Portuguese term or phrase: Central de ar condicionado
"Air conditioner system"?
Fabio Fontes
Central air-conditioning system
Explanation:
Considering the system comprises two units.

Central de ar condicionado de seu escritório

Um condicionador de ar central é um sistema de divisão e, portanto, tem duas partes a ele. Há uma parte que está dentro do prédio e a outra parte é no exterior do edifício, que funciona como unidade de condensação.

Aqui está uma descrição básica de como trabalhar purificadores de ar. O objetivo é resfriar o ar dentro de seu quarto. Então, o que ele faz é, basicamente, que leva o ar quente de dentro do quarto e transfere-a fora. A bobina de refrigerante que está dentro da sala agora esfria o ar dentro quando o ar passa por esses rolos. A temperatura à qual o ar é resfriado depende das configurações de termostato para ar condicionado.

Central air conditioning unit


Explanation:
Suggestion: Keep the term "central" as it refers to specific type of system.
Central air conditioning, commonly referred to as central air (U.S.) or air-con (UK), is an air conditioning system that uses ducts to distribute cooled and/or dehumidified air to more than one room, or uses pipes to distribute chilled water to heat exchangers in more than one room. The condenser unit (with its fan and the compressor) is located outside the home, and therefore offers a lower level of indoor noise than a free-standing air conditioning unit system.
