         24 . A cooling system according to  claim 22 , wherein the system includes conduits which fluidly connect the separate compressor housing to the or each condenser coil, the or each condenser coil to the or each evaporator, and the or each evaporator to the separate compressor housing to define a cooling circuit. 
     
     
         25 . A cooling system according to  claim 23 , wherein the separate compressor housing includes a condenser outlet port and a condenser inlet port. 
     
     
         26 . A cooling system according to  claim 23 , wherein the separate compressor housing includes one or more evaporator outlet ports. 
     
     
         27 . A cooling system according to  claim 26 , wherein the compressor housing includes an outlet manifold which includes a compressed coolant inlet port and two or more evaporator outlet ports. 
     
     
         28 . A cooling system according to  claim 23 , wherein the separate compressor housing includes one or more evaporator inlet ports. 
     
     
         29 . A cooling system according to  claim 28 , wherein the separate compressor housing includes an inlet manifold which includes an expanded coolant outlet port and two or more evaporator inlet ports. 
     
     
         30 . A building including one or more rooms, wherein the building includes a cooling system according to  claim 23 , wherein at least one room of the building has disposed therein the or one of the evaporator assemblies; the separate compressor housing is located exterior to the building; and the condenser assembly is located exterior to the building; wherein the condenser housing and the separate compressor are spaced apart from each other; and wherein the or each evaporator, the compressor and the condenser are in fluid communication with each other via conduits to form a cooling circuit. 
     
     
         31 . A building air conditioning system comprising a condenser housing having a coolant inlet conduit and a coolant outlet conduit, the condenser housing further comprising a cover plate and a compressor housing, a first evaporator, a second evaporator, and a third evaporator, the condenser housing having a condenser outlet port and a condenser inlet port, a flow conduit and a return conduit, the condenser housing further comprising a housing body having side walls, a rear wall, and a front wall portion, a fan mounting plate having a body portion and side wall portions, a top cover and a bottom cover, and electric fans mounted on cylindrical spacers and driven by fan motors.
