Globally we distinguish the following system types:
Air-conditioning, or climate control, is the process of treating air so as to control simultaneously its temperature, humidity, cleanliness and distribution. All air-conditioning systems fall into one of three major categorieslisted above. Each type has certain functional and economic advantages. Some are better than others for specific applications. The generic classification for these systems is shown in the diagram.
This identification indicates the controllable fluids supplied to each conditioned area for the proper control of the atmospheric environment.
