  • Publication number: 20230296270
    Abstract: A method for air conditioning including installing an air conditioning unit at a desired location. The air conditioning unit includes a housing that has air supply inlets and exhaust air outlets. The housing encloses a mode control unit that switches a zone coil associated with a zone from a cooling mode to a heating mode by switching from a cooling medium to a heating medium flowing through the zone coil. The zone coil receives the heating or cooling medium and conditions incoming air from a supply fan to be exhausted in a zone associated with the zone coil. A variable refrigerant flow cooling/heating unit provides a cooling medium or a heating medium at varying rates to control a temperature of a zone.

  • Publication number: 20170138619
    Abstract: Described herein are technologies for an enclosed, modular multi-zone variable refrigerant flow air conditioning system. In some implementations, the enclosed, modular multi-zone variable refrigerant flow air conditioning system may include a housing. The housing may have enclosed therein a variable refrigerant flow cooling/heating unit, a mode control unit, a return/exhaust fan, and a supply fan. The enclosed, modular multi-zone variable refrigerant flow air conditioning system may further include one or more units to receive a heating or cooling medium from the variable refrigerant flow cooling/heating unit to cool or heat air going to two or more zones. The enclosed, modular multi-zone variable refrigerant flow air conditioning system may be a modular unit transportable and installable as a single unit.
