Air Conditioning Split Unit

A split unit air conditioner is a type of air conditioning system that uses two separate components to cool or heat a space. The two components are the indoor unit, which is typically mounted on the wall or ceiling, and the outdoor unit, which is usually located outside the building. The indoor unit contains the evaporator coil, fan, and compressor, while the outdoor unit contains the condenser coil, fan, and compressor. The two units are connected by refrigerant lines, which transfer the cooled or heated air from one unit to the other. Split unit air conditioners are often used in residential and commercial settings, as they are more energy efficient than traditional air conditioning systems. They are also more flexible, as they can be installed in different locations, depending on the needs of the space.
