MAIN FEATURES OF THE DUCTLESS SYSTEMS
Principal components:
Outdoor unit (compressor): This system is located outside the building and cools or heats the refrigerant.
Indoor unit (evaporator): It is installed inside the space to be air-conditioned, where the cold or hot air is distributed.
Connecting piping: Indoor and outdoor units are connected by refrigerant-carrying piping and electrical cables, eliminating the need for air ducts.
Zone system: One of the main advantages is that it allows us to control the temperature in different zones or rooms independently. An indoor unit can be installed in each area and controlled individually.
Simple installation: Compared to traditional systems that require ductwork, ductless systems are much easier and faster to install.
Energy efficiency: Ductless systems are highly efficient because they do not lose energy through ducts, as is the case in conventional systems. In addition, they allow adjusting the temperature according to the needs of each space, which can result in considerable energy savings.
Quiet operation: Indoor units are known for their quiet operation, making them ideal for environments where low noise is required, such as bedrooms and offices.
Versatility: Can be used for both cooling and heating. Many ductless systems are reversible, which means they can function as heat pump systems, providing cooling in summer and heating in winter.
Smart control: Modern ductless air conditioning systems are often equipped with smart controls, which allow users to manage climate control through mobile apps, automatic scheduling and integration with other home automation devices.
COMMON APPLICATIONS
Buildings without ducts: Ideal for older buildings that were not designed with air conditioning ducts, avoiding the cost and difficulty of installing them.
Extensions: If adding a room or area to a house or building that does not have access to central air conditioning systems, mini-splits are an excellent solution.
Zone control: Places where different rooms need to be air-conditioned at different temperatures, such as hotels, offices, or large residences, benefit greatly from ductless air conditioning systems.
TYPES OF DUCTLESS SYSTEMS
Mini-split: A mini-split system consists of a single outdoor unit connected to an indoor unit. It is ideal for air-conditioning a single space or a small area.
Multi-split: A multi-split system allows a single outdoor unit to be connected to multiple indoor units. It is perfect for those who want to air-condition several rooms without the need for multiple outdoor units.
PROS AND CONS
Advantages:
High energy efficiency.
Design and installation flexibility.
Space saving, as no large ducts are required.
Independent temperature control in different zones.
Easier to maintain than pipeline systems.
Disadvantages:
Initial cost: Although the installation cost may be lower than a ducted system, mini-splits can be more expensive than window or wall-mounted air conditioners.
Aesthetics: Some people may find wall-mounted indoor units aesthetically unattractive, although modern designs are available that minimise this problem.
Limited range: In very large applications or in multi-storey buildings, it may be less efficient than a centralised duct system.
RECENT TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS
Increased efficiency
Advances in compressor and heat pump technology have enabled ductless systems to improve their seasonal efficiency (SEER), which translates into less energy consumption for the same cooling or heating capacity.
Inverter technology
Modern ductless systems often incorporate inverter technology, which allows them to adjust the speed of the compressor instead of constantly switching on and off. This improves the efficiency and lifetime of the equipment.
Integration with renewable energy
These systems are being integrated with solar energy and other renewable sources, allowing users to harness clean energy to air-condition their spaces, further reducing environmental impact.
Improved aesthetics
The new indoor units are designed with slimmer lines, neutral colours and customisation possibilities to better match the interior décor of homes or commercial buildings.
At INPAL we have a wide variety of residential and commercial applications, especially in situations where duct installation is not feasible or desired. With advances in technology and the trend towards smarter and more efficient systems, mini-splits and multi-splits are gaining popularity as a reliable, comfortable and energy efficient HVAC option.
