what are the parts of an ac

[acvac]

Hello
can someone explain to me what the parts of an ac are called and maybe use pictures from google to help. I know from what I have seen, there is a part placed outside with a fan, and a part placed inside that blows the cold air.
Also are there different systems (I've seen terminology here such a split system)

thanks

This is a no DIY site. Your request is getting pretty close to that line.

Sorry ACvac.

Outside is condensing unit
Inside is furnace/fan/coils

This is split into an inside and outside unit, thus called a split system. :)

Packaged units are when it is all in one. There are some other ones that are water, geothermal, etc... but packaged and split are two very common ones.

Check out the youtube video on refrigeration if you are interested.
