Personally, I have never seen a window type inverter system such as you
describe, only the split systems.* Doesn't mean they aren't out
there on
this side of the pond, just that I've not seen them and I was looking
for any suitable alternatives to the window/thru wall units two years
ago when I went to the current split.



They do make window shaker heat pumps but I am not sure how big the
market actually is for them. I suspect it may just be using mini split
hardware in one box.

You see them in motels, at least that's where I've mostly seen them.
Not exactly a window unit, but through the wall, self-contained.

I'm surprised glass can support the weight of those things.

The glass doesn't provide the majority of support, the window sill does
and if it can't handle the weight of an A/C unit you have far bigger
problems. The unit is pretty much balanced there with some force being
taken by the bottom rail in a double hung window. Nothing major if
properly installed.
