    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Anyone have any experience with these? Any other mini-split system? How about high-velocity systems? I am considering adding a/c to my 1920's hot-water radiator heated house.

The mini-split or ductless systems are advancing more each year. There are systems available where you can have multiple fan coils (individually controlled) hooked to a single variable speed condensing unit. Zoning plus energy savings. Some of the indoor units run on 24VAC which makes placement of the fan coils unlimited. There are limitations on the lineset lengths, work best in homes with large open areas and require linesets to run up exterior walls.

The high-velocity systems work very well and provide better overall cooling. The 3" flex lines are easy to run from the main supply duct. However if it is a 2 story home getting air distributed to the main floor(if air handler is in attic) or 2nd floor(if a/h in basement) requires creativity and some interior remodeling. Unico is the system I have seen in our area.
