   Packaged terminal air conditioner installed in a residential apartment. A packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) is a type of self-contained heating and air conditioning system intended to be mounted through a wall. [1] The first practical semi-portable air conditioning unit invented by engineers at Chrysler Motors. It entered the market in ...

   The compressor will keep operating at the same speed, but due to the bypass, the refrigerant mass flow circulating with the system is reduced, and thus the cooling capacity. This naturally causes the compressor to run uselessly during the periods when the bypass is operating. The turn down capacity varies between 0 and 100%. [85]

   The compressor pumps the refrigerant gas up to high pressure and temperature. From there it enters a heat exchanger (sometimes called a condensing coil or condenser) where it loses heat to the outside, cools, and condenses into its liquid phase. An expansion valve (also called metering device) regulates the refrigerant liquid to flow at the ...

   Subcooling may also be produced by superheating the gas leaving the evaporator and heading to the gas compressor. [9] These systems withdraw heat from the liquid line and heat up the gas compressor's suction line. This is a very common solution to insure that gas reaches the compressor and liquid reaches the valve.

6. Chiller - Wikipedia

   A liquid (glycol based) chiller with an air cooled condenser on the rooftop of a medium size commercial building. In air conditioning systems, chilled coolant, usually chilled water mixed with ethylene glycol, from a chiller in an air conditioning or cooling plant is typically distributed to heat exchangers, or coils, in air handlers or other types of terminal devices which cool the air in ...

   The study of the behavior of air-water vapor mixtures. Water vapor plays an important role in energy transfer and human comfort in HVAC design. rooftop unit (RTU) A packaged unit that controls both heating and air conditioning. An air handler typically refers to a unit that provides a fan to support either heating or cooling. radiant ceiling panels
