Split system

The operation of the split system of any air conditioner is based on the fact that a liquid has the property of absorbing heat during evaporation, and emitting it during condensation. The air conditioner consists of several components, the main of which are the compressor, condenser, evaporator, thermostatic valve, fans. Each of these elements performs certain functions, which make up the work of the whole system as a whole. The circulation of refrigerant (freon) in the system allows you to cool and heat the air in the room. ⠀
⠀
🌪 The air conditioner consists of an indoor unit located in the room and an outdoor unit that is displayed on the street. The function of the compressor is to compress Freon and maintain its movement along the refrigeration circuit. A condenser is a radiator that is located in an external unit: in it there is a conversion of freon from a gaseous state to a liquid one. In the evaporator, freon, on the contrary, passes from the liquid phase to the gaseous one. ⠀
⠀
🌡 A thermostatic expansion valve exists to lower the pressure of the freon in front of the evaporator. The air flow generated by the fans blows the evaporator and condenser, and also makes the heat exchange with the surrounding air more intense. ⠀
⠀
⚗ The principle of operation of the split system of the air conditioner is as follows. To cool the air in the room, freon enters from the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit through a copper tube into the heat exchanger of the indoor unit. There he is blown by a fan, and cold air comes out of the indoor unit. To heat the air in the room, the external condenser is converted into an evaporator using a heat pump, and the evaporator becomes a condenser. ⠀
⠀
🛡 The external unit of the air conditioner, in which the noisiest processes take place, is mounted on the street. Indoor units come in several forms, depending on how they are installed: wall, floor, floor-to-ceiling, ceiling, window, cassette, duct. ⠀
