about central air conditioners and air conditioners?

Question

what the different between central air conditioners and air conditioners?? please if you don't know don't answer.

Answer 1

A central A/C is a fairly large unit that is used to cool a whole house or larger building by dividing its large output into many rooms, re-collecting the exchanged air and recirculating it through the cooling system in a continuous operation.
A 'Window' or individual A/C unit is for a smaller, specific room.

Answer 2

Hi,
Central air conditioners distribute cool air throughout a house or building by means of ducts that channel the air from the cooling coils to each room. There are also ducts to return the air to be cooled again. These units are divided into two major parts: 1) An evaporator inside the house that cools the air, and 2) A compressor outside the house that extracts the heat from the coolant and returns it inside again.

Air conditioners are usually installed in windows. The front part, the part inside the house, contains the evaporator ( the cooling part). A blower blows the cooled air out into the room that the window is in. The compressor is in the back part of the unit that extends outside the window and exhausts the heat from the condenser coils to the outside air.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Air conditioner cools one room, usually installed in a window. Central a/c cools entire living space using the heating ducts, often installed near the central heating unit or in the yard.
