What are Different Kinds of Air Conditioners?
A good ventilation and air conditioning system
is very important to keep the house cool, comfortable and dry. Every
house, office and building needs proper ventilation so that flow of
fresh air remains continuous all the time and people living and
working in it can breathe properly. If you are looking for home
improvement it is essential that you pay primary importance towards
ventilation of your house.
In this article we will discuss some types of AC:
Window Mounted AC
The sole purpose of any AC is to provide cooling, filtration and
reducing humidity. The size of window mounted AC may vary from a
cooling capability of 5000 BTUs to 12,500 BTUs. The window mounted
AC are fixed on the window of a room or office and they start
pulling the hot air and impurity out and keep the room cool and at
low temperature. It is vital that you choose the correct size of AC
according to your cooling needs. When you choose an undersized AC,
you may not be able to enjoy full efficiency due to its small size.
Due to increasing environmental pollution and raising alarm of
global warming we experience 1 degree rise in actual temperature
every year. AC and ventilating systems help in tackling the rising
heat gently.
Portable AC’s
They are smaller in size and are not efficient in cooling a large
area. They are often using to cool a small area falling between
400-450 sq. feet. It is build on wheels and can be easily moved from
one place to another. The advantage of portable AC over fixed AC is
that you can easily take them to any room you want. The portable
conditioners have both the cool and the hot side in same unit. It is
not installed permanently and has to be connected near some place
like a door or window so that hot air released from it can escape
easily. It comes in a dual or single vent. The dual vent AC
circulates the cool air more rapidly and is more effective than the
single dent AC. There are some drip models of portable conditioners
whose water dray has to be cleaned and emptied after a day or two.
Window Fans
Window fans are also great source of air conditioning and do not
contain any CFC’s as compared to the high cooling air conditioners.
They allow a lot of fresh air in the room and throws out the stale
and impure air. The general size for a window fan is 20’’. The large
window fans are little fussy to install. There are smaller units
also available in the market that are quiet easy to install. The
window fans are very helpful in reducing the smoke and fumes in the
house that is collected in the cooking process and the heat released
by the electric appliances.
AC and ventilation is very essential part of home improvement and
you must pay extreme importance towards installing them in your
house while constructing it.
