Air conditioning without an outdoor unit
Air conditioning without an outdoor unit is referred to as "outdoor air conditioning" or "monobloc air conditioning". This type of air conditioning system has all the necessary components for cooling or heating built into one unit located inside a room or building. In this case, an outdoor unit that would be located outside the building is not used.
How outdoor air conditioning works:
Outdoor air conditioning units work as follows:
Indoor unit: This unit contains a compressor, condenser, evaporator and fan in one device. These components are needed to cool or heat the air in the room.
Evaporator: The evaporator is the component that absorbs heat from the room and allows the refrigerant to change from a liquid to a gaseous state.
Compressor and Condenser: These components compress and heat the refrigerant, which causes heat to be released and thus the refrigerant becomes able to cool the air in the room.
Fan: The fan circulates air through the evaporator and condenser, allowing cool or warm air currents into the room.
Advantages and use of outdoor air conditioning:
Easy Installation: Outdoor air conditioners are much easier to install as there is no need to install an outdoor unit.
Flexibility: These systems can be conveniently installed in different rooms and do not require complicated pipe installation between indoor and outdoor units.
Aesthetics: There is no need to have the outdoor unit on the wall or roof of the building, which can contribute to the aesthetics of the exterior.
Outdoor air conditioning systems are often used in situations where installing an outdoor unit is impractical or technically impossible. These systems can be ideal for smaller rooms, apartments or other situations where air temperature control is required.
