Air conditioners only appear to put cold air in to a structure when, in truth, they remove the heat from the air that is pulled in to them that is already in the home before this same air is placed back in to the structure with its heat removed. What happens to the heat that is removed? It is carried by the refrigerant to the outdoor coil where it is supposed to be released to the outdoor air. The problem with your air conditioner sounds like the outdoor coil is so stopped up with dirt and other items that the heat in the refrigerant can not be removed to the outdoor air. This causes the internal refrigerant pressures to build up so high that protective devices shut the unit down to prevent it from doing any harm. The night time air temperatures outside are low enough that these refrigerant pressures do not reach this "cut out" point, which allow the air conditioner to operate normally at night. What is the cure? Clean the outdoor coil with a water hose (not a pressure washer). This will remove most of the dirt and debris that is compromising the removal of heat from the refrigerant.

Why is air between a window important?
The air in a double pane window is insulation from cold weather.
Is it normal for water buildup on the inside of your window on cold days?
yes because the hot air inside your house is against your window and the cold air on the outside is against your window. So they mix at your window so it has condensation on it.
Why is my window leaking cold air and how can I fix it?
Your window may be leaking cold air due to gaps or cracks in the seal around the window frame. To fix it, you can use weatherstripping or caulk to seal the gaps and prevent cold air from coming in. Additionally, you can consider installing storm windows or using insulating window treatments to further reduce air leakage.
Why does window fog even when warm air is blowing on them on car windshield?
Warm air contains more moisture than cold air. The air hits the cold window and the moisture is deposited on the cold glass. It is the same effect that causes your glass full of a cold beverage to start to drip down the sides.
Why do particles of water in the air form frost on a cold window?
When the temperature of the window drops below freezing, the water vapor in the air loses energy and transitions directly into a solid state, forming frost. This process is called deposition. The water vapor in the air condenses onto the cold surface of the window and freezes into ice crystals.
How is mist able to be on a window?
When a moist warm air inside a room, comes in contact with the cold glass of a window, the moisture in the warm air cools and condenses as water droplets on the cold glass surface. This is the cause of a window misting over.
Why does water condense on your window in winter?
The phenomenon that causes water to condense on the windows in winter is the same as what causes water to condense on the outside of cold glasses. Because the cold glass of the window (or the cup) absorbs heat, the air around it is slightly colder. Because cold air can hold less water vapour than cold air, water condenses and gathers on the window.
How can I prevent cold air from coming through my window frame?
To prevent cold air from coming through your window frame, you can use weatherstripping or caulking to seal any gaps or cracks. Additionally, you can consider using thermal curtains or window insulation film to further block out cold drafts.
What is it called when you breathe on a cold window and droplets appear?
It is called condensation, which occurs when warm, humid air comes into contact with a cold surface like a window. The warm air cools down and releases moisture in the form of tiny droplets on the window.
Breathing on a cold window can fog it up which change of state causes this?
When warm, moist air comes into contact with a cold surface (such as a cold window), the air cools down and loses its ability to hold moisture, leading to condensation. This condensation appears as fog on the window as the water vapor in the air turns into liquid water droplets.
How do you circulate the cold air from a window air conditioner to other parts of a house?
Buy a fan! It will circulate the air!
How do you check air conditioner on 1998 Volkswagen beetle?
air conditorner doesnt blow cold air has freeon compressor doesnt kick on
