HVAC – Heat Ventilation and Air Condition

Window A/C (0 – 3 Ton)

Windows air conditioners are one of the

most widely used types of air conditioners
because they are the simplest form of the
air conditioning systems. Window air
conditioner comprises of the rigid base on
which all the parts of the window air
conditioner are assembled. The base is
assembled inside the casing which is fitted
into the wall or the window of the room in
which the air conditioner is fitted.

Split A/C (0 – 3 Ton)

The split air conditioner comprises of two parts:
the outdoor unit and the indoor unit. The outdoor
unit, fitted outside the room, houses components
like the compressor, condenser and expansion
valve. The indoor unit comprises the evaporator
or cooling coil and the cooling fan. For this unit
you don’t have to make any slot in the wall of
the room. Further, present day split units have
aesthetic appeal and do not take up as much
space as a window unit. A split air conditioner
can be used to cool one or two rooms.

HVAC – Heat Ventilation and Air Condition

Package unit (4 – 20 Ton)

An HVAC designer will suggest this type of air conditioner if you
want to cool more than two rooms or a larger space at your
home or office. There are two possible arrangements with the
package unit. In the first one, all the components, namely the
compressor, condenser (which can be air cooled or water
cooled), expansion valve and evaporator are housed in a single
box. The cooled air is thrown 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.

Cassette Unit (4 – 20 Ton)

The 4-Way Cassette is unobtrusive and flexible. It blends with any
room interior and offers the ideal solution for small commercial
applications where space is limited.

Ceiling mounted unit (4 – 20 Ton)

Unlike ceiling cassette' units which are placed within a false ceiling,
under ceiling AC units are usually mounted near a wall and just
below ceiling height.

HVAC – Heat Ventilation and Air Condition

Central air condition (21 Ton and more) with cooling towers
Central air conditioning is used for cooling big
buildings, houses, offices, entire hotels, gyms, movie
theaters, factories etc. If the whole building is to be
air conditioned, HVAC engineers find that putting
individual units in each of the rooms is very
expensive making this a better option. A central air
conditioning system is comprised of a huge
compressor that has the capacity to produce
hundreds of tons of air conditioning. Cooling big
halls, malls, huge spaces, galleries etc is usually only
feasible with central conditioning units.
