split system

A split system typically refers to a system that divides its components into separate parts to enhance efficiency or functionality. In the context of air conditioning, for instance, a split system consists of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is responsible for cooling or heating the air in a room, while the outdoor unit handles the exchange of heat. This design allows for quieter operation indoors and greater flexibility in installation, as the two units can be placed far apart. Split systems are common in homes and commercial spaces for climate control.
