Ductless splits, also called "Mini-Splits" pump cooled or heated refrigerant directly to the wall or ceiling-mounted air-handling unit.
Here's how the system works in a single room application:
• The indoor unit uses refrigerant to cool or heat air and quietly pushes the chilled air it where you need it in your living space.Or if you're using ductless as a whole home solution, up to 9 indoor units can be installed using the same outdoor unit.
Also referred to as an evaporator or air handler, this can either be a high wall, low wall (above) or ceiling unit. There's even a ducted option.
The line sets consists of a power cable, condensate drain, refrigerant and suction tubing all connected to the indoor unit through a 3" hole.
Each outdoor unit, or condenser, can interface with up to 9 indoor air handler units and is designed to tolerate the weather and elements.
Ductless air conditioners and heat pumps can be installed so that one indoor unit corresponds to one outdoor compressor. The compressor carries refrigerant and power to the interior unit via a small pipe, running through a small opening, installed with very little impact to your home.
One outdoor compressor can power up to nine indoor units, each separately controlled by a wireless remote, offering you flexible options for configuring your comfort solutions. You can even choose to add units to your compressor in the future after you’ve installed just two indoor units (depending on the maximum number of connectable units), allowing for more streamlined expansion or renovation of your home as time and budget allow.
Ductless systems from Carrier use INVERTER technology, operating at variable speeds, which results in more-even temperature control, greater energy savings and powerful dehumidification. The compressor speed adjusts automatically, much like a car on cruise control, so the system isn’t constantly running at maximum capacity and only draws energy when it’s needed.
When it comes to monitoring or adjusting the temperature in your home, you have plenty of options.
Each indoor unit comes with it's own remote control. Also, Carrier® offers a variety of thermostat options; even the option to control your heating and air conditioning from virtually anywhere with a smart phone.
