How a split air conditioning unit works
An air conditioning unit consists of two parts: one part attached outside (the outer part) and one part that stays inside the room, the inner part. The job of the air conditioning unit is to transport heat from one part to the other, with the 'cooling agent’ acting as the transport medium.
Inside, the inner part provides the perfect air quality, outside the heat is led away through the outer part. The inner and outer parts are connected with pipes.

Cooling:
In the outer part the compressor compresses the vapour-generating cooling agent to a high temperature and high pressure. This gas then flows through a heat exchanger, cooled by the outside air and liquefied. The cooling agent then decompresses in the expansion valve to a low pressure and low temperature of around 0°C, before it ends up in the inner part via the connecting pipes. In the inner part, it condenses in a heat exchanger in which it cools and dehumidifies the room air. The cold cooling agent vapour then flows back to the compressor in the outer part.

Cooling and heating:
One installation, dual purpose: Airwell inverter air conditioning units with heat pump provide a perfect cooling system, but in the transitional seasons of spring and autumn, they can also be extremely efficient heaters. In cooling mode, the air conditioning unit takes the heat out of the room and transports it outside. In heating mode, the cold air system is simply reversed – the warm mass extracted from the outside air is pumped inside. So that warm air can be distributed, the cold air system needs to be reversed: the heat pump component extracts heat from the outside air and sends it into the building via the inside heat exchanger. In this context, the term ‘heat’ is relative: an outside temperature of 2°C is bound to be considered cold, but the air still contains enough heat for the heat pump to generate warm air for the room.

Comfort at the touch of a button:
The small, convenient Airwell LCD infrared remote control maximises your comfort. With the remote control, you can program the three vent levels, night-time use, dehumidification, the temperature-controlling ’I feel’ feature, and more. Just press the temperature button to change the automatically controlled room temperature. It’s also time-programmed: for example, before you leave the house in the morning, use the standby feature to program your Airwell unit to come on at 6pm. When you come home in the evening the house is already at the temperature you set.
