Why does a central air conditioner have ice build up on the pipes?
If you are talking about the larger of the 2 copper lines, the problem could be that the unit is low on refrigerant. Check to ensure that the large line is insulated and not exposed.
Is there a reason why you would have ice build up around the pipes for your air conditioner?
Several things can cause this. A clogged filter, bad/dirty blower, dirty fins on outdoor condensing unit or the fan in the outdoor condensing unit not running or not running properly can all cause poor air flow and cause ice on the pipes. Low coolant level can also cause this. So, try the easy things like cleaning it and changing the filter first and see if that helps. If it doesn't, a tech will probably have to come out to recharge the unit and look for a leak.
Who invented air conditioning?
The 19th century British scientist and inventor Michael Faraday discovered that compressing and liquefying a certain gas could chill air when the liquefied ammonia was allowed to evaporate. His idea remained largely theoretical. In 1842, Florida physician Dr. John Gorrie used compressor technology to create ice,
How can you take the energy from a camp fire and use it to cool an ice chest?
you take pipes from the fire to the chest and melt ice over it the cold water will keep it cooled down dawg. Fo Sheezy. you take pipes from the fire to the chest and melt ice over it the cold water will keep it cooled down dawg. Fo Sheezy.
What is the tonnage of a 108000 btu ac?
A ton of refrigeration is defined as the amount of heat removal required to change one ton of water (2000 pounds) at 32 degrees F to one ton of ice at 32 degrees F in one day which is 288000 BTUs. Today it is assumed that BTU ratings are by the hour, so one ton of refrigeration is the removal of 1200 BTU/hr. So if your air conditioning unit is removing 108000 BTUs/hr it is a 108000/12000 or 9 ton machine.
Why would ice form on the bottom of an Air Conditioning unit?
Water get in the bottom
Do ice cream trucks have ac. in them?
Yes, most ice cream trucks have air conditioning in it. Most trucks keep the ice cream cold by storing it in a cooling unit, much like a refrigerator. The truck themselves may not have air conditioning in it but there will be refridgeration to keep the ice cream cold. It really just depends on the truck.
Why does your inside line ice over and keep your unit from cooling?
If you're talking about air conditioning, it will ice over if there is not enough airflow over the coils. If the filter on the front was clogged it would keep the air flow low and the unit can freeze up. Turn the unit off, let it thaw, remove the blockage, and restart. Also, if the unit has leaked some of it's coolant it will ice up.
Is zero ice added to an air conditioning unit to keep the amperage low and extend the life of the unit?
Zero Ice reduces the amp pull on the AC and helps extent the life of the compressor. It averages between $100 - 200; depending on where you live, and service fees, ect.

Your ac unit outside has ice on it?
If the ice formed while the unit was operating it is a heat pump. The defrost board or whatever other control you may have to initiate the defrost cycle is probably bad. Switch the unit over and run the air conditioning, that wil defrost the ice until you can have it repaired.
Why your air condition got ice on the pipes in blows hot air what is wrong with it?
system has a leak and is low on refrigerant or air flow is restricted by a dirty filter or coils
What other thing apart form air conditioning could be done to keep a house cool?
Dry Ice
Why did the reform movement occur?
Because in the snow and ice of the heating and ventilating air conditioning it is your contribution will always be followed by guidelines.
How heat pump used to heat the building?
Imagine a window AC unit installed backwards, rejecting heat indoors while air conditioning the world, this is a heat pumps heat mode. As the unit is air conditioning in the cool outdoors eventually the outdoor coil will ice up requiring a defrost cycle, defrost is the AC mode except the outdoor fans off to assist with the defrosting. A defrost cycle is time and temperature initiated, time or temperature terminated.
Why do water pipes burst in the winter?
If you don't insulate water pipes or protect them in some way from the cold, the water inside the pipes can freeze. This causes you to be without water until the pipes warm up enough to thaw. Also, when the water freezes, it can expand and burst the pipes which will then need to be replaced. Save yourself the aggravation of having no water and the cost of replacing pipes by insulating them. To protect pipes in an empty or unused building, you can pour anti-freeze down all drains and in the toilet to winterize them.
