NATE HVAC Support Technician Practice Test

In a split system, where are the condenser and compressor located?

Outdoors, with the evaporator indoors Both the condenser and evaporator located indoors In the attic only In the basement only

Correct Answer:

Outdoors, with the evaporator indoors

Explanation:

In a split system, the outdoor unit houses the condenser and the compressor, while the indoor unit contains the evaporator. The refrigerant is compressed and sent to the condenser outdoors, where heat is rejected to the outside air, and then it travels indoors to the evaporator to absorb heat from the indoor air. This separation keeps the noisy, heat-producing components outside and allows efficient heat transfer to outdoors, with the indoor coil handling cooling of the living space.
