Where can I use a mobile? Mobiles are perfect for the home and office. They need no major installation and connect into a normal 13 amp socket.
How do I work out which air conditioner I need? Cooling power of air conditioners is measured in BTU's or Watts. As a rough guide: Multiply L x W x H of the room. If in feet x 4 = BTU / h required If in metres x 40 = Watts required. Allow for extra heat gain.
How cold can I make a room? There are limits to how cold the room temperature can be made. On most machines this is around 21°C.
How much does an air conditioner cost to run? Most single unit air conditioners have an input power of below 1 KW per hour, therefore the cost to run on full power would be about 6 pence per hour. Split systems have inputs around 1.3 KW per hour so would cost in the region of 9 pence per hour to run on full power.
Where does the heat go? Air Conditioning units actually take heat from the room and expel it to the outside. Single units do this by means of the 1 metre flexible hose. Split units discharge the heat via the external condenser unit.
What if I buy an air conditioner smaller than is needed? When the heat load in a room is greater than the units cooling capacity an air conditioner will be acting as a comfort cooler, taking heat out of the room but not actually reducing the temperature. |
