Re: [MBZ] Mini split

That looks basically like a window unit for one room but with the condenser unit outside and one head unit for inside.  It's probably about 5k BTU which is kinda window unit output.  And if it runs on 110V it ain't gonna do much.  Probably some cheepchinee thing, might work OK for awhile but I

Re: [MBZ] Mini split

I see these weird, off brand mini-splits around here all the time. Cheap as wine, but you have to wonder where they came from and who really made them. I think either Floyd or Mitch have done some digging into brands as to who makes some of them. -D > On Dec 13, 2020, at 11:25 AM, Kaleb

Re: [MBZ] Mini Split HVAC

You mean accumulator? Some outdoor units have filter/dryers in them, but receiver/dryers like you might see in a car aren't commonly there. Few A/C units and not all heat pumps have accumulators. Mine (heat pump) has a suction line accumulator in it to keep liquid from entering the compressor

Re: [MBZ] Mini Split HVAC

Well it is all in the unit outside, call it what you want, my guy called it the condenser unit, and that whole unit has the gas tank and controller and fans and compressor and whatever else inside the box.  The indoor head unit just blows out hot or cold whenever you tell it you want hot or

Re: [MBZ] Mini Split HVAC

Bt!The condenser is the coil on the outside of the building. What you mean is that you then open the valve on the receiver (tank). The receiver, compressor, condenser and blower (fan), along with some controls (relay, capacitors, etc) are located outide the building in one covered

Re: [MBZ] Mini Split HVAC

That makes sense. I was just trying to understand where the gas was being held until it flooded the system. Should I choose to do this, I’ll be able to run very short lines. My condenser will be on the other side of the exterior wall from the evaporator at ground level, maybe 6 feet below

Re: [MBZ] Mini Split HVAC

I'm not sure I understand that explanation, so I'll throw in my own. The condenser unit (the outdoor unit) comes filled with gas.  You hook up your lines to the condenser and the head unit(s), there is a tap on the condenser to attach a vacuum to.  So you pull the vacuum which evacuates all

Re: [MBZ] Mini Split HVAC

It is sealed in the receiver. This is the way all commercial systems are moved. Close the receiver outlet. Pump the system dry, close the receiver inlet valve. Open and cap the lines. move. reinstall. pull vacuum. open receiver valves. In your case, foe a new one, you only need the last

Re: [MBZ] Mini Split HVAC

If I was to do this, the exterior unit would be right outside where the interior unit would be, so I don’t think I would need anything other than the stock line set. I would need to run a 120 or 240 line over from the distribution panel, which is on the opposite wall. Attic is easily

Re: [MBZ] Mini Split HVAC

Scott will have to come online and tell you what he knows but I will chime in anyway. I installed AC in my house in about 1984 using a system that came precharged. I hooked up the outside unit to electric power and installed the coil in the furnace plenum and ran the precharged copper pipes

Re: [MBZ] Mini Split HVAC

I”m curious - how are the lines precharged, and how do you pull a vacuum without releasing the refrigerant? I could easily do this myself, as I’ve got all the tools. I see a 12,000 BTU 240VAC split for a little over $600. I can justify that. -D > On Oct 3, 2017, at 4:19 PM, Scott Ritchey
