| Temperatures rise in several areas quite noticeably in the summertime. Therefore , many of us have home air conditioning systems. However, do we know how these units work? How does one assume they work? Do they lower temperature in your homes by simply pumping cool air in? Nevertheless, this is not the real case. What they do is they removed warm air from your home and cycle back in cooler air. This cycle will continue till your thermostat reaches the specified temperature. It is like a refrigerator without the insulated box. It uses the evaporation of a refrigerant to provide cooling. Home air conditioning, similar to refrigerators, uses the mechanics of the Freon evaporation cycle. First, the compressor compresses cool Freon gas, leading it to become hot, hi-pressure Freon gas. Then this hot gas runs thru a collection of coils so it can dissipate its heat and it condenses into a liquid. The Freon liquid then runs through an enlargement valve, and in the middle, it evaporates to become cold, low-pressure gas. This cold gas will then run thru a collection of coils that allow the gas to absorb heat and cool down the air within your home or building. Lightweight oil is also mixed with Freon to lubricate the compressor. However, your home air conditioning system does not only help in keeping your home cool, they also help clean your house's air as well. Most products have filters that catch dust, pollen, mold spores and other allergens as well as smoke and everyday dirt found in the air. They also work as dehumidifiers. Excess water from the air is removed and used to help chill the unit before losing the water thru a hose outside. Other products use the condensed moisture to enhance potency by routing the cooled water back into the system to be reused. This is the general concept involved in this kind of system. With these devices, you not only have a cooler home, you will also have cleaner air in your homes! In addition, it doesn't work as simply as you believe they should. . | |
