What is a Mini Split System (and How Does It Work)?
A mini split system is a type of HVAC system that does not require ductwork to operate, making it distinct from traditional central HVAC systems. At the core of a mini split system’s operation is the transfer of heat between the indoor and outdoor environments.
It consists of two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser and one or more indoor air-handling units. These components are connected by a conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain.
In cooling mode, the system extracts heat from inside the room and discharges it outside, thus lowering the indoor temperature. For heating, the process is reversed, with the system drawing heat from the outdoor air and releasing it inside. This is made possible through a refrigerant cycle within the system, facilitated by the outdoor compressor.
Additionally, mini split systems often feature inverter technology, allowing the compressor to adjust its speed dynamically to match the desired temperature efficiently, leading to reduced energy consumption and improved comfort levels.
