The most common odor problem from a window ac unit is that there is a buildup over time in the drip pan. The pan collects condensation and allows it to drain through a hole in the ac unit. Over time the pan will collect dirt and other particles, and can develop mold. With the ac unit unplugged the cover will need to be removed, and the pan scraped out and washed.

How does bleach in my home's central air conditioner overflow pipe help?

It kills the bacteria slime that clogs the overflow pipe. If the pipe clogs up the water fills up the drain pain. when it reaches a certain level it shuts the air conditioning down.

What is the role of a chemical engineer in a power plant?

Power generation plants typically require mechanical and electrical engineers as a majority of the workforce; however there are a few areas that a chemical engineer can get involved in. Any treatment processes within the plant, such as air, water, etc. can be done by a chemical engineer. If the power plant produces chemical wastes, such as tritium in a nuclear power plant, this isotope has to be removed in a process containing distillation columns and other chemical engineering processes, making chemical engineers ideal for this position. Some chemical engineers can work within risk assessment and can do work to determine risks within the plant and how best to prevent them.


Where to pour bleach in a Rudd rheem air conditioner model number UBHC 17J11NFD to remove clog?

Bleach will not remove a clog, it is only for routine disinfecting of the drain line. For a clog blow out the line with compressed air. There should be access to do this somewhere inside at the airhandler but if not you can blow it in the opposite direction at the drain lines termination point. Or call a pro in to do it correctly.
