Anyone sell a Mini-Split w/ top Discharge??

[David40]

All of the mini-split A/C systems I have installed require mounting the indoor unit high on the wall because the discharge is near the bottom. I have a situation in a small office where there is no bare wall space on upper two thirds of the walls or windows are in the way.
I suggested a regular wall mount A/C but they need a unit that is totally silent and I don't know of any wall A/C that runs as quitely as a Mini.
Does anyone know of a mini-split system where the indoor unit discharges out near the top so it can be mounted low on the wall?
Thanks for any suggestions or advice.

Look at the EMI consoles or Multi Aqua line of cmpact chillers

Thanks, The EMI looks promising, but there does not seem to be a distributor in my area.

Have a look at a Daikin, Fujitsu etc console unit for a floor mounted mini split system.

Wow, Sid Harvey? I didn't think they were still around. They closed down over fifteen years ago in this area. They were a good supply house and I remember I was very sad to see them go.

Of course condensate can be pumped up so thats a red herring. However they arent designed to be installed low down especially in cooling mode it will be uncomfortable. Cooling normally directs the cold air high across the room and it falls creating the comfort. A true wall mount accomplishes the same blowing upwards directly something a mini cant do.

True it's less than ideal but I did find units from both Fujitsu and EMI that are designed to blow up from low on the wall. Besides that I always recommend the use of ceiling fans which ends up destroying any natural convection anyway.
I also thought of those units I have seen in motels mounted on the floor under the window next to the doorway. They seem to do the job well, but again, they make almost as much noise as a regular wall unit.

Would you have the fans in reverse or blowing down as surely if they are blowing down they create a further draught.
