Split Heat Pump Systems
Split Heat Pump Systems
The Heat Pump People offer the finest in heating and cooling systems which are made up of two predominant systems: sing le room and multi-room systems . We explore these two systems in the article below.
Single Room Heat Pump
Their Use
A single room heat pump provides a heating and cooling solution to one specific area or room such as a bedroom, lounge or main living area.
Their Construction
Single room systems have an internal and external unit. The external outdoor unit contains a compressor, which is located outside. The internal unit contains electrical controls and, depending on the setting of the unit, a fan which cools and heats by circulating air. The internal unit is mounted either on the floor or high on the wall inside the home or area. A cassette unit may also be a one room option (cassette sits in the ceili ng and has an outdoor unit, though less common in a residential setting they are an option)
The Two Styles
Single room heating and cooling systems come in two main styles: wall-mounted and floor console. Mention cassette systems?
Wall mounted heat pumps are positioned high on the wall so as not to disturb the rest of the room. They come in a range of styles and produce minimal noise. All in all, they are efficient and unobtrusive.
Floor consoles are mounted on the floor and can be recessed into the wall for minimum impact on the space.
Their Benefits
For someone looking to heat or cool only one room or area, the split system room heating system provides a great solution. It is energy efficient, fast and has a variety of available styles.
Multi-Systems
Their Use
Multi-systems are ideal for buildings which require the te mperature control of multiple rooms with individual control s in each room .
Their Construction
Multi-split systems operate in the same way that single split systems do. Their difference is that they have more than one indoor head.
A multi-split system can also combine a variety of air conditioning units, including wall, floor and ceiling mounted .
The Main Styles
Multi-systems come in two main styles: ducted heat pumps and VRF and VRV systems.
This is incorrect terminology. A multi-system
does not include ducted or VRVs etc. a multi-system is as I described above. What is being listed h
ere are multi-room options rather than multi-systems which is a specific product
.
A ducted heat pump is ideal for both home and commercial spaces. A single interior unit is fitted either into the ceiling or under the floor and air is driven through insulated ducts to vents to provide air conditioning. It may
also
Be
link
ed to a fresh air ventilation system
.
The benefits of the ducted heat pump is that all hardware is out of sight, and yet the system still offers zone control options
(d
epending on the system purchased)
, so control over
the
degree in
which
rooms
are
heated and cooled is available.
A VRF (variable refrigerant flow) or VRV (variable refrigerant volume) air conditioning system is recommended for larger commercial spaces. They provide both heat pump and heat recovery and allows them to provide heating and cooling simultaneously to different areas, which is why they are ideal for large spaces with lots of rooms.
Their Benefits
Multi-systems are useful for buildings with limited ducting or outdoor space as they are able to be connected and controlled individually to maintain individual temperatures in each room.
