Jim, The air conditioners that have the compressor outside, and the individual chillers in the rooms are called split minis, mini split units, ductless air conditioners, and possibly one or two other things. A search on split mini or ductless air conditioner should find you a lot of hits.

Alan, A ductless system is a great way to get something like central air in a house that does not have a forced air heating system. My house uses hot water radiators, so I do not have ducts already installed. To install a ducted system would be a very difficult retro-fit. A ductless system
