Packaged terminal air conditioner

Packaged terminal air conditioner

A packaged terminal air conditioner (often abbreviated PTAC) is a type of self-contained air conditioning and heating system commonly found in hotels and apartment buildings. Many are designed to go through a wall, having vents and heat sinks both inside and outside. A standard dimension of 42"×16" (1067 x 406 mm) [ [http://www.comfortstarusa.com/US_PackagedTerminalAC.asp Comfort Star USA] ] for the through-the-wall component is used to ensure some level of interchangeability. PTACs are used to heat or cool a single living space using only electricity.
