I have an LG split aircon unit and matching evaporator. It is 9000BTU.
I also have a spare matching evaporator.
Question is can I split the refrigerant between the two? I appreciate
this is far from ideal and may over work the compressor. But in the UK
climate it would not be worked that hard. I could ensure that only one
is used at a time?
Views appreciated - thanks

Be interesting to attempt it. How do you plan on switching the the
refrigerant line between the two?

And to what advantage? Save a few bucks on parts? I suppose it could
work, if valved properly and such. But, I doubt it would be practical.

No, you can not split the refrigerant between the two. Can you run
each individually? Probably. You'd have to make each circuit exactly
the same and be able to isolate/interlock each circuit, electric,
controls, refrigerant lines, etc. I don't recommend it unless you are
or have someone that is good with control circuits and refrigeration
theory.
