I have a question that is similar to one I saw asked and answered with a link but the link seems outdated...so I'll ask my question...

A one-room synagogue near me is being vacated to begin construction of a big building. (I already told them to consider GEO for that, but not DIY :-)

I asked the "operations officer" if I can get the old Central A/C. He will get back to me.

Has anyone used a traditional whole house A/C and documented it?

It seems to me that this should be easier in some ways than a "unibody" air conditioner...it's more like a "maxi-split."
Because the units are separate, there may be more room to work with it. I have friends who are licensed who may help. One of them helped me with a plan for ductwork.

My only small worry is short cycling as it might be a bit big. The SF of the facility is similar to my house, but their planned load was about 100 people, mine is about 5. (Note, I have not seen the unit yet :-). (They also have 2-3 older 220V wall units. :-)

I appreciate any experience you can share.
