The air conditioning systems. Brief review of their main characteristic. Part I

SUMMARY

This research is a compilation of the fundamental aspects of the different systems of air conditioning that are used in practice. They constitute an approach for the engineers in the design process of these systems for buildings. Information related to the classification of the same, the advantages and disadvantages, as well as systems recommended for specific applications, are focused throughout the article. Finally, studies that improve the efficiency of the same from the design phase are summarized.Keywords: HVAC, configuration, design, air conditioner systems. RESUMENLa presente investigación es una recopilación de los aspectos fundamentales de los distintos sistemas de aire acondicionado que en la práctica se emplean.
