Let us remind you that most air conditioners do not provide an inflow of fresh air (oxygen), but only make sure that the room is kept at a constant temperature. Pros and Cons of such devices are obvious: on the one hand, a user can be sure that the room will be exactly the temperature he/she set at the conditioner. On the other hand, the risk of being in a stuffy (though comfortable in temperature) room increases. After all, a conditioner can work properly only when the windows are closed.
Portable air conditioners have a special pipe for the output of warm air, which must be mounted so that the air goes out the window (in the package with such devices you can often find an adapter for installation). As for condensate, in most cases it evaporates naturally, but in some cases you may need to remove it manually (drain the contents of the container).
Window air conditioner, which is installed directly in a window or in a special opening in the wall, is a separate kind of a monoblock. Just such conditioners were the most popular in the past, it is possible to say that with this construction the “boom of home air-conditioners” began (mainly in the USA). However, today they have considerably yielded their positions.
There are several variants of split-systems, which differ according to their functionality and the way of installation. So, multi-split-systems consist of one outer block and several inner ones, which allows regulating independently the temperature level in each of the premises, where the inner block is installed (though all of them should work in one mode – either for heating or for cooling).
