There's about five types of air conditioning. Cooling only Split-System is a “combination of an indoor air handling unit and an outdoor condensing unit “ (“HVAC systems”). Cooling only Packaged System is a “single unit combining all the components described in the split system ” (“HVAC systems “). This type of system has to be placed outside the building. Heat Pump is a “special valve in the refrigeration piping allow the refrigeration cycle to be operated in reverse ”(“HVAC systems “). Almost like cooling only system but just with the difference is that the system is being reversed. Chilled Water System, “liquid water is pumped throughout the building to “chilled water coils”. Since the liquid water needs to be at a cold temperature, a “cooling plant” is required ” (“HVAC systems “). Window Air Conditioner is “a window air conditioner is typically installed in a window or custom opening in a wall ” (“HVAC systems “). This system is pretty well known and easy to install. Without these different types of systems society wouldn’t be able to have air conditioners that can be installed from the windows or having a vent in the building that gives out heat or cold air.
