1. CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING:

Of all the various sorts of air conditioners, this is often the foremost common sort of cooling
system because it is the most preferable for larger homes thanks to its ability to cool
efficiently.

Supply ducts and registers, which are within the wall or floors, carry cooled air into the
house. Then, once the air becomes warm it circulates back to the availability of ducts and
registers where it'll then be transported back to the air conditioning.

2. DUCTLESS, MINI-SPLIT AIR CONDITIONER:

Ductless, mini-split systems are commonest in parts of the house that are retrofitted. Like
central air-con systems, these systems have an outside compressor/condenser and an inside
handling unit.

If you’re looking to chill individual rooms in your house, this technique could be only for
you.

3. WINDOW AIR CONDITIONER:

Think of a window air conditioning as a compact unit, cooling just one particular room.
Window units cool an area be emitting the nice and cozy air out the rear of it and blowing
cool air into it. These sorts of units are best for those that sleep in small spaces. It would not
be ideal for a bigger home as you'll discover that it doesn’t cool efficiently therein a quiet
environment.

4. PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER:

Portable air conditioners are considered because of the next generator of window units. This
type of air-con unit takes in air from the space and cools it, then directs it back to space. The
unit then vents any warm air outside using an exhaust hose that's installed during a window.
Like window air-con units, portable air conditioners are designed to cool just one room.
They’re easy to put in, versatile, and a reasonable option.

1.5 ton split air conditioners.

The technology used in Air-Conditioners can be broadly divided in Inverter and Non-
Inverter based technology.

These basically are the way your compressor performed either on fixed speed or variable
speed that helps you save electricity

The kind of AC can be divided in :

Individual Room Air-Conditioner:

 Window AC
 Split AC
 Cassette or Ceiling Mounted AC

Some Types of Air Conditioner

Air Conditioner:

Air Conditioner is the Process of transferring heat from a confined space by cooling the air
and remove humidity. Everyone wonder how an air conditioner works? To cool room
inside, Air Conditioner uses coolant units called chlorofluorocarbons (they made of chlorine,
fluorine, and carbon). This coolant unit in AC easily converts from a gas to liquid and vice-
versa. They help in transferring the heat from inside air to the outside air. To make all these
heat transfers possible the AC machine use evaporator, condenser, and compressor. These
parts are standard for all types of Air Conditioner.

Types of Air Conditioner:

 Split Air Conditioner:

Most prefer Split air conditioner since installation bitter easy while comparing with other
types of AC. Split Ac has two units in which one sits inside the room, and the other group
called compressor outside the chamber. Some Split Ac model comes with multiple indoor
units that use the single compressor. The primary two main parts are the Indoor unit and
outdoor unit. The outdoor unit is installed neatly the outside wall or the space that you wish
to cool. The unit Consist of the compressor, condenser coil, and expansion coil. The indoor
unit contains the cooling coil, a great bowler, and an air filter. Many modern technologies
have been used to inside the air conditioner to transfer the heat and make the room cold.

 Window Air Conditioner:

Window air conditioner installed in an open door. The air inside is cooled as the fan blows
it over the evaporator. On the other hand, the heat drawn from inside is dissipated into the
environment as the second fan blows air outside over the condenser. They also called as
room air conditioner. Window Air Conditioner is designed in such a way to cool a single
room and easy to install. In case, for cooling a single chamber, window air conditioner be
used.

 Packaged Air Conditioner:

Packaged Air Conditioner is a bigger version of the window air conditioner. Thay has
higher version of cooling or heating capacity. Packaged air conditioner can cool an entire
house or a commercial building. The package unit is all in one cooling and heating system
for homes or building that don't have a lot of indoor rooms. The packaged air conditioner is
placed outside the home or in some particular room. Packaged air conditioner fit by skilled
 technicians. Find an experienced technician to fit this type of air conditioner without any
damage.

 Central Air Conditioner:

The Central air conditioner is the method of structural cooling. The air before circulating
through the whole building cools the centralized unit and makes dehumidified. This type
of air conditioner seen in high structures or hot climates. The main air is located in outdoors
because a high noise produced during the refrigeration cycle that cools the air and helps
extract humidity. The unit connects to duct-work that runs throughout the building. AC also
goes through outdoor o get rid of excess heat and moisture.

Conclusion:

As each air conditioner types has their features, it 's hard to install and service them in a
case of repair. Thus we must select the best technician with the experienced hand. They may
understand the repairs and service them with the best comfort. There are many repair
services, one of the best services is Ab Service. They provide more reliable service at their
best with customer satisfaction. Their experienced technicians install all types of the air

There are mainly 4 types of Air Conditioner available in market.

 Window Air Conditioner : This is the more suitable option for cooling single
room and this is the most-cost effective option as compare to other types.

 Split Air Conditioner : This type of AC is suitable for mainly 1 or 2 room and it
contains 2 unit which includes compressor which is installed out side of the house
and and another one is for indoor, which includes evaporator coil and cooling fan.

 Packaged Air Conditioner : The cooled air is passed by the high capacity
blower, and it flows through the ducts laid through various rooms. In the second
arrangement, the 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.
  Central Air Conditioning System : 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.

purchasing an Air Conditioner is not a big deal but maintaining it is very difficult task to do.
If you miss any point for maintaining your air conditioner, it may be possible you will face
big problem in coming future. Better to appoint good A. C. repairing service provider for
long lasting electronic relation.

Choosing the right type of air conditioner is very important, which should be based on your
need, budget, and energy consumption. There are 5 types of air conditioner :

1-Central Air: Central air conditioning (or central A/C) is a system wherein air is cooled at a
central area and conveyed to and from rooms by at least one fans and ventilation work.
Crafted by the air conditioner blower is the thing that makes the entire procedure of air
conditioning conceivable. The pressure of the refrigerant gas empowers it to release heat
out of the house, which is the manner by which the cool air is made.

2-Ductless Mini-Split: A ductless mini-split system is comprised of two principle parts: the
indoor air taking care of the unit and the open air blower/condenser. Ductless smaller than
normal split heat pumps, otherwise called "split air conditioner" and "zoned HVAC," are a
sort of warming and cooling system that needn't bother with any channels to condition the
air.
 3-Window AC: A window air conditioner, otherwise called a window ac or a room air
conditioner, is intended to cool a single room and can be a decent, simple to introduce
alternative if a focal air conditioner system isn't practical or on the off chance that you need
to cool a single room instead of the entire house.

4-Wall Mounted AC: Wall air conditioners are like window units yet they are introduced
through a wall rather than a window. This sort of air conditioner does not block windows.
Progressively secure establishment implies less rattling and different commotions amid
activity than you will have with a window unit. Gives cooling to singular territories and it is a
minimal effort option in contrast to central air.

5-Portable AC: Portable air conditioners are perfect for the individual who inclines toward a
simple and impermanent establishment. Portable air conditioning units can be effectively
dismantled and folded away into a storeroom for capacity or even moved to another space
for snappy cooling if necessary. Portable air conditioner units are well known amid
heatwaves and sweltering summers, but bigger isn't in every case better.

Air conditioners come in 5 main types, and use different types of technologies.

Ducted systems

Ducted systems operate through your entire area from a series of ducts. They are efficient,
quiet, and if installed in zones so you can turn different areas on or off depending on your
needs. They have three components - an outdoor section, an indoor section in your roof
space and a zone control box.

Split-system air-conditioners

There is a wide range of choice in terms of capacity here, and they can be either cooling
only or reverse cycle models (see technology below) to heat and cool. There are two
components - the compressor/ condenser section outside the home and the 'head' unit that
has the evaporator inside, circulating air.

Multi-headed split systems

This is the same as a split system but there are more 'heads' in different rooms, and you can
adjust each 'head's' temperature. Usually between two and seven heads are installed.

Individual Room Air Conditioners (RAC)

 With this type, everything is together and the air-conditioner is installed through an
opening in a wall or a window.

Portable units

These are mounted on wheels to be moved between rooms or packed away in the winter.
They are most effective as spot coolers rather than full room air conditioners because they
are generally not as effective as other types, and because the ducts must be put outside
(usually through a window) this means that hot air is also constantly entering the area.

Having to pick a new ac system for your home can be a difficult and confusing time.
Considering all the various kinds of air conditioners on the current market, the possibilities
might appear overwhelming. Based on your situation, you may even be under a time limit
and have to opt for a new system shortly.

CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING:

of all of the various kinds of air conditioners, this is the most typical type of cooling system
because it's by far the most preferable for bigger homes due to its capacity to cool
effectively. Central air conditioners circulate cool air through supply and return ducts.
Supply ducts and registers, which can be from the walls or flooring, take cooled air into the
house. Then, once the air becomes warm it circulates back into the supply ducts and
registers where it will then be transported back into the air conditioner.
Installing a central ac system asks a lot of planning and preparation as sizing is vital to the
functionality of the system. Should you put in a system that's of the incorrect size, even if it's
energy efficient, then you'll find your utility prices are more than they ought to be.

DUCTLESS, MINI-SPLIT AIR CONDITIONER:

Ductless, mini-split systems are common in parts of the home that have been retro-fitted.
Like central air conditioning systems, these systems have an outdoor compressor/condenser
and a indoor managing unit.

If you're searching to cool individual rooms your residence, this system may be just for you.
Many ductless, mini-split systems can have as many as four indoor managing units, which
are connected to the outdoor unit.

Each zone has its own thermostat, letting you adjust the temperature for each room
accordingly. This is especially advantageous if you are wanting to cool only a particular
region of the house that is being used.

WINDOW AIR CONDITIONER:

Think of a window air conditioner as a compact unit, cooling only one particular room. Also
known as a"unitary unit," this method is set up in the window of a space.

Window components cool a room be emitting the warm air out the back of it and blowing
cool air into it. These types of units are best for people who live in tiny spaces. It would not
be ideal for a larger home as you may discover that it doesn't cool efficiently in that sort of
environment.

PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER:

Portable air conditioners are regarded as the next generator of window units. This type of ac
unit takes in air in the room and cools it, subsequently sends it back into the room. The unit
then vents any warm atmosphere outside by means of an exhaust hose that's set up in a
window.

Like window air conditioning units, portable air conditioners are designed to cool only one
room. They're easy to install, versatile, and yet an affordable choice. You might discover that
the portability of your own air conditioner makes staying cooling on a hot summer day that
much simpler.

HYBRID AIR CONDITIONERS:

 Like hybrid cars, hybrid heat pump systems alternative between burning fossil fuels and
using power to run. The system intelligently chooses between the two energy sources so as
to save energy and money. You won't need to be held hostage by increasing energy rates.

At the summer, your heat pump functions as it generally does, pulling heat from your home
and dispersing it outside. In the winter, your hybrid heat pump program works in reverse,
pulling heat from the outside environment and distributing it into your home. If you recall
the Second Law of Thermodynamics from high school, you know that heat gets transferred
from a hot object to a cold item. When the refrigerant drops below the outside
temperature, heat from the outdoors gets transferred to a heat pump's coils and thus into
your refrigerant. Now, the extracted heat could be turned into hot, conditioned air for your
property.
