Easy construction and installation, can meet the requirements of different working conditions;
Disadvantages:
The initial investment will be higher;
If a fresh air system is required, it is necessary to order external additions;
The length of refrigerant pipe and the height difference between indoor and outdoor units are strictly limited;
It is not applicable to room types with large room depth, small static pressure outside the machine and short air supply distance;
The cooling (heating) capacity of a set of units is limited and cannot meet the air-conditioning requirements of larger rooms;
Key Components for Multi-split Air Conditioners
Compressor: Adjusts speed according to real-time system demand for energy-efficiency management to ensure that the system supplies cooling/heating on demand.
Compressor oil heating tape: Maintains the compressor oil temperature during non-operating conditions to ensure reliability and efficiency when starting up again.
Compressor Discharge Temperature Sensor Package: Monitor the compressor discharge temperature for control and protection of the system to avoid overheating damage.
High pressure switch: when the compressor exhaust pressure exceeds the standard immediately respond to cut off the power supply, to protect the compressor from damage.
Oil separator: effectively separating the oil in the refrigerant gas, maintaining the stability and durability of the compressor operation.
Oil equalizer: further refine the oil and gas separation, to ensure that the whole system runs efficiently and stably.
Check valve: prevent the high pressure gas backflow, to protect the safety of the compressor, while promoting the suction and discharge pressure balance.
High-pressure sensor: real-time monitoring of the system's high-pressure status, to provide data support for compressor protection and system control.
Four-way valve: Realize rapid switching between cooling and heating modes of the indoor unit.
Heat exchanger (condenser): located outside, responsible for discharging system heat to the outside environment.
Fan (fan motor): Enhances the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger and accelerates the heat dissipation or absorption process.
Frost Sensor Package: Specially designed to detect and initiate the defrosting process to ensure the heating effect in winter.
Electronic expansion valve for heating: regulates refrigerant flow in heating mode to optimize heat output.
One-way valve (cooling mode bypass): directs refrigerant bypass in cooling mode, regulates refrigerant flow path.
Subcooler electronic expansion valve: control the degree of subcooling of the liquid tube during cold operation to reduce energy loss.
Supercooler liquid outlet temperature sensing package: monitor the temperature of the liquid tube at the outlet of the supercooler to ensure that the refrigerant is in proper condition.
Gas-liquid separator inlet tube temperature sensing package: detect the temperature before entering the gas-liquid separator to prevent the unit from running wet.
Subcooler gas outlet temperature sensing package: Measure the temperature of the gas side of the subcooler to optimize the system efficiency.
Gas-liquid separator outlet pipe temperature sensing package: monitoring the temperature of the separated gas, feedback to the control system to adjust the compressor working status.
Environment temperature sensing package: sensing the temperature around the outdoor unit, assisting the system to adjust the operation strategy.
Low Pressure Sensor: Monitor the low pressure status of the system to prevent abnormal operation due to insufficient pressure.
Gas-liquid separator: Separate gaseous and liquid refrigerant, to avoid the compressor inhaling liquid refrigerant causing damage.
Unloading valve: balancing the system pressure, preventing local high pressure, to protect the pipeline safety.
Oil return solenoid valve: precise control of compressor oil return, to ensure adequate supply of lubricating oil.
Pressure balancing valve: help the compressor start smoothly, to ensure that the pressure balance at the beginning of the start.
Oil return temperature sensing package: monitoring the temperature of the return oil, to prevent clogging or leakage of the pipeline.
Capillary tube: Utilizing the throttling effect to reduce the refrigerant pressure and control the flow rate.
Subcooler: Enhance the subcooling effect of refrigerant and improve system efficiency.
Filter drier: adsorb water and impurities in the system to protect the system from contamination.
Filter: block impurities into the key components, keep the system clean.
Liquid valve: closed at factory, need to be opened during commissioning, used for refrigerant charging path control.
Low Pressure Measuring Valve: Used for detecting and regulating the low pressure status of the system, as well as refrigerant charging operation.
Air valve: closed at the factory and opened during commissioning, it is another way of refrigerant charging.
Oil check valve: to check the compressor oil quality during maintenance to ensure that the oil quality meets the requirements.
