A mini split is a small heat pump unit used to heat and cool a single room, like a lanai.

Then you run refrigerant piping from the unit to an outside condensing unit. That is why it is called a split system instead of a self contained unit. The heated or cooled air is discharged directly from the wall mounted unit into the lanai with no ductwork required.
