How much space can a room air conditioner cool?

How much space a room air conditioner can cool is dependent on the size of the unit. You can read the amount on the side of the box if you are not sure.


Which cools the air faster a ceiling fan or a air conditioner?

Air conditioner. A fan doesn't actually cool the air - it simply circulates it.


Why are air conditioners placed high on walls and not on the ground?

Because the cool air from the air conditioner is denser than the warm air in the room and sinks. Placed high up the cool air will have time to get further from the air conditioner before it settles to the floor, allowing it to cool more of the room. Placed on the floor the cool air will mostly pool around the air conditioner and very little of the room will be cooled. Some air conditioner are actually placed relatively low in a room, but they have fans and baffles that blow the cold air upwards to the ceiling resulting in the same effect as placing the air conditioner high (maybe even better as the fan blows the cool air not only up to the ceiling but across it, possibly covering a larger volume of the room than cool air falling passively from an air conditioner placed high but without fans).


To what temperature can a window air conditioner cool your room?

It depends on the BTU of the air coditioner, the cubic footage of space in the room to be cooled, and the temperature and humidity in the room. Under best conditions, an standard air conditioner can only cool a room to the mid 60's. Any colder than this causes the evaporator to ice over, clogging the air flow into the room, which causes the temperature to rise, even though the air conditioner is still running.


Cool air is heavier than warm air.where is the best place in a room to put an air conditioner?
