S50 -- Room Air Conditioners and Packaged Terminal Air (I-P)

Room air conditioners are encased assemblies designed primarily for mounting in a window or through a wall. They are designed to deliver cool or warm conditioned air to the room, either without ducts or with very short ducts (up to a maximum of about 48in. [1220 mm]). Each unit includes a prime source of refrigeration and dehumidification and a means for circulating and filtering air; it may also include a means for ventilating and/or exhausting and heating.
