What is a split air conditioner?
All air conditioners need some sort of means of loosing heat that they are taking from the room being treated. With mono block units the heat is pushed outside on air through a exhaust hose, but, with split units the ‘condenser unit’ is separate from the main unit and the two elements are connected by a flexible line that carries the refrigerant piping. Given that air conditioning works best when windows and doors are closed, these units are useful because the flexible line can go through a very small window opening to the condenser unit mounted outside, say on a window ledge.
