Why are air conditioners placed high on walls and not on the ground?
Because the cool air from the air conditioner is denser than the warm air in the room and sinks. Placed high up the cool air will have time to get further from the air conditioner before it settles to the floor, allowing it to cool more of the room. Placed on the floor the cool air will mostly pool around the air conditioner and very little of the room will be cooled. Some air conditioner are actually placed relatively low in a room, but they have fans and baffles that blow the cold air upwards to the ceiling resulting in the same effect as placing the air conditioner high (maybe even better as the fan blows the cool air not only up to the ceiling but across it, possibly covering a larger volume of the room than cool air falling passively from an air conditioner placed high but without fans).
Will a tub of cold water cool down a hot room?
Not very much.
Will a 12000 btu heater heat a 600 square foot room?
* Single Room Air Conditioner Capacity - typically for rooms up to 20' x 20' or 400 sq.ft. in area. BTUs in this product range are typically from 6,000 BTUh to 10,000 BTUh. * Multiple Room Air Conditioner Capacity - typically for a total area of up to 800 sq.ft. BTUs in this product range are typically from 10,000 BTUh to 16,000 BTUh. * Large Capacity Air Conditioner Capacity - typically for multiple rooms or very large rooms up to a total area from 900 sq. ft. to 2,000 sq.ft. BTUs in this product range are typically from 16,000 to 28,000 BTUh.http://www.inspect-ny.com/aircond/AirConditionerChart.htm
Can a central air conditioner hold 9 pounds of freon?
That sounds reasonable to me. I have in my home, a very large (22,000 BTU) through-the-wall air conditioner, designed to cool three large rooms. It uses 3.5 lbs of freon. A whole-house unit I can easily see using as much as 9 lbs.
Why does a wet khus-khus screen hung at the door keep the room cool?
This effect is due to 'evaporative cooling'. It is a very useful phenomena, and one may achieve a cooling of several degrees centigrade. In some hot countries, an open chimney is lined with damp cloth, and this cools the air in the chimney, which then falls because it is cooler and denser, and provides useful cooling to a quite large area. When on motor camping trips, we used to hang our butter and milk in a wet cloth bag in the car, and this kept it usefully cool, and at no real cost.
Does low coolant effect the air conditioner?
Yes, very much so. The most immediate result is improper cooling.
How exactly does an AC unit work?
An air conditioning (AC) unit is a very important machine that is used during hot weather. An air conditioner typically works by removing hot air from a room, cooling it, and then sending it back into a room.
How can a air conditioner be used to heat a room?
Install it backwards. This does not work in very cold climates.

How many square feet does an 15000 BTU air conditioner cool?
I currently have a 5k btu air conditioner and I've found that it'll do well to cool a single room, providing the doors are closed most of the time. To expect much more from it as far as cooling wouldn't be realistic. One of the purposes of an air conditioner besides cooling, is to also remove humidity, and if you use it in a larger area, it'll help some, but you can't really expect a lot of cooling from the unit. It'll also run the compressor continually and the electric bill will probably be quite a bit higher.
What is a central air conditioner?
Central Air Conditioners are installed into your house to provide cooling air in every room using a duct system. They are very refreshing on a hot day.
Can a PC be used in a room cooled by an air conditioner?
Yes so long as it is not really low (like -20oc) then it will help you computer keep its self cool becase computer get very hot and that is why it has all of the fans so cooling it will help and it it is too hot then your compuer will overheat melt or blow up
Why are air conditioners placed near the ceiling of the room?
Because of one simple science fact : “Cold air is heavier than warm air” When an air conditioner is at a certain height, it cools the air surrounding it, this cool air being heavier moves towards the floor of the room, meanwhile displacing the warm air already at the floor to the top. This warm air again gets cooled because of the air conditioner and the process repeats. This causes a uniform cooling of the room. Suppose if the air conditioner is at the bottom of the room, it cools the air surrounding it and this air stays at the bottom. The warm air towards the ceiling continues to stay warm for a very long time hence the cooling is not effective. It is for the same reason the freezer is at the top in a refrigerator.
Which is bad for your health a dry room or cold room?
A dry room in winter can affect the body and can make the heated room feel colder. Humidifiers are uses to raise the house humidity level. In summer, too much moisture from high outside humidity can make the house very unbearable. Dehumifiers can be used in addition to the humidity removal performed by an air conditioner.

Do either Frigidaire or Friedrich carry mini air conditioners that would be appropriate for a small room?
The Frigidaire FAA055P7A is a very moderately-priced unit with low energy usage that is capable of cooling a 8'x10' room very effectively.
