The use of air conditioners has become extremely popular and important. With increasing global warming and the temperatures rising high, air conditioning units are being used in many places. Ductless split air conditioners were first manufactured in Japan and used there for many years. These cooling units have only recently been introduced to other countries. They are now being used in restaurants, auditoriums, cinema theatres, office buildings and schools.

Ductless air conditioning units are also known as “mini-splits”. Like central air conditioning units, these air conditioners have two units as well; a compressor and an air handling unit which comprises of an evaporator and a fan. The evaporator and fan unit are placed in the room that needs cooling and the condenser and compressor which is a single unit is placed outside the home. A conduit that includes the drain, the tubing and the power cable attaches both the units outside and inside the home.

The main advantage of these split air conditioners is that they do not need ducts on the wall which makes the installation process easier. The environment also remains quiet as the compressor makes little noise while it works.

Ductless split air conditioners have a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) that ranges between 10.0 and 11.5. These units have a thermostat that helps save energy and provides a zone cooling facility. Another great advantage of ductless split air conditioners is that they provide many options for interior designing and do not interfere with the look of the room.
