    Re: split units with fresh air

    Some years back, I have seen local mini splits with a punch off hole at the back for resh air.
    I dont think they make them any more but what it more simple then making a small hole in the wall and install the smallest fan for fresh air.

    Re: split units with fresh air

    It's very difficult to get a wall mounted split that can take a direct fresh air input but most make of cassettes or ducted units have this facility.

    One thing to remember though is to not introduce more than 10% by volume of fresh air (against the rated unit air volume) into the unit or you will decrease the unit's capacity (heating or cooling)

    Re: split units with fresh air

    Another thing to be wary off when using a fresh air addition to a wall mount is filtration.

    Whenever I have come across units with fresh air ducted to them the coils have been in a terrible state because of the lack of proper filters fitted to the fresh air supply system.

    Use energy recovery ventilator is a good choice. Split unit with fresh air make the system more complicated,it's not a good idea.

    Re: split units with fresh air

    Marc is right, Hitachi do have two models generically named the 'air-exchanger' they bring in more than the Panasonic models, but it depends on how much fresh air yu wish to introduce. Don't expect 12l/s.
