Single Split System Air Conditioning
The Single split air conditioning system is without doubt the most common system installed.
The systems consist of an internal unit, in many diffent configurations, and a matching outdoor condensing unit.
Systems are permanantly installed and attached via small bore refrigerant pipe work and intercoonecting controls.
Distances between indoor and outdoor units can vary from 5m ~ 100 m depending upon system size and type.
Systems are capable of heating and cooling as standard. Most systems are fully inverter driven (with variable automatic output)
These systems must be installed and commissioned by F gas registered engineers.
basic types are explained below...
Wall systems
The simple wall system has the indoor unit installed at high level on a suitable internal wall surface.
The wall unit discharges conditioned air via lower louvers - room air is drawn in at the top of the unit
Controls are typically from an infra-red type, hard wired (wall mounted) can be supplied on certain types
Wall systems are extremely versatile and can be installed almost anywhere...
Cassette systems
The cassette unit is recessed into a false ceiling void with only a 20 - 30 mm fascia grill exposed within the room area.
Room air is drawn through a central grill and discharged in four separate directions.
Controls are typically from a hard wired (wall mounted) controller
Cassette systems are popular with suspended ceilings / open plan areas...
Ceiling suspended systems
The suspended unit is installed in the corner of the ceiling / wall or bulkhead etc.
Room air is drawn into a lower grill and discharged through a front facing louver
Controls are typically from a hard wired (wall mounted) controller
This systems are ideal for refurbishment of retail areas, where it is acceptable to see the suspended unit
Ceiling concealed (Ducted) systems
The ducted unit is installed within a ceiling void area or bulkhead close or away from the room area served.
The ducted unit is mainly a rectangular box with duct work connections for inlet and outlet air.
The room is air drawn and discharged through dedicated duct work and grills installed separately.
This system allows for great flexibility through design and grill positioning.
Controls are typically from a hard wired (wall mounted) controller
These units are suitable for any space where the unit can be concealed. these systems are highly recommended in large open plan areas...
Floor mounted (low level) systems
The floor mounted system is installed similar to a radiator (at floor level)
Room air is drawn into a lower grill and discharged through a top or, and lower louver
Controls are typically from a hard wired (wall mounted) controller
This systems are suitable for any space, a typical area could be a conservatory...
