Hello World! Welcome Friends! Air-conditioning or air con as some people call it is the process whereby warm air or heat energy is pulled out of a building and swapped with cool air coming from outside, in order to make it a cooler temperature inside.
It can be used in both commercial environments as well as domestic environments. More so in countries that have the majority of their year clothed in sunshine or heat waves. Air-conditioning is not only used for cooling but also used to remove humidity from rooms (or dehumidify it). You can find more information by visiting UMG Service.
Then, in 1902, an engineer from New York named Willis Carrier, in his 20’s at the time, developed the first modern air-conditioning system, and the rest is history. Read more about this history here .
Attempts to control our indoor temperatures had already begun early in ancient Rome, the remarkable aqueduct system which circulated cool water through the walls of homes, was a popular idea among the rich and famous.
Such ‘luxuries’ vanished during the Dark Ages, until in the 1800’s the Western world tried to tackle the situation by using their engineers in a well-funded innovation – they built fans and these became the coolant of choice. Although, hand fans were used in China as far back as 3,000 years ago, not to mention a Chinese inventor had built a first of its kind, room- sized rotary fan that was powered by hand, and which he was given credit for.
Fast-forward to the ‘big-breakthrough’- electricity. Which made a lot of things possible including the creation of a motor by a man named Nikola Tesla. Which were used in oscillating fans in the early 20th century.
How Does it Work?
For a detailed review on How air conditioners work: https://home.howstuffworks.com/ac1.htm. The methodology in a nut-shell: it uses a compressor that abbreviates and circulates cool air through the outdoor unit, it changes this from gas to liquid. The composites involved in this part of the process are known as ‘refrigerants’ and they have the ability to change its properties at relatively low temperatures.
The indoor unit’s fan mixes the inside air to pass across the evaporator’s spaces or ‘fins (look like a mesh). These metal fins convert the warm air inside, with the air outside. After turning from liquid into vapor, it removes the heat from the surrounding area. As this heat is removed, the air is cooled down and sent back into the house.
It is a circulatory process which repeats itself; hot air out and cold air in. This process continues repeatedly until your room’s temperature reaches the adjustment that is programmed into your thermostat setting.
Do you Get Different Options?
As a matter of fact, you do. There are several different options of which you should consult a professional air-conditioning company, so they can give you the best advice.
So, if you are not sure, you can speak to a professional and they can do an assessment on the property to find the one that fits the best.
There are many types:
- Central Air Conditioning: this is the most common type of air-conditioner, which has been around for decades. It is one of the most efficient ones on the market and works quickly to cool bigger rooms. They are big, so planning is crucial before installation.
- Window air conditioner or ‘unitary unit’: this system also cools only one room at a time but is usually installed in the window of the room. They blow cool air in the room and warm air outside of the room and are a better option for small rooms.
- Portable air conditioner: Similar to window air conditioners; in that they cool one room at a time. However, these are much easier to install, they are adaptable and are a cheaper option as well. Speaking to an AC repair company, is the best course of action one can take.
- Hybrid air conditioners: the idea of Hybrid has become a popular concept over the past few decades and one that is a fuel efficient and reduced emissions heaven-sent. It’s no wonder the same technology has being used in air-conditioners throughout the world. Similar to Hybrid cars, this system shifts between 2 energy sources to make it easier to save on both energy and price.
