My air conditioning is not working. What should I do?
As the outside temperatures rise and the sun is beating through the windows, it is tempting to turn your portable air conditioning down to as low as 16 degrees, thinking that the colder the air conditioner is set, the faster it will cool the room. In fact, this is not how the cooling units work. Whatever the temperature is set at, an air conditioner will pump out the same amount of cool air, and setting it at a lower temperature only tells it when to stop pumping out the cool air, rather than speeding up the cooling effect. The air conditioning units should ideally be set at around 24/25 degrees, to ensure that the units are not working so hard that they stop working altogether. The models most affected by the hot temperatures are the Climatemaster, KY32, Trotec 2600, PKY12 or Compact 12, whereas units such as the Weltems, can cope with the exceptional temperatures. If your portable air conditioner does stop working or is not cooling the room, ...
If we go by inside/outside temperatures on a summer day, we will open the windows when it is cooler outside. But this can be a mistake if the inside is at a lower humidity than the outside ambient. The a/c will eventually have to work harder to extract humidity. There's probably an enthalpy equation that applies or maybe usage of a sling psychrometer but I'm looking for something I can actually use to minimize the a/c workload. pay a visit here
