The Split type air-conditioner is gaining popularity in residential situations over the window type because this type of air conditioner can be mounted easily anywhere even in rooms without windows. They are more discrete and have a low installation cost although the initial outlay can be higher than window units. There may be a small increase in power consumption in split AC units compared to the window type but overall the running cost is almost same for both air-conditioners with no difference in efficiency.
A split system has a condensing unit outside. This leads to a major advantage, as the noise level is low as the noisy part, the compressor, is kept outside. The evaporation panel remains within the building. These units are very slick looking and do not intrude on the living space. Interconnecting pipes are also external keeping the room aesthetics, as you want them. There are no structural changes or disruption with split AC units.
With a split air-conditioner, the indoor unit sucks air from the room and throws it back to the room after cooling and removing moisture from it, while the outdoor unit removes the heat to the atmosphere. In order to choose the right air conditioner, a couple of calculations are needed to establish the heat load of a given room. Body temperature is 99 degrees Fahrenheit (37 Celsius) so in order for comfort the temperature of the room should be between 70 to 79 degrees F (21 to 26 Celsius) with a relative humidity range of 20 to 50%.
An air conditioner’s heating or cooling capacities are rated by watts or kilowatts. Normally a room having two occupants carries away 50 British thermal units (BTUs) of heat per hour, per square foot of the room area. One Kilowatt is equivalent to 3400 BTUs per hour. This means for a 15 feet x 15 feet room size, an air-conditioner having a capacity of 11250 BTU (15 feet x 15 feet x 50 BTU/hour) will be required. With this, 600 BTU/hr for every person and 1000 BTU/hr for each appliance need to be added.
