Those are called PTAC Units, or an Packaged Thermal Air Conditioner. They are used in aprts, hotels, schools, ect. Pretty much widow Ac unit with a heating coil thats permanently mounted threw the wall, but its still like a window unit with around 80 - 100 screws

Thanks for posting gt. I know they've been around for quite awhile but i always thought they made heat by running the ac in reverse like a heat pump. It's a good day when one learns something new.

That's exactly what I had probably older. I'm going to cut ends off of rads today.

I did a couple ptac units from 1972 last year. those were awesome. they were from an aprt building that use to be a hotel. My contact that seen them (the UPS guy) thought they were mini rooftop units when he text me about them. "What can brown do for you?"

Neat mine was smaller and no blower motor of course haha. Both of them with ends off was 12lb. I did what was left of the radiators I had I got 280lbs so that would bring the total of clean ac rads to 679lb clean ac rads with 91 acs to go ��. So far I have taken in 29lb num 2, 40lb num 3 wire, 19lb aluminum rads,30lb num 1. With some more num 1 in there somewhere and then all the noodles to pull out haha I'm going to put those in a bucket and see how full it gets from these I have done ��. I still have fan motors and I'm debating to either take compressors in as is or cut em open I'm going to count the tanks to see how many acs I have done some of them didn't have rads on them just the fan motor and compressor I didn't account for that.
