What types of Air Conditioning equipment to install?
The market has several solutions / options and for those unfamiliar with the topic, the technical terms used are sometimes confusing.
PORTABLE
If you do not have pre-installation of air conditioning, you may consider portable equipment, but this one consumes a lot of energy.
PORTABLE SPLIT
The split portable air conditioner has an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, interconnected by the tubing. It's too little
efficient because it requires having a window ajar or an opening for the passage of the pipe,
reducing the effect of air conditioning.
Reduced sound level.
It does not need to be installed by a professional.
PORTABLE MONOBLOCO
The monoblock laptop consists of an indoor unit, very noisy and heavy. Efficiency is usually
low and often only refreshing. Those that heat up tend to be by electrical resistance.
They require a heat exhaust pipe to the outside, and even accessory to cross the window, this is not effective and is lost part of the effect of the air conditioning.
It has the advantage of being portable and being able to cool / warm several rooms at the same time.
Efficiency limited to small size divisions.
MONO SPLIT or MULTI SPLIT
If you have pre-installation of air conditioning or are willing to do works for it, you have two options: the mono-split and the multi-split.
MONO SPLIT
It is the ideal system for those who want to air-conditioning more than one environment at the same time
with the best cost / benefit ratio. Ideal for offices and homes, or other spaces
with individual rooms.
The multi-split has a unit installed outdoors and up to 5 indoor units
(may vary with brand).
It also has to be installed by a professional and is similar to air conditioning
of mono split type.
In most cases, you do not have to install all indoor units at once.
Excellent sound level since the compressor is located on the outside.
Depending on the model of the air conditioner, the temperature can be regulated
independent in each division.
Portable, mono-split or muti-split, prefer models with inverter technology.
This technology can vary the speed of rotation of the compressor, adapting its power to the real needs.
That is, it prevents frequent stops and starts, consumes less energy and guarantees less temperature variations.
