Yes, the outside air is used to "cool" the refrigeration lines in the condenser. So the higher the outside air, the less the refrigerant is cooled down causing the units capacity to be less and less as the temperature rises.

How does the expansion of air affect temperature?

It cools.


Why water was cold in those jars even though the temperature outside was warm?

Evaporation cools the water


How does boiling water affect the temperature of a room?

Boiling water can increase the temperature of a room by releasing heat energy into the surrounding air. This can lead to a temporary rise in room temperature until the water cools down.


Does the air conditioner pull air from outside to cool the room?

Yes, an air conditioner pulls in air from outside, cools it through a refrigeration process, and then circulates the cooled air into the room to lower the temperature.


Why is your nose cold when in a cooler environment?

Body temperature is higher than atmospheric temperature. Cooler air from outside cools the nostrils, hence nose is colder than other adjacent body parts.


Do you have to put an Air Conditioner in a window or can you run it in say the middle of the living room?

Because it uses air it sucks from the outside of the building, only it cools it down first before blowing it out.


What is the affect of temperature on crystal growth?

Temperature doesn't really affect the crystal size; the rate of cooling is the major factor. The faster the mineral, rock, etc. (whatever has the crystals) cools, the smaller the crystals- the slower the larger. If you were "growing" crystals with a set, the warmer the temperature generally means the larger the crystals.


How fast does urine cool down?

Urine cools down at a rate similar to other liquids, losing heat to the surrounding environment. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and airflow can affect how quickly urine cools down. Generally, urine will cool to room temperature within a few minutes if left undisturbed.


How does taking a balloon outside on a cold day show Charles law?

Taking a balloon outside on a cold day demonstrates Charles's law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure. As the temperature decreases outside, the air inside the balloon also cools down, causing its volume to decrease and the balloon to shrink.


How does a range of mountains affect the climate of a region?

A range of mountains can affect the climate of a region by blocking the movement of air masses, causing rain shadows on one side where the air rises and cools, and creating wet conditions on the windward side where the air cools and releases moisture. Additionally, mountains can influence temperature patterns by blocking cold air masses or creating temperature inversions in valleys.


Why does your window ac blow out a mist?

If there is a high moisture content in the air, the mist that you are seeing is condensation from the coil that is not accumulating and draining off. You should see less of it as the temperature in the cabin cools off.


Can a window mount air conditioner be used as a wall mount air conditioner?

Certainly! I mounted a Kenmore 18000 BTU window unit through the wall several years ago and it cools my small house just fine. Just be sure that it tilts down a little at the outside so condensation will drip outside and not all over your floor!
