Title –Improve The Air Quality - Know the Difference Between Split and Window

Air Conditioner

Description - When it is warm and sweltering outside, going inside a cool air

conditioner gives you an instant relief for the moment. You can choose from split and

window air conditioners with sophisticated design with better design.

Air conditioner is something that people look at installing every year. There are

number of options available when it comes to making choice between different types

of AC. When it comes to cooling room, there are mainly two types - Split and

Window Air Conditioners, that we can choose from. The main difference between the

two is their packaging.

A window type is a compact unit where all the components are packed inside. It just

needs to be mounted properly and plugged into function. On the other hand, Split

AC's comes in two discrete packages- one for the hot side and another for the cold

side. The two sides are connected with a pipe that carry fluid.

Window AC's is thew last resort for air conditioning your house or building. There

are many down sides to window air conditioning units. There are mainly two

important things that window air conditioners have going for them. They are mainly

inexpensive when it comes to cost per BTU of cooling. The installation of these unit

can be done easily and very quickly.

Also, a window air conditioning unit implements a complete air conditioner in a

small space . The units are small enough to fit into the standard frame . You close the

window down on the unit, plug it in and turn it on to get the cool air. If you take the

cover off of an unplugged window unit. You will find that it contains - A

compressor, an expansion valve, a hot coil, a chilled coil, two fans and a control

unit. The fan blows over the coil to improve their ability to dissipate heat to the

outside space from the room being cooled. This is where the good part of them ends.

When you get into the larger air conditioning application, its time to start looking at

the split system units. This is where the major difference between window and split

AC's comes into play.

A split system air conditioner splits the hot side from the cold side of the system. Just

as the name suggest, the two key function of the AC are split into two main

compartments. One is – the hot side, compressor and condenser unit and the other is

cold side- the expansion valve and the evaporator unit. Since the two units are

separate individually they can be larger and thus the AC can be designed to be more

powerful than window AC. Also, window AC's have size limitation and therefore they

cannot exceed certain capacity. Since the compressor condenser unit can be installed

outside the building, inside the air conditioner feels calm and quiet. Split AC's are

best option for office use and other large commercial buildings. Due to their compact

size and dropped price Split Ac's are becoming popular even for household storage.
