Have you ever imagined stepping inside your home's front door after a monotonous and boring day at office amidst humid summer air and feeling the cool flow of air from your AC enveloping you in an amazing state of comfort? A great thought, no?

Most of us make use of air conditioner but do not possess any knowledge when it comes to its functioning. Let us study the processes and sub-processes involved in the air-conditioning process. An air conditioner makes use of the evaporation of varied coolants such as Freon to create cool air. The compression unit of the AC compresses the cool Freon gas and the evaporation cycle is initiated. The coolant is then mixed with some oil that helps in the lubrication process of the compressor and the resultant compression gives rise to hot and high-pressured gas.

After this, the gas is propelled through the coils' series where its heat is dissipated and is condensed into the form of a liquid. The coolant is then moved through an expansion valve to become a low-pressured and cold gas. Thereafter, the gas is passed through another coils' set allowing it to absorb the heat, besides cooling down the air inside your warm and humid home. The fans placed near these coils then help in propelling the hot air in an outside direction and moving the cool air in an inside direction.

Now that we have learnt some lessons about the functioning of the air conditioners, let us now move to the advantages of a split AC.

There are many benefits of opting for a split air conditioner, such as:

* Easy installation
* Cost effective
* Efficient design
* Easy maintenance
* Super quiet operation
* High-energy efficiency
* Aesthetic appearance
* User-friendly remote operation
* No "seasonal" window re-installation required
* Improved in-door air quality due to multi-stage filtration

Now, let us have a look at some of the eminent air-conditioning brands and products to get a better overview of the prevailing market trends. Voltas and Samsung are two of the biggest names in the world of air conditioning products. The Voltas 0.75 Vertis Plus 2 Star, Voltas 1.0 Vertis Premium 1 Star and Voltas 1.0 Vertis Plus 2 Star are some of the most successful products in the current day market. These Voltas Split ACs are high on their quality, consistency, affordability and performance.

However, while selecting a high-quality yet cheap split AC, you must consider some factors such as warranty, air conditioning capacity, budget flexibility, price, brand name and substitute products. This will help you to get a fair and reasonable deal.
