Air Conditioners Staying Cool
1. Air Conditioners Staying Cool
AC Units conditioning utilize the same operating principles and basic parts as your house
refrigerator. Refrigerators use energy (usually electricity) to transfer heat in the cool inside of the
refrigerator to the relatively warm setting of your home ; similarly, an air conditioner uses energy to
transfer heat in the interior of your property to the relatively warm exterior environment
An air conditioner cools your house using a cold indoor coil called the evaporator. The condenser, a
hot outdoor coil, releases the collected heat outside. The evaporator and condenser coils are
serpentine tubing surrounded by aluminium fins. This tubing is normally made from copper.
The liquid refrigerant evaporates in the indoor
evaporator coil, pulling heat from indoor air and
cooling your home. The hot refrigerant gas is
pumped outdoors into the condenser where it
reverts back to a liquid, giving up its heat to the
outside air flowing over the condenser's metal
tubing and fins.
It is a well known health hazard, plus it can cause
very serious illness in those who have a sensitivity
to it. It thrives in hot website and humid
environments, also condensation is considered by it
from A/C flows - notably around electrical outlets,
door frames, window frames and fireplaces - an
open invitation to work its way in your property.
Removing mould or http://www.consumersearch.com/air-conditioner-reviews another biological
development after it is taken hold is definitely an expensive proposal, and there is never a guarantee
it will work. But even if your house is not warm and dry enough to keep out most of the mould, there
are still other intruders to be worried about. Like your fundamental allergens, as an example.
Brisbane is infamous for them - pollen, dust mites, insects. You'll breathe them in and pay the price,
should they enter your house. Even small variations in the amount of moisture in your home's air
may cause respiratory difficulties. Too much or too little moisture give rise to illness as well as
aggravate your asthma, can irritate nasal passages.
The US.. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory has devised a new air
conditioning process with the possibility of using 50 % to 90 per cent less energy than today's top of
the line units. It uses membranes, evaporative cooling system and liquid desiccants in a way which
has not ever been done before in the centuries-old science of removing heat in the atmosphere.
"The notion would be to revolutionize cooling, while removing millions of metric tons of carbon from
the air, " NREL mechanical engineer Eric Kozubal, co-inventor of the Desiccant- Accentuated
evaporative air conditioner (DEVap), said
" We'd been working with membranes, evaporative coolers and desiccants. We saw an opportunity to
2. join them in just one apparatus to get a product with exceptional capabilities. "
