On mini-split systems both refrigerant lines must be insulated because they are both:
Low pressure and low temperature in the cooling mode.
Before beginning the installation, the first thing the installing technician should do is:
Read the installation instructions and make a list of materials.
A typical residential split system air conditioner consists of an:
Outdoor condensing unit, an indoor evaporator, and an air handler.
Two common methods for measuring airflow in residential systems are:
Temperature rise or static pressure drop.
The refrigerant lines for single zone mini-split air conditioners are usually connected by:
Flare fittings.
The most reliable source for information regarding system installation is:
The manufacturer's installation manual.
A watertight, flexible electrical cable connecting the system's disconnect to the condensing unit
