9.3. Installation of Split Air Conditioning Systems
The installation of a split air conditioning system is a technical task that requires knowledge and skill. However, with a step-by-step guide, you can understand the process and even perform the task yourself. Here is a detailed guide to installing a split air conditioning system.
Step 1: Choose Location
The first step in installing a split air conditioning system is to choose the ideal location for the indoor and outdoor unit. The indoor unit must be installed in an area that allows for even air distribution. The external drive, on the other hand, should be placed in a location where it can dissipate heat efficiently.
Step 2: Install the Internal Drive
Once the location has been chosen, the next step is to install the indoor unit. This involves attaching a wall mount bracket and installing the unit on the bracket. Make sure the stand is level and the unit is secure.
Step 3: Install External Drive
The outdoor unit must be installed on a solid base such as a concrete slab. Make sure the unit is level and secure. The external drive should be placed in such a way that the fan side is facing outwards to allow proper heat dissipation.
Step 4: Install the Connecting Tubes
Connecting tubes are used to connect the indoor and outdoor units. They must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure the tubes are properly insulated to avoid energy loss.

Step 6: Check the System
Once the split air conditioning system has been installed, it is important to check that everything is working properly. This includes verifying that the system is cooling efficiently and that all connections are secure.
In summary, installing a split air conditioning system is a process that requires precision and care. However, with the right guide, you can successfully accomplish this task. Remember, if you don't feel comfortable doing this task, it's always best to hire a professional.
Final Considerations
Although it is possible to install a split air conditioning system on your own, it is important to emphasize that this is a job for professionals. Improper installation can result in device malfunction, excessive power consumption and even system damage. Therefore, if you do not have experience or technical knowledge, it is highly recommended to hire a professional to carry out the installation.
