The high efficiency compressor sits outdoors and has a heat exchanger and circulating pump built into the cabinet.  In the house, you simply mount the air handler unit in the wall or ceiling of each room or area.  The units are connected by insulated PEX tubing and a chilled water/propylene glycol mix is circulated throughout.  Each air handler unit has it’s own thermostat and speed control that regulates the fan.
