Solar air conditioners are generally preferred over solar air coolers because they are more effective at cooling and can maintain a constant temperature even in extremely hot weather conditions. Solar air conditioners use a vapor compression refrigeration cycle, similar to traditional air conditioners, but they are powered by solar energy instead of electricity from the grid.
On the other hand, solar air coolers, also known as evaporative coolers, use a different cooling mechanism. They work by blowing air over a wet pad or filter, which evaporates the water and cools the air. However, they are less effective in high humidity areas, and they can only cool the air to a certain extent, which is usually a few degrees lower than the ambient temperature. They also require more maintenance, as the wet pad or filter needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent mold and bacteria growth.
Overall, solar air conditioners are preferred over solar air coolers because they offer more efficient and consistent cooling performance, especially in hotter and more humid environments. However, solar air coolers can still be a good option for low-humidity environments or for use as a supplementary cooling system.
You can buy an traditional air conditioner, and fix solar panels on the roof,then use solar panels supply the air conditioner.
There are no air conditioner's here currently available that run only on solar energy.
The term "air conditioner" is used because it both cools and dehumidifies the air. It not only reduces the temperature but also controls the humidity levels in the air, hence the term "air conditioner". "Air cooler" might imply just reducing temperature without the dehumidifying function.
It is not advisable to run the air conditioner with the windows open, even when the outside temperature is cooler. This can waste energy and reduce the efficiency of the air conditioner. It is more efficient to keep windows closed when using the air conditioner to maintain a consistent temperature inside.
An "air cooler" or "evaporative cooler" cools air by evaporating water. The evaporation process is endothermic and therefore the temperature of the air drops. However, the relative humidity level of the air goes up. This is a common method of cooling air in very dry climates. An air conditioner cools air through a heat exchanger and does not increase the relative humidity of the air.
No, you can not put ice into a portable air conditioner. I think you are actually referring to a portable air cooler, in which case, you can put ice into the water chamber.
An air conditioner regulates the temperature of a room by removing heat from the air inside and releasing it outside, resulting in a cooler indoor environment.
An air conditioner cools down a room by taking in warm air, removing the heat from it using a refrigerant, and then blowing out cooler air into the room. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air inside the unit, then releases it outside, resulting in a cooler indoor temperature.
The interior of the bus is cooler than outside the bus because of the air conditioner. Water vapour outside in the air touches the cooler surface of the window of the bus and condenses to form water droplets on the window.
why wouldn't it be?
An air conditioner does not actually produce cold air. It works by removing heat from the air inside a room, which makes the air feel cooler. The heat is then transferred outside, leaving cooler air inside.
Coleman does make a portable 12v evaporative air conditioner. They do not make a picnic cooler that does this however.
