• Window
• Split
• Packaged
• Central
• Heat pumps
• Evaporative coolers
1. Window
• All components are enclosed in a single
box
• Most commonly used and cheapest type
• Cool rooms rather than the entire home
• Units are reliable and simple-to-install
• Capacity up to 5 tons
• Less expensive to operate than central
units
• Their efficiency is generally lower than
that of central air conditioners
• Can be plugged into any 15- or 20-amp,
115-volt household circuit that is not
shared with any other major appliances
2. Split Type
• The split air conditioner
comprises of two parts the
outdoor unit and the indoor
unit.
• Outdoor unit consists of
compressor, condenser and
expansion valve.
• Indoor unit consists of
evaporator or cooling coil and
cooling fan.
• The split air conditioner can be
used to cool one or two rooms.
3. Packaged Type
• They are used where the cooling loads
extend beyond 20 tons
• cooling multiple rooms or a large space
in your home or office
• All the components are housed in a
same box
• (A) Cooled air is thrown by the high
capacity blower, and it flows through the
duct laid through various rooms.
• (B) Compressor and condenser are
housed in one casing. The compressed
gas passes through individual units,
comprised of the expansion valve and
cooling coil, located in various rooms.
• 2 types PACS- air/ water cooled
4. Central
• Circulate cool air through a system of supply and return
ducts. Supply ducts (i.e., openings in the walls, floors, or
ceilings covered by grills) carry cooled air from the air
conditioner to the home.
• This cooled air becomes warmer as it circulates through the
home; then it flows back to the central air conditioner
through return ducts.
• This unit is used primarily to cool big buildings, houses,
offices, entire hotels, factories, etc. The central air
conditioning system is comprised of a huge compressor that
has the capacity to produce hundreds of tons of air
conditioning. If you have a big area to cool, central air
conditioning may be the only way to go.
4. Cental-2 types of cooling systems
• Direct Cooling system
• Chilled water system
