain from either the left of the
right side of the evaporator depending on the
placement of the 3" hole.
(B) Liquid Line
The
liquid line or (high side) refrigerant line is
used to impel cool refrigerant from the
condenser outside unit to the evaporator.
(C) Suction Line
The
suction line or (low side) refrigerant-line is
used to expel warm refrigerant from the
evaporator inside unit back to the condenser
outside unit.
(D) Electrical Wire
The high
wall split-system equipment includes electrical
wiring between the condenser and the evaporator.
Consult your installation manual.
Wiring
equipment will travel:
-
From
the electrical box to a disconnect outdoors
-
From
the disconnect to the condenser (outdoor unit)
-
From
the condenser to the evaporator (inside unit)
(E) Flare Fittings
HVAC flare fittings
are standard on all our high wall equipment.
