Things Buyers Should Know About Air Conditioners

​

The weather can change very rapidly; one would say it acts as a thief thus won't give you any notice. Due to that factor of the weather, it is always advisable that every home should have an air conditioner to curb that situation. The primary function of air conditioner it to allow ventilation in your house moving heat from inside the house to allow cool air inside. So in simpler words, it pulls heat from the air thus giving fresh air opportunity to ventilate in your home. How the air is made cool is through blowing it on evaporated coils also known as cool pipes. The tubes are filled with refrigerant which is a special liquid that changes from liquid to gas as it evaporates the heat that is found in the air. Once that Is done the refrigerant is pumped to a condenser where it changes to liquid as it gives out its heat. The outside pipe is known as a condenser because it converts the air into liquid.

​

The compressor is the brain of every air conditioner because it coordinates the movement of the refrigerant from the two pipes so that it many condenses and evaporate on the right tubes.  All the energy of the compressor comes from a certain motor which runs it. Though the approximate cooling time is less than three minutes depending on the air conditioner, make, and this is brought about with the changing of the liquid to gas and vice versa thus saving the energy.  Though the mechanism on the air conditioner may seem very complicated the system is capable of meeting an individual workload or work condition and if it surpasses its normal state, it might break down. Every air conditioner has its particular limit meaning you can't have a small air conditioner serving a huge hall it will have some malfunction.

Each air conditioner, according to its capacity has a certain amount of refrigerant also known as "charge." Meaning the coils can only take a certain degree of air flow and when any of these are increased the air conditioner will not be able to handle it thus break down. Another cause of malfunctioning is if the heat inside the house passes the limit it will stop because it's unable to keep up. If the refrigerant charge leaks or the air across the outdoor coil is lowered especially in the dry climate with high indoor humidity's, the compressor will not be able to take it and break down leaving you with high expenses and no cool air.

​

It is recommended to run routine maintenance like changing the filters and cleaning the coils in every start of summer or better still seek professional services from an air conditioning maintaining personnel. If you have any further questions, click here.
