2. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

   A fan coil unit (FCU), also known as a Vertical Fan Coil Unit (VFCU), is a device consisting of a heat exchanger (coil) and a fan. FCUs are commonly used in HVAC systems of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings that use ducted split air conditioning or central plant cooling.

3. Heat exchanger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exchanger

   For cooling coils, chilled water and refrigerant are most common. Chilled water is supplied from a chiller that is potentially located very far away, but refrigerant must come from a nearby condensing unit. When a refrigerant is used, the cooling coil is the evaporator, and the heating coil is the condenser in the vapor-compression ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_HVAC_terms

   This cooled liquid flows through pipes in a building and passes through coils in air handlers, fan-coil units, or other systems, cooling and usually dehumidifying the air in the building. Chillers are of two types; air-cooled or water-cooled. Air-cooled chillers are usually outside and consist of condenser coils cooled by fan-driven air.

5. Condenser (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condenser_(heat_transfer)

   The condenser coil of a refrigerator. In systems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a heat exchanger used to condense a gaseous substance into a liquid state through cooling. In doing so, the latent heat is released by the substance and transferred to the surrounding environment. Condensers are used for efficient heat rejection in many ...

6. Air handler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_handler

   Evaporative cooling is possible in dry climates. Indirect coils use hot water or steam for heating, and chilled water or glycol for cooling (prime energy for heating and air conditioning is provided by central plant elsewhere in the building). Coils are typically manufactured from copper for the tubes, with copper or aluminum fins to aid heat ...

7. Copper in heat exchangers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_in_heat_exchangers

   Today, steam, evaporator, and condenser coils are made from copper and copper alloys. [3] These heat exchangers are used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems, industrial and central heating and cooling systems, radiators, hot water tanks, and under-floor heating systems.
