These mini-split condensers are also called ductless air conditioner systems. A mini-split air conditioner can also provide heating with electric heat in the air handler section or if the condenser is also a heat pump. Heat pumps, whether they are mini-split systems, regular split systems, or package units use the process of refrigeration to provide heating and cooling. A mini-split air conditioner can be either just an air conditioner or a heat pump system. Mini-splits, whether they are heat pumps or just cool only, are commonly used in applications where it is difficult or impossible to run duct work.
Some office buildings utilize mini-splits as well as other types of applications. Mini-splits are also widely used in Europe and Asia in place of regular full size ducted split systems or package units. There some models of HVAC mini-split condensers which allow multiple ductless air handlers to attached to a single HVAC mini-split condenser. This allows a single HVAC mini-split condenser to serve multiple ductless air handler zones in different spaces. Some of these HVAC mini-split condensers have two compressors or a single compressor will have the ability to unload so that when the demand is only fifty percent or less the system will only provide fifty percent capacity.
