Multi-split systems are air conditioners with one external unit and 2 to 5 indoor units that are connected in parallel (with two pairs of pipelines).
Multisplit systems are air conditioners for small cottages or large apartments. The distance from the external block to the internal one should not exceed 9-15 m with equal distances between the internal ones (in total no more than 45 m on all highways).
In the internal blocks, there may be blocks of different design, construction and strength, which are indicated in the capacity tables - this creates a modular principle of construction (as in a child’s “constructor set”), and This provides flexibility and ease of use for hairdressers, designers, and installers
