Split Air Conditioner Unit

INTRODUCTION

Air conditioners are used to cool, dehumidify and heat rooms.
There are many types of air conditioning systems in the market, among them the air conditioners with air pump function, to cool or heat.
Split system air conditioners consist of an inner unit and an outer unit. In the inner unit there is a heat exchanger with fan, which can work either as evaporator or condenser according to the cooling or heating operation, respectively.
The outer unit includes: a compressor, another heat exchanger, an expansion element and a switching valve that enables the change from cooling to heating mode. This heat exchanger can also work as evaporator (the refrigerant is evaporated by withdrawing heat to the ambient) or condenser (the refrigerant is condensed and heat is transferred to the ambient according to the operation mode).
The Split Air Conditioner Unit, “TACS”, designed by EDIBON allows the study of the operation of a split system air conditioner with heat pump function to heat or cool, apart from other operation modes available.
