Central vs Ductless Air Conditioning
Summer is a couple of months away, but there is never a wrong time to discuss HVAC – whether central air or ductless. With a sound air conditioning system, you will not have to suffer in hot weather conditions. This article will discuss everything you need to know about HVAC.
People have a general idea of what HVAC is… but there is nothing like a good old-fashioned definition to make things more transparent. HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. It describes a system of transporting air from outdoors for cooling and heating purposes. You can use HVAC in a residential or commercial building.
HVAC is very common , but people usually only think of one specific type of HVAC product: central air conditioning. There are several types of air conditioning but we will focus on central air conditioning and one other type —ductless AC.
What is HVAC Ductless Air Conditioning
An ductless air conditioner is an air-conditioning system with two units… one outside and another inside which is connected with wiring and tubes for the refrigerant. The indoor unit is usually mounted on the wall and linked with the outdoor unit through wires and tubes that pass through a drilled part of the wall.
Since you don’t need ducts, this ductless air conditioner is easier to Install. However, this means each room in the building needs a ductless air conditioner.
How it Functions.
Like the central air conditioning system, the ductless system uses a compressor, external air conditioner, and refrigerant features. Take a look at the steps below to learn more about how a ductless air conditioning works and how it differs from a central air conditioning system.
1st Step: External Unit Pushes in Refrigerant to Evaporator Coil
The external compressor from the outdoor air unit pushes refrigerant into the indoor unit’s evaporator coil using the refrigerant tube. There, the refrigerant turns to a hot gas which removes heat from the air that the indoor unit drew in.
2nd Step: Cool Air Returns to the Room
After the refrigerant removes the heat, the system sends the cooler air to the room with the internal unit.
3rd Step: Refrigerant Returns to External Unit.
The refrigerant(now a hot vapor) gets transported to the external condenser coil, which converts the hot vapor into liquid refrigerant. The cycle then continues again.
Features of Ductless AC
- Indoor unit
- Outdoor unit
- Condenser coil
- Evaporator coil.
- Refrigerant
Benefits
- It is energy-saving.
- It works quietly.
- Less expensive.
- Fixing is flexible
- Installation is easy.
Disadvantages
- Each room in the building requires their own ductless unit.
- Installing multiple units can be expensive.
- Maintenance can be costly
- Not so aesthetic.
