No. Cooling the compressor will do little to improve the efficiency of the system. The compressor will be slightly more efficient, but the overall efficiency of the heat transfer will be unchanged. Cooling the condenser (the outside heat exchanger coils) will do more, but the money saved in AC costs will be offset by water wasted. Also, keep in mind the heat exchanger outside is an electrical device. It is designed to withstand rain on it, not water being hosed in it. Be carefull. This idea is half-cocked and I would not recommend it.

How do you increase boiler efficiency?

we can increase boiler efficiency by recovering the heat which is being carried by flue gases.by incorporating different things like Economizer, Air pre-heater , Super-heater and feed-water heater, we can there ll be notable increase in efficiency of boiler.

What is the biological importance of hydrotropism and phototropism?

The biological importance of hydrotropism and phototropism in plants is that they help increase the efficiency of the plants in their ecosystem. Hydrotropism has to do with the efficiency of using water while phototropism has to do with sunlight.

What is diffusion and what increases the rate of diffusion?

diffusion is the transefer of said product from high to low concentration on the outside of the organism. e.g when in water skin wrinkles as their is water outside and water diffuses from your skin to the water outside as it has a higher concentration of molecules. You can increase diffusion by increasing the concentration of the other product on the outside. hope this helped.

What is the purpose of an intercooler in an air compressor?

Intercoolers lower the temperature of air going from one stage of a compressor to another, it increases the efficiency as the air becomes more dense. As the recieving stage is compressing cooler air as result, there is less heat produced in the succeding stage. If the intercooler has a large surface area, the temperature can approach ambient temperatures, and moisture my drop out, requiring a method for it's removal; if not a slug of water could damage the recieving stage. Efficiency increases can be had >15%
