1. What is Multi Air Conditioning?
Multi Air Conditioning is a type of air conditioning where one outdoor unit can connect to multiple indoor units (around 3 – 5 indoor units). This air conditioning product line effectively solves the issue of limited aesthetics and space for installing separate conventional air conditioning units (1 unit consists of: outdoor unit + indoor unit), some even with large-sized outdoor units.

Depending on the number of indoor units, Multi Air Conditioning can be divided into:
- Multi Air Conditioning with 1 outdoor unit and 2 indoor units
- Multi Air Conditioning with 1 outdoor unit and 3 indoor units
- Multi Air Conditioning with 1 outdoor unit and 4 indoor units
- Multi Air Conditioning with 1 outdoor unit and 5 indoor units

Multi Air Conditioners differ from conventional ones with multiple indoor units and individual control. Each room can enjoy independent cooling, akin to using a regular wall-mounted unit.

Calculating the Most Accurate Capacity for Multi Air Conditioners
While Multi Air Conditioners are widely used, not everyone knows how to select the appropriate power consumption for their home, office, or business space.
To calculate the capacity of Multi Air Conditioners, you need to determine the cooling capacity of each room. Here are some factors to consider:
- Determining Required Capacity for Various Room Sizes
Calculating Outdoor Unit Capacity
Outdoor Unit Capacity = Total Indoor Unit Capacity
For instance, in a three-bedroom apartment with one room measuring 15m2 and another measuring 30m2, the total indoor unit capacity is 33,000 BTU (9,000 BTU + 24,000 BTU). Thus, the outdoor unit of the Multi Air Conditioner must have a capacity of approximately 33,000 BTU.
However, the Multi Air Conditioner operates with a non-simultaneous system (meaning the indoor units do not operate simultaneously) along with an exceptional connection ratio. The outdoor unit can connect to indoor units with a total capacity of around 130% of its own capacity. Therefore, with a capacity of 33,000 BTU, opting for an outdoor unit with a capacity of just over 25,600 BTU is sufficient. This can significantly save on investment costs.

If the indoor units operate simultaneously, the system can still function normally, albeit with a longer cooling time.
In this article, Mytour.vn has introduced the concept, structure, and calculation of Multi air conditioner capacity to you. Hopefully, with this valuable information, you will be able to choose a Multi air conditioning system that is both convenient, efficient, and cost-effective. This will help improve the quality of life and reduce negative impacts such as emissions into the surrounding environment.
