Yes, a small amount of water such as that from a perforated flower bed type hose on the condenser during extreme heat will help performance. Just be sure to keep the water away from the control box and only on the coils. This would need to be constant as opposed to just spraying them down once in a while.

What are examples of wetting and drying?

Wetting: humidification of conditioned air, humidification of clothes during a rain, etc. Drying: deleting water from humid sand, deleting water from humid dishes, etc.


What makes water wet?

Water is a wetting liquid but Mercury is non wetting so not the all liquid are wetting it depends upon Adhesive and cohesive forces , the liquids having strong adhesive force than cohesive become absorbed on a solid surface and that surface becomes wet but the liquids having strong cohesive force can not absorbed on a solid surface so material remains dry and such liquids are non wetting liquids as Mercury, so water is wetting liquid due to its strong adhesive force.


Can you use the term viscosity to explain how wetting agents are used to help fight fires?

help to increase water tension by changing the viscosity of water


Why is water water?

Because water is a liquid and one of the main properties of liquids are that they are wet, water is also wet.Another reason is also because water is a compound meaning that the stuff that creates it (hydrogen and oxygen) lose their properties when thy are mixed together.Answer"Wet" is just a describing word that we use to describe something that has a liquid on or in it. So why does water act this way? Simply because it is a liquid and acts as suchWater is a wetting liquid but Mercury is non wetting so not the all liquid are wetting it depends upon Adhesive and cohesive forces , the liquids having strong adhesive force than cohesive become absorbed on a solid surface and that surface becomes wet but the liquids having strong cohesive force can not absorbed on a solid surface so material remains dry and such liquids are non wetting liquids as Mercury, so water is wetting liquid due to its strong adhesive force.


What liquid is not wet?

The "wetting" that happens when an object is immersed in a liquid depends on the surface energy of the object and the capilary forces in action on the surface of the liquid. for example mercury will not "wet" glass but water can wet the same glass.
