A ducted air conditioner provides discrete cooling and heating to homes and buildings of almost any size, from a small two-bedroom apartment to a large multi-storey complex. This type of air conditioning is popular for its features such as its ultra-quiet operation and gentle air distribution, as well as the fact that it provides a complete solution for home climate control in one compact unit.
Air circulates gently throughout the home thanks to a ducted system located in the ceiling, with vents strategically located throughout the home.
A ducted air conditioner works by using refrigerant that flows through the air conditioning system through a small tube, taking heat from the air from one area to another. For example, in the summer when trying to cool a house, the system absorbs heat from the indoor air while the fan blows air through the indoor unit and through the very cold evaporator coil on the refrigerant pipes. This means that the air exits the indoor unit cooler than the inlet air, gradually decreasing the room/house temperature as it circulates through the unit. In winter, the opposite happens: heat is taken from the outside air to heat your home.
When the refrigerant passes through the indoor unit, the indoor unit is heated by internal heat absorption, and then is transported to the outdoor unit for cooling. After going outdoors, the fan is used to blow air around the hot refrigerant coil, transferring part of the heat to the outdoor air. The refrigerant is then cooled by the compressor to condense the refrigerant and release waste heat. The cooled refrigerant is then recirculated through the indoor unit.
