An inverter air conditioner works by adjusting the compressor speed to regulate the temperature in the room effectively. The outdoor unit, also known as the condenser unit, is responsible for cooling the refrigerant and releasing the heat outside. The indoor unit, or the evaporator unit, is responsible for cooling the air inside the room.
If you do not have an evaporator unit (indoor unit) installed, it means you won't have the complete air conditioning system, and the outdoor unit alone won't be able to provide cooling to a specific room or area. The evaporator unit is essential for the air conditioning process, as it is where the cooling of the air takes place.
If you only have the outdoor unit of an inverter air conditioner and want to use it to cool a particular space, you will need to:
Install an indoor unit: Without an indoor unit, the outdoor unit won't be able to provide cooling to any room. You'll need to contact a professional HVAC technician to install the necessary indoor unit(s) that match the outdoor unit's capacity.
Connect the indoor and outdoor units: Once the indoor unit(s) are installed, the HVAC technician will need to connect the indoor and outdoor units properly. This includes connecting the refrigerant lines, power supply, and communication cables between the units.
Set up the air conditioner: After the installation is complete, the HVAC technician will configure the air conditioner's settings and make sure everything is functioning correctly.
Keep in mind that attempting to use the outdoor unit without a proper indoor unit can lead to inefficient operation, potential damage to the air conditioner, and could void the warranty. Always consult a qualified HVAC professional to install and set up your air conditioning system correctly.
