AC (Air Conditioning) is made for cooling and heating, ventilation that kills microorganisms. HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) The V stands for Ventilation and means that it takes air from the outside in to the inside. And AC dosent do that. I can't give any better anwer on that, maybe someone else.
Outside. Anything you do to the inside will restrict air flow.
yes
When the unit cools the air, the water vapor in the air condenses to form water. If the unit is in good repair, the water is piped to a suitable place of disposal, into the ground or into a drain system.
Yes. Since cool air tends to concentrate at lower elevations, leaving basement windows open will result in considerable wasted electricity. While the AC may not be blowing into them, warmer air from outside will convect into the basement, mixing with the colder air and pushing colder air out.
AC uses electric power to transport the heat from the inside of the house to the outside of the house. AC uses a special gas/liquid that cools down when expanded and heats up when compressed. The gas is expanded inside the house, it cools down, takes on the heat from the air in the room. The gas is then moved outside the house where it is compressed, heated and releases the heat.
Yes, an AC dehumidifies the air by removing moisture from it as it cools the air.
Yes, the outside air is used to "cool" the refrigeration lines in the condenser. So the higher the outside air, the less the refrigerant is cooled down causing the units capacity to be less and less as the temperature rises.
Actually you can't, because an ac unit does not cool the air, it removes the moisture from the air that in turn cools it. An ac unit is actually a de-humidifier.
An air conditioner cools the air, obviously. But, as the air is cooled, the air can hold less moisture. It takes a lot of work for the AC system to remove humidity from the air. When you first turn on the AC it's often a good idea to switch over to "max", since the AC system will pull the humidity out of the air that's inside the vehicle then recirculate the now dryer air until the vehicle cools. That's all "MAX" does for you, it recirculates the air inside the vehicle. Once the inside of the vehicle has cooled a little, switch back to normal so that the AC system doesn't build up fungus and start to stink.
The AC is dripping water outside because it is removing humidity from the air inside the house and expelling it outside as condensation.
Many vehicles have a delay on the AC so that they wait until the AC has been able to cool the air so that you don't get a blast of hot air while the AC cools down.

on the ac condenser
A split system air conditioner is a central air conditioning system that is "split" into two components: the air conditioner that sits outside of your home and an indoor component to move the air through duct work, such as a furnace and coil. A window unit only cools the single room it is installed in. It does not move air through ducts like a split system does. It will be more expensive to run a window AC to cool a home, but the upfront cost will be less than a central AC system.
Water is dripping from the AC pipe outside because it is a normal byproduct of the air conditioning process. When warm air passes over the cold coils inside the AC unit, moisture in the air condenses and collects on the coils. This water then drips out of the AC pipe outside to prevent it from building up inside the unit.
Your outside AC unit may be blowing cold air because it is functioning properly and is working to cool the air before it enters your home. This is a normal operation of an air conditioning system.
