DUCTABLE A.C.
 A Ducted Air Conditioner Consists Of Two
Units—an Indoor Unit Typically Installed In The
Ceiling, And An Outdoor Unit. The Two Units
Work Together To Perform A Refrigeration
Cycle, With Conditioned Air Circulated And
Delivered Via A Series Of Ducts And Vents. It’s
Usually The Ideal System For Larger Buildings,
Due To Its Efficiency And Ease Of Control.
 Through The Ducts, It Keeps Heating And
Cooling Each Of Your Room Individually. This Is
Called Zoning. The Thermostat Present On The
Wall Will Allow You To Select The Preferable
Temperature And Other Settings.
DUCTABLE A.C WORKING :
 Ducted Air Conditioning Is A
Refrigerated Cooling System That
Uses Refrigerant To Change Air
Temperature. Refrigerant Is A
Substance That Can Easily
Change Between Gas And Liquid,
And As It Goes Through This
Process, It Changes
Temperature. The Ducted System
Uses This Temperature Change
To Cool Or Heat Air That It Pulls
From The House.
 The Main Components Of
Refrigerated Cooling Systems Are
Evaporators, Compressors, And
Condensers. When On Cooling
Mode, A Simplified Version Of
The Refrigeration Process In A
Ducted System Works As
Follows:
Evaporator: Warm Air Is Extracted
From Your Home With A Blower,
Which It Transfers Through Ducts To
The Evaporator Coils In The Indoor
Unit. These Coils Contain Cold, Low-
pressure Refrigerant Which Absorbs
The Heat From The Warm Air, And
Turns It Into A High-pressure Gas. As
The Warm Air From Your House Blows
Over The Evaporator Coils, It
Becomes Cool, And Is Delivered Back
To The House Through
Vents/Diffusers In The Ceiling.

Compressor: The High-pressure Refrigerant Gas Flows Through To The Compressor In The
Outdoor Unit. The Compressor Pressurizes The Gas, Which Condenses It Into A Liquid.

Condenser: The Liquid Flows Through To The Condenser’s Coils, Also In The Outdoor Unit.
A Fan Blows Over The Coils, Which Dissipates Some Of The Heat From The Liquid
Refrigerant Inside. The Liquid Then Passes Through An Expansion Valve, Which
Depressurizes And Cools It Even More, Before Being Passed Back To The Evaporator To
Repeat The Cycle.
 A DUCTABLE SPLIT AIR CONDITIONER IN WHICH THE AIR FROM THE INDOOR UNIT IS
PASSED INTO THE ROOM THROUGH DUCTING (WHICH CAN BE IN CIRCULAR , OVAL ,
RECTANGLE SHAPE).IN EACH ROOM BY SUPPLY GRILL.WHICH IS INSTALLED ON THE
CEILING OR WALL OF THE ROOM.THEN,THE RETURN AIR IS COLLECTED FROM THE
ROOM AND IS PASSED BACK TO THE RETURN AIR GRILL WHICH IS INSTALLED ON THE
CEILING OF THE ROOF.

 Other Components Of A Ducted Air Conditioning System Include:

1. The Return Air Grille: This Is Where Air Is Pulled Into Your Home.
2. Filter: The Filter Is Located In The Return Air Grille, And Helps To
Filter Dust, Dirt, And Other Pollutants.
3. Thermostat: The Thermostat (Or Sensor) Measures The
Temperature Of The Area Being Conditioned, Allowing The System
To Adjust If Necessary.
4. Thermostatic Expansion Valve: It Regulates Refrigerant Flow To
Carter Variation In Heat Load And Make System Efficient.
Ducted Air Con Is A Type Of Central Air Conditioning That Uses Ducts To Channel Air
Throughout The System. With The Use Of Ducts, The System Is Able To Reach Different
Areas Of The Home, Which Are Called Zones. In A Larger Property, You Might Have Four
Different Zones—one For The Main Living Area, One For The Kitchen, One For The Master
Bedroom, And One For A Smaller Bedroom. Through Zones We Can Control The
Temperature Of The Room.
HOW DUCTED A.C DRAIN WORKS ?
 The Water Produced By Air Conditioner Is The Condensation Build Up From The
Evaporator Coil. The Units Change Over Between Heating And Cooling, The
Condensation Can Be Formed By Either The Indoor OR Outdoor Unit. When Unit Is
Cooling, Water Is Formed At The Indoor Unit. The Science Of Condensation Water
Formation Is Simple; The Air Conditioning Coil Drops In Temperature In Order To Absorb
Heat (Making The Air Cold), This Causes The Temperature Of That Coil To Fall Below The
Dew Point Of The Air. As The Temperature Drops Below The Dew Point The Water Vapor
In The Air Liquefies Causing Water To Form. This Is Exactly The Same As A Cold Water
Bottle Becoming Wet Once Removed From The Fridge.

WHERE DOES THE WATER GO ?

 The Water That Air Conditioning Unit Produces Needs To Go Somewhere Or It Will
End Up With A Water Feature Pouring Through The Ceiling. The Water From The
Indoor Unit Needs To Be Efficiently Drained Away. These Drains Are Installed From
The Indoor Unit And Generally Run Into The Roof Gutters. Most Drains Use Gravity
To Remove Water.
