When was air conditioning invented?
Air conditioning techniques were used in Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, and medieval Persia. Mechanical cooling has been around since the 2nd century.The first modern electrical air conditioning unit was invented in 1902 by Willis Carrier.Air conditioning was invented in 1783
What is a BTU rating?
If measuring heat, a BTU measures the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of a pound of water to 1º Fahrenheit. In terms of air conditioning, the BTU determines the amount of heat the unit can remove from the room. As the BTU rating increases, so does the size, weight and cost of the unit.
Why air conditioners are never installed in the floor of the room?
You mean besides tripping over them? A room type AC moves heat from inside to the outside. The outer part of the unit needs to be outside the house- not in the space under it, so that moving air can get rid of waste heat and condensed water. Mounted in the floor, the space under your house would be very hot and wet. However, CENTRAL air conditioning uses ducts to carry cooled air to rooms, and they are usually mounted in the floor.
How difficult it is to install central air conditioning system?
"Not as difficult as some might think. If it is a home that currently has installed ductwork, the process of the central air conditioning is rather simple. Purchasing the condensing unit is a major expense,"
What would cause a central air conditioner to make a dripping sound in the inside unit and leak water?
When air is cooled the water in it comes out (like mist forming on the outside of a class filled with cold coke) and this happens in the air conditioner. Normally the dripping water is drained way to the outside (or a drain) by a pipe. If the pipe gets blocked the water will overflow and the conditioner will leak water - get it serviced.
Is a monitor a display that is packaged as a separate unit?
Yes the moniter is a display that is packaged as a separate unit
How do you control the hardness or softness of the water in the aquarium?
There are two ways to help control water hardness: use a packaged water softener or use a mechanical water softening unit. Packaged water softeners are chemicals that help control water hardness.
What does central HVAC provide?
Central HVAC provides central air conditioning, central heating, and central ventilation packaged in one unit. As such it will heat, ventilate and cool your home.
Why would ice form on the bottom of an Air Conditioning unit?
Water get in the bottom
How common are split cycle air conditioning systems in the US?
Very common. 50% or more, I'd speculate. The other major system is a packaged unit, where all components are outside.
Can a 5 ton air conditioning be Replaced with a 4 ton air conditioning unit?
Unless the space being cooled has shrunk that is a vey bad idea that is going to led to a long list of repairs and bills in the future. Use the unit that is rated for your house size. Not larger or smaller as both will have costly reapirs for as long as you have the unit. It may be expensive now, but later there will be less to worry about.
Do you have to vent a portable air conditioner when it heats?
According to portable air conditioning suppliers, Mobile Air, all air conditioners have to be vented. But, there are different ways to "vent" the heat. The first way to vent is using water-cooled air conditioners. This type of unit uses water to cool the heat generated and requires a water source and drain. Mobile Air's website, , states that water cooled AC is required if the ambient temperature exceeds 115 degrees F. The second way to vent the heat produced is by using air. Air venting is done by using duct work to vent the hot air outside or by placing the unit outside to vent right into the air. This type is a bit more portable than water cooled.
What is display a device that is packaged as a separate unit?
A Monitor.
What is the primary water source from water cooled recovery unit condensing coils?
it uses a loop undergroung, better know as a municipal waer supply
Does air conditioning reduce humidity?
Yes Air Conditioning Reduces Humidity. If you have a space AC unit, you will see that there is a containing at the bottom that needs to be emptied when full of water. That water is taken from the air. Causing a dehumidifying effect.
Why is there a puddle of water next to ac blower outdoors?
If it's an air-cooled unit this is most likely normal, and is called "condensate" being water that is formed when hot humid air hits the cooling elements, much like when you turn on an indoor humidifier too high and you start seeing water droplets at the bottom of your windows -- that's condensate too. There should be a small rubber or PVC line out of the unit someplace which is where the water should drain from. The fact that it forms a puddle just means it's especially humid that day. If you have an older water-cooled unit, however, it could be a leak and if you don't shut it off and have it serviced, you could destroy the unit. You should be able to tell if it is water-cooled (very rare to begin with today unless it is very old) because there would be a cold water line running to the unit. On the other hand if you have a heat pump or geo-thermal cooling system (also rare) it could be a leak too. If you're still not sure, time to call a heating/air-conditioning service contractor. And it sounds like you may not be, because actually the "blower" unit should be inside your home, as it is the unit that circulates the cooled air from the cooling coils in that unit through your duct system. What's outside is usually the condenser-compressor unit which has a fan but is used to cool the unit (and actually helps create the cool air that causes the condensate to form).
Why does the air conditioning unit smell of musty water?
this is normal, water runs & or sits inside the system. because its a confined space it's noticable
