| In scorching hot weather conditions it is extremely difficult to concentrate on work and live. Thus, air conditioning systems have turned into a basic necessity there rather than a luxury thing. It was first launched by Stuart Cramer, but the word was coined by W. Carrier.
The air conditioner reduces the humidity level of air and maintains its quality. There are air conditioners which dry the air without cooling it. The air conditioner normally consists of a condenser, an evaporator and a compressor. It also uses a chemical to convert liquid to gas and vice versa.
Air conditioners come in two kinds: a split and a package system. In the split system, the condenser and the compressor are placed outside the room and the evaporator intended for circulating the air around the room is placed inside the room. In the package system, all components are placed outside the room.
There are small, mid-sized and large ACs. The most widely used air conditioner is the window air conditioner which is installed on a window and designed for cooling a particular room. If more than one room is to be cooled, choose a split or a mini-split AC, hinging on how many rooms you need to cool. The most popular ones are portable air conditioners that can be moved around. For cooling the entire house opt for central air conditioners.
Portable air conditioning systems are beneficial, since you can use them in whichever room you want. It is a transportable appliance supplied with wheels so that you can easily move it from one room to another.
The only downside of the air cooler is electricity bills that can adversely impact on one's budget. However, here are several tips to help you decrease the total amount of electricity consumed by your AC and, therefore, electricity bills:
• Do not place the air conditioner where the Sun faces it directly. This makes the air conditioning use more electricity for cooling your room.
• Do not purchase a large air conditioner for a small-sized room.
• Keep doors and windows closed, when the AC is in on.
So, proper deployment of the AC will save electricity. |
