“split type air‑conditioner” means an assembly of components of a refrigeration system fixed on 2 or more mountings to form a matched functional unit;

“split type (inverter) air‑conditioner” means a split type air‑conditioner that employs technologies that vary the output of the compressor, by means other than start‑stop operation;
