Choosing an air conditioner is a bit cofusing thing for the people who don't have any idea about air conditioning systems. In this article I will share a very useful information which will help anyone to choose best air conditioner according to their place.
1. Split Air conditioner :- Splti air conditioner consists of two parts one is indoor unit and other is outdoor unit. Indoor unit is hanged on the wall of a room and outdoor is placed or fixed outside the conditoned space. Split air conditioner consumes more power and electricity bills can empty your pocket. Because of long pipe runs cycle of refrigeration system becomes longer and it increases the load on compressor. Split air conditioner has less longer life and chances of leakage of gas are also high because of more joints in copper pipe at the time of installation. Split air conditioner is good for office area as it does not create sound. High installation and maintenance cost.
Installation process-
1.1. Distance between outdoor and indoor unit connecting copper pipes should not be more than recommended in my opinion not more that 5 meters.
1.2. Indoor unit should be fixed on the wall at a height not more than 5feet 6inch and it should be in the exact center of the wall horizontally.
1.3. Drain pipe should not be droped to an open area without U-trap.
1.4. Outdoor unit should not be placed on the roof directly exposed to sun. If possible choose north wall for the hanging of outdoor unit as effect of sunshine in this direction is less as compared to other directions.
1.5. Out door unit should be hanged considering ease in maintenance for the technician.
1.6. For outdoor units there should not be any wall or obstruction near it to a distance of 3 meter in each direction.

2.3. It can only be installed in a window because condenser side is always kept outside to release the heat in atmosphere. If its kept inside a room it will produce heating and cooling in same amount and after some time it will stop working because of less air circulation arround the condenser.
2.4. Window air conditioner should be installed in a window in such a way that no gap remain between AC body and window. It should be properly air sealed so that cooling lose may not happen.
