Split systems, multi split systems

Split-system air conditioners These get their name from the English word "split", which means "separate." Split-system consists of two blocks - internal, located in the room, and outdoor imposed on the street. Due to this separation of air conditioning is no longer tied to the window opening, since the indoor unit split systems can accommodate virtually any convenient location. Since the most noisy element - the compressor - passed to an external unit, the noise generated by split-system is much smaller than the window air conditioner. Finally, the significant advantage of a split-system is the ability to pick up this type of indoor unit, which is best suited for a particular room. Indoor units are wall, floor, ceiling, columns and embedded in the ceiling - channel or cluster. The apartments and small office buildings generally use a split system wall type. If you need more cooling capacity 7000 W, using a split-system of other types: indoor complex shape - or duct tape, with glass walls - ceiling, in the halls of restaurants and large halls - a column. It's worth noting that most split-systems, cassette, and channel type allows the penetration of fresh air from the street. Multi-split system if a single external power operates several domestic air-conditioner is called a 'Multi-system. When the number of indoor units is more than six and the maximum distance between the blocks reach the 100 meters, such systems are called multi-zone (zonalnomodulnymi), or VRF-systems. Multi-split systems are suitable for conditioning several adjacent premises, and if you want to create comfort in the whole building or on the entire floor, it is reasonable to use VRF-systems. In order not to be trapped, getting a split-system, it is worth considering the following points: If you make repairs, air conditioning is desirable to obtain and install before the premises will be carried out, finishing work - then all communication between the blocks can be hidden in the wall. In addition, installation of split system under repair is in the 1,3 - 1,5 times cheaper than in a room with a completed finish. Choosing air-conditioning, you must at least roughly know what the cooling power you need to pay off all the excess heat. It can be calculated from the following: a 1 sq. glazed area of ??the premises receive an average of 450 watts of heat, a person produces about 150 watts, and office equipment turns into heat energy by about 30% consumed this Technocom power (one computer allocates 300 W laser printer - 400 W copier - 500 W ). Cooling capacity air conditioner must exceed the total amount teplopostupleny from all sources. In addition, 10 sq.m. premises shall be at least 1000 watts of cold, which corresponds to the minimum teplopostupleniyam from sunlight or artificial light for a ceiling height of not more than 3 meters. For the price stated in the pricelist firms should add 10-12% on accessories (mount external unit, decorative boxes, copper pipe, drain pipes, cables) and 20-25% of the assembly. This figure is not so great when you consider that in Europe, Japan and mounting costs 50-70% of the cost of equipment. Of course, you can find a team "shabashniks and save hundreds of dollars, but it can turn into big problems because of poor quality installation can" ruin "even the best equipment. By the same guarantee to the buyer does not give the manufacturer and the company-conditioner installer, if a problem occurs is unlikely to achieve their elimination from the "shabashniks. Think in advance where you are placing an external air conditioner unit. It is not necessary to ask installers to install it on a bare wall, 16-storey skyscraper. This will not only complicate and make more expensive installation, but also further complicate the maintenance of the outdoor unit, which does not harm the periodic cleaning and protection from falling icicles. Much better he will feel on your balcony or in another maloprimetnom place. The average air conditioner removes from the air from 1 to 2 liters of water per hour, and therefore pre-negotiate with the seller, where he is going to bring drainage pipe. The best option - tap water in the sewers, but if not, should the pipeline on the street. In this case, requires heating the drain pipe. This will allow the use air conditioning at subzero temperatures without fear of freezing of diverted water. In no case can not accept the fact that the condensate is blended in a jar. " This not only violates the interior, but also will result in endless puddles on the floor. In conclusion, let me remind you that a quality air conditioner can last a half to two times longer, and therefore, selecting a split-system, do not skimp on the prestige of the brand. Technology Excellence popular brands is only 15-30% more expensive than similar models by the form of little-known firms, and their cost can vary by half!
