Pace Air Mini Split Air Conditioner 18ACXWHEC

Ductless, mini split-system air-conditioners (mini splits) have numerous potential applications in residential, commercial, and institutional buildings. The most common applications are in multi-family housing or as retrofit add-ons to houses with non-ducted heating systems, such as hydronic (hot water heat), radiant panels, and space heaters (wood, kerosene, propane). They can also be a good choice for room additions and small apartments, where extending or installing distribution ductwork (for a central air-conditioner or heating systems) is not feasible. Like central systems, mini splits have two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser, and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units.

Klimaire 9000btuh 16 SEER inverter mini split ductless a/c air conditioner & heat pump 115V / 60Hz with free installation kit

Still works and heats when the outside temperature falls down to 5o F (-15o C) Klimaire DC Inverter Air Conditioners are the ultimate cooling and heating technology of the HVAC field. They are called DC inverter because the alternative current (AC) is converted to Direct Current (DC) then, direct current inverted back to Alternative current with desired frequency.As known, the current supplied through the wall outlet has fixed frequency which is 60 Hertz. Different frequencies supplied to the compressor will result different running speeds of the compressor.WHAT IS DC INVERTER ? DC Inverter Air Conditioners are the ultimate cooling and heating technology of the HVAC field. They are called DC inverter because the alternative current (AC) is converted to Direct Current (DC) then, direct current inverted back to Alternative current with desired frequency. As known, the current supplied through the wall outlet has fixed frequency which is 60 Hertz. Different frequencies supplied to the compressor will result different running speeds of the compressor. Klimaire Inverter control systems use Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) that is the most advanced and energy efficient method of inverting the current. DC Inverter air conditioners bear special compressors that their speed could be changed by increasing or decreasing the frequency of the supplied power. Therefore, unlike conventional split Air Contioners/Heat Pumps which cycle between on and off repeatedly, the DC Inverter control system will monitor the room temperature and adjust the compressor speed automatically. Conventional compressors turn on and off to maintain the room temperature at desired level. This will result compressor to draw tremendous energy each time it starts up.

SPT WA-9040DE Dual-Hose 9,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner

Newest addition to SPT's Portable AC family Dual Hose System with Self Evaporating Technology. This 9,000btu, 3 in 1 system provides multi-season comfort. Designed to efficiently cool, dehumidify any space without permanent installation. Effectively improves air circulation in poorly ventilated spaces. Dual hose systems provide fast cooling. With one hose for air intake and the other for air exhaust, there is no negative pressure created inside the room. Self Evaporating Technology during the cooling or heating process, water is extracted from the air into the unit. In Cool mode, most of this water is recycled and used to cool the cooling coils. This creates improved cooling efficiently without adding energy cost. The moisture is then pushed out with the exhaust air, leaving you a virtually no drain unit. In extreme humid conditions, if condensation collects faster than the unit can evaporate, the excess water will collect in the built in tank. When the tank becomes full, compressor will automatically shut off and unit will indicate that drainage is needed. Exhaust hose installation required and all standard accessories included. Included plastic slider kit forms up to 6.75 ft.
Customer Review: Poor at drying the air & very cumbersome to move
We have the WA-1220M model of this product (virtually identical). If you stand right in front on it, up to about 5 feet away, it's nice. However, it has several drawbacks: 1. It isn't very good at drying the air; evaporation is needed for effective air-conditioning (whether in your car or your home). 2. It must be drained of the water it does pull from the air, and draining the unit is very cumbersome. It comes with a small flexible plastic tube that has to be connected to the rear bottom of the unit; the other end must be lower in order to drain or the unit really does very little and although there's an indicator light that will come on if the unit is quite full of water, it's very rare that the light comes on (and it only does so LONG after the unit has stopped cooling the air). We have taken to wrapping a large towel around the far end of the tube to collect water that drains, but basically you must tilt the heavy unit backwards to try to drain it. This is not particularly effective but it must be done. 3. It has wheels, but it doesn't roll easily (it's hard to push or pull it in a straight line and the wheels are so small even getting over a low rug is difficult. 4. Moving the unit up or down a single step can be accomplished by one person but since the entire unit is made of very smooth, slippery plastic (it has handles but they're very shallow & not helpful), it's more safely accomplished with two people. 5. Consider that this unit, while mobile, sacrifices a good window seal. The large exhaust hose (which pumps the hot air outside) resembles a telescoping dryer hose that easily falls out of the backside of the unit and is awkward to extend evenly. The unit comes with a smallish piece of foam with a cutout hole for the hose. However, you are left with having to find some way to block the rest of whatever window you choose to put the hole into. We use a large carboard box panel and cut a hole out of, then duct-tape the box into the window opening to block out air seepage. As you can imagine, it looks pretty tacky. We wouldn't buy this again.

Napoleon Mini Split Air Conditioner NCHS9

Covering Your Total Home Comfort Needs Napoleon is proud to introduce their next commitment to your total home comfort with Napoleon Heating and Air Conditioning. Time after time, Napoleon has led the way with new and innovative, patented technology. They are proud to say that their products continuously surpass industry standards and their inspiration is you! More than anything they want you to feel confident in choosing Napoleon for your home. Their products are designed to provide that confidence and ensure that every Napoleon Product is beyond compare. Ductless air conditioners provide a cost effective alternative to installing central air conditioning utilizing ZONE COOLING. Napoleon ductless heat pumps can both heat and cool your home. Multi-zone systems boost cooling areas in other locations of your house for individual room comfort and control. Not only is ductwork not necessary but you control the comfort level by cooling or heating only the room that is being used, thereby keeping the operating costs down. Since hot air naturally rises and accumulates at the top of any room, the indoor unit mounts close to the ceiling using moveable vanes to improve cooling efficiency where it's needed first, while circulating the air for a healthier environment. Heat pumps force hot air to the lowest area of the room. Ductless air conditioners provide a balanced, comfortable environment. Ductless air conditioning is more efficient, quieter and will provide an alternative to a noisy, inefficient window unit. Window air conditioners not only present a security risk, they take up valuable window space, are noisy while operating and often leave you with uncomfortable drafts. Ductless air conditioners provide you with efficient, safe, WHISPERQUIET operation.

Friedrich Mini Split Air Conditioner M27TYF

Three indoor wall-mounted units connected to a single outdoor unit. Cool multiple rooms or use for backup systems in remote areas. Each indoor unit has a remote control and is independently controlled for optimum zone cooling flexibility. The M27TYF Ductless Split System features a new level of system flexibility and control at your fingertips with the Advanced Inverter Technology. Inverter Technology lets you reach the desired temperature FASTER, maintain it MORE ACCURATELY, and REDUCE energy costs. It eliminates the constant compressor start-ups/ shut-downs required to maintain the set temperature with traditional technology. It controls compressor rotation speed precisely and adjusts capacity to meet demand, which in turn reduces energy consumption. Inverter Technology allows each system to adjust capacity and cooling output to provide only the amount of cooling needed at a given time. For example, an 18,000 BTU/h system will operate even more efficiently as a 15,500 if that is all that's needed. All of the Friedrich ductless split systems exceed the new 13.0 SEER requirements. And, a full one-third of the models have super high ratings ranging from 16.5 to 19.0 SEER. Units are fully programmable, so setting and keeping the desired comfort level is a snap.

SPT WA-1230H 12,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote-Control Cooling and Heating

Stay COOL or WARM and breathe fresher air with our 12,000btu units. Ideally cools or heats an area up to 400sq.ft. Effectively improves air circulation in poorly ventilated spaces and maximizes energy efficiency. Uses new UL required LCDI plug. Self Evaporating Technology during the cooling or heating process, water is extracted from the air into the unit. Most of this water is then recycled and used to cool the cooling coils and make it run more efficiently, cooling as well as energy. Continuous drainage highly recommended when using Heating mode. Exhaust hose installation required and all standard accessories included.

Amcor ALD12000E 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

The Amcor ALD 12000E portable air conditioner is designed to fit most average-size rooms up to 400sq.ft. This model also functions as a 65 pint dehumidifier. Self Evaporating Technology - During the cooling process, water is extracted from the air into the unit. Most of this water is then recycled and used to cool the unit and make it run more efficiently. Approximately 65 to 70% of water condensed is evaporated out with the exhaust air, reducing the hassle of emptying the water tank constantly. This unit has a built-in water tank (not removable) with a drain outlet, and a water tube. When the tank fills, the compressor stops operating and the power light will flash. This indicates that the tank should be emptied. Included with the unit is a window and a wall exhaust kit. AC must be vented via exhaust hose (included).
