I have three split systems, each condenser has its own evaporator. The condensing units are all located in the pump room side by side fed with one pump via a manifold but all have their own outlet These are Marineair / Cruiseair units.
All three systems have failed over the past year or so. Aside from all leaking R22? those wonderful crap steel pans they mount them on are totally rusted out. I want to replace them but have a couple of questions:
Besides redundancy, can anyone advise me why one would prefer a separate condenser unit for each evaporator versus a single large condenser for all?
Would there be any advantage to replacing them with 220V condensers versus 120V units.
I note Split systems are substantially more expensive then the integrated units, if I were to replace them with integrated units is there any reason I couldn't use my existing pump setup?
What refrigerant would one prefer or avoid in the new systems?
Sorry for all the questions, any thoughts much appreciated
