Comparing
Split Air Conditioning (SAC) System vs Central Air Conditioning System(CAC)
Pros
1) Split type air conditioning unit allows flexible hours operation. For example, for
specific room in a building (e.g. server room) requiring 24 hr A/C, the running of the
chiller plant will not be energy efficient;
2) SAC does not involve a chilled water system with a risk of water damage due to
breaking or leakages;
3) SAC allow independent control on indoor temperature comparing with the case of
adopting air handling unit serving zones;
4) It would be a localized problem if SAC is found out of order;
5) SAC requires no water treatment cost as for chilled water pipes and condenser water
pipes;
Cons
1) SAC requires place for accommodation of outdoor units that is always a difficulty in
modern building with curtain walls on all facades;
2) CAC allows the pretreated primary air and use of thermal wheel for recovery of energy
from exhaust air.
