When was air conditioning invented?

Air conditioning techniques were used in Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, and medieval Persia. Mechanical cooling has been around since the 2nd century.The first modern electrical air conditioning unit was invented in 1902 by Willis Carrier.Air conditioning was invented in 1783


What is a BTU rating?

If measuring heat, a BTU measures the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of a pound of water to 1º Fahrenheit. In terms of air conditioning, the BTU determines the amount of heat the unit can remove from the room. As the BTU rating increases, so does the size, weight and cost of the unit.


Why air conditioners are never installed in the floor of the room?

You mean besides tripping over them? A room type AC moves heat from inside to the outside. The outer part of the unit needs to be outside the house- not in the space under it, so that moving air can get rid of waste heat and condensed water. Mounted in the floor, the space under your house would be very hot and wet. However, CENTRAL air conditioning uses ducts to carry cooled air to rooms, and they are usually mounted in the floor.


How difficult it is to install central air conditioning system?

"Not as difficult as some might think. If it is a home that currently has installed ductwork, the process of the central air conditioning is rather simple. Purchasing the condensing unit is a major expense,"


What would cause a central air conditioner to make a dripping sound in the inside unit and leak water?

When air is cooled the water in it comes out (like mist forming on the outside of a class filled with cold coke) and this happens in the air conditioner. Normally the dripping water is drained way to the outside (or a drain) by a pipe. If the pipe gets blocked the water will overflow and the conditioner will leak water - get it serviced.

How can I prevent water leakage from my air conditioning unit?

To prevent water leakage from your air conditioning unit, regularly check and clean the condensate drain line, ensure proper insulation on the unit's refrigerant lines, and schedule annual maintenance by a professional technician.


Why is there water dripping from the evaporator coil in my air conditioning unit?

Water dripping from the evaporator coil in your air conditioning unit is a normal occurrence. This happens because the coil cools the air and removes moisture from it, causing condensation to form. The water then drips into a drain pan and is drained away from the unit.


How common are split cycle air conditioning systems in the US?

Very common. 50% or more, I'd speculate. The other major system is a packaged unit, where all components are outside.


Can a 5 ton air conditioning be Replaced with a 4 ton air conditioning unit?

Unless the space being cooled has shrunk that is a vey bad idea that is going to led to a long list of repairs and bills in the future. Use the unit that is rated for your house size. Not larger or smaller as both will have costly reapirs for as long as you have the unit. It may be expensive now, but later there will be less to worry about.

Do you have to vent a portable air conditioner when it heats?

According to portable air conditioning suppliers, Mobile Air, all air conditioners have to be vented. But, there are different ways to "vent" the heat. The first way to vent is using water-cooled air conditioners. This type of unit uses water to cool the heat generated and requires a water source and drain. Mobile Air's website, , states that water cooled AC is required if the ambient temperature exceeds 115 degrees F. The second way to vent the heat produced is by using air. Air venting is done by using duct work to vent the hot air outside or by placing the unit outside to vent right into the air. This type is a bit more portable than water cooled.
