A "General" calculation is 320 square feet (normal ceilings) per ton. However, please note that there are calculations involved with proper sizing of an AC unit. These calculations work off of "Degree Days" which produces a number based off the average heat for summer; Zones if you will. For instance if you live in zone 1 then your 2 ton unit can cool 680 square feet of home no problem, however in zone 5 it may only cool 320 square feet. Also note that these calculations (and online calculators) do not include insulation and other air leak problems.

Where does the heat go in a upstairs in a house when an air conditioner is going?

In a house with a central air conditioner, the heat from the upstairs is removed by the evaporator coil in the air handler unit. The heat is transferred to the refrigerant and expelled outside of the house through the condenser unit. The cooled air is then circulated back into the upstairs living space.


How does the air conditioner work?

An air conditioner works by taking in warm air from inside a space, removing the heat using refrigerant, and releasing the cooled air back into the room. The refrigerant absorbs the heat and then releases it outside through a series of coils. The process continues until the desired temperature is reached.


How much space can a room air conditioner cool?

The cooling capacity of a room air conditioner is typically measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour. A general guideline is that 20 BTUs are needed per square foot of living space, so a 5000 BTU air conditioner can cool a room that is around 250 square feet. It's important to consider factors like room insulation, ceiling height, and sunlight exposure when determining the appropriate size of air conditioner for a space.


What is the working process of an air conditioner?

An air conditioner works by compressing a gas into a liquid. This creates heat, which is vented outside. The liquid is squirted through a restriction and looses pressure and turns back into as gas, this has a cooling effect. The pipework containing this gas has a fan blowing over it and so cools the air and blows it into the room, or car.


To what temperature can a window air conditioner cool your room?

It depends on the BTU of the air coditioner, the cubic footage of space in the room to be cooled, and the temperature and humidity in the room. Under best conditions, an standard air conditioner can only cool a room to the mid 60's. Any colder than this causes the evaporator to ice over, clogging the air flow into the room, which causes the temperature to rise, even though the air conditioner is still running.

Where may i find an industrial air condition?

The price of an industrial air conditioner depends on what type of air conditioner you purchase. The price depends on how much space you are trying to cool. The bigger the space, the bigger and more expensive air conditioner you're going to need.


How is air cooled by air conditioner?

by the process of heat transfer.freon in air conditioner absorbs heat from air,as boiling point of freon is too low.thus air cools


What are the input and outputs for a air conditioner?

The inputs for an air conditioner typically include electrical energy, refrigerant, and thermal energy from the indoor air. The outputs are cooled air, which is circulated back into the indoor space, and heat, which is expelled outside. Additionally, there may be moisture removal as the air conditioner dehumidifies the indoor air. Overall, the system works to lower indoor temperatures and improve comfort.

Does the air conditioner pull air from outside to cool the room?

Yes, an air conditioner pulls in air from outside, cools it through a refrigeration process, and then circulates the cooled air into the room to lower the temperature.

On a window air conditioner should water be discharging from the back?

Whether you get a few drops of water or a more or less constant flow depends on the humidity of the air... If the air being cooled is very humid (= wet, moist, damp) then, when it is cooled down to a lower temperature, that air won't be able to hold so much water. The air conditioner would get flooded if the water it has taken out of the air cannot be discharged.

What is the purpose of the exhaust hose for a portable air conditioner?

The purpose of the exhaust hose for a portable air conditioner is to vent hot air outside of the room being cooled. This helps the air conditioner operate efficiently by removing the heat generated during the cooling process.
