Industrial air conditioners are used for cooling in a variety of industrial, manufacturing and warehousing applications. Industrial air conditioners may be window or through-the-wall air conditioners, central air conditioners, or ductless air conditioners.
Window or through-the wall industrial air conditioners are used to cool individual rooms. They are equipped with vents on both sides so that inside air can be brought in and cooled while outside air is blown in and out, acting as a heat sink.
In comparison, central air conditioning uses ducts to transport cold air throughout a building. Central air conditioners are useful for maintaining a standard cool temperature in multi-room, multi-story buildings.
Ductless air conditioning splits the difference between through-the-wall and central air conditioning. In this type of air conditioner, an outside unit with the compressor is mounted on an exterior wall, while an inside unit with the evaporator is mounted on an interior wall or ceiling. Multiple evaporators may be attached to a single compressor.
