How well do window air conditioners work?
Q. How well do the air conditioners that you put in your window work? Do they get the room really cold, or just a little cold? Are they worth getting? My room is 165 sq ft.

A. Window units works great. Yes they will cool the room. Make sure you get the size that is adequate for your room. Window units was all I used until I moved in a house with central air.

How does the hum of air conditioners and other electronic equipment affect a person's hearing?
Q. For a physics assignment I need to describe how the hum of air conditioners and other electronic equipment can have a detrimental affect on ones hearing. Low frequencies and low intensity vibrations affect a person psychologically, but insofar I can find no evidence to suggest that due to a particularly low frequency a person's hearing would be affected. If anyone has any information that would be greatly appreciated.

A. As the small bones of the inner ear vibrates from exposure to sound, the brain processes this vibration the same as it processes all others. This processed vibration has no beneficial effect to add to the brain, and blocking the noise can cause a subdued irritation to develop in the subliminal parts of the brain. The brain gets the response to move from the unnecessary vibration as a self preservation instinct against this intrusive vibration, and subsequent inner ear fluid movement. The inner ear can be the source of many problems related to balance and vertigo is a common result.

Do air conditioners take up more money the lower the temperature?
Q. Hi, everyone. I want to know for a fact, do air conditioners take up more money the lower you put the temperature? Or could I put the temperature at any number i want and still have to pay a steady amount? Please, don't just guess, I want to know for a fact if this is true. Thnx!

A. Your air conditioner works against the outside temperature. The more work it does, the more energy it uses. In general, if you set the temperature higher, you pay less for cooling. (That fan works all the time, but the compressor turns on & off as the thermostat calls for more cooling. The compressor is the larger load. The longer it spends running, the more you pay.)

A. Are you running it in heat or in air condition mode? If you are running in heat and you have a heat pump it will have frost/ice build up for at least 60 to 90 minutes then it will go into defrost to melt the ice, if after that time has expired and you still have ice/frost then you have problem with defrost board. IF you are running it in cooling and getting ice/frost on the coil you have problems. Shouldn't be ice or frost on coil, maybe on the piping at the unit then i say you undercharged or overcharged or dirty indoor coil, filter or blower problems.

A. a 1000 wt unit uses a kilowatt in one hour. You should be able to look at you electrical bill and determine the cost per hour of use. How long will the air conditioner run, it will depend upon the area that you are trying to cool and the ambient temperature of the room. It will also depend upon how cool you like the room. A one kilowatt unit will not be very effective in cooling a large area, nor reducing the temperature a great deal.

Asked by Neil S - Wed Apr 1 09:25:59 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Two factors contribute to this increased efficiency: First, fuzzy logic control can take advantage of air conditioning machinery which can be set to different levels of output. A thermostats is simply a thermometer, with an electrical switch set to turn "on" when the temperature exceeds the selected threshold. Some air conditioning systems, though, can scale their output (for example by turning on some or all of their units). Fuzzy logic can scale its demand for air conditioning, based on the temperature and humidity. Second, fuzzy logic allows for a more sophisticated control process. Rather than activating the air conditioning system only when it is either "too hot" or "too humid", it can also do so when it is merely "warm and… [cont.]

A. Two factors contribute to this increased efficiency: First, fuzzy logic control can take advantage of air conditioning machinery which can be set to different levels of output. A thermostats is simply a thermometer, with an electrical switch set to turn "on" when the temperature exceeds the selected threshold. Some air conditioning systems, though, can scale their output (for example by turning on some or all of their units). Fuzzy logic can scale its demand for air conditioning, based on the temperature and humidity. Second, fuzzy logic allows for a more sophisticated control process. Rather than activating the air conditioning system only when it is either "too hot" or "too humid", it can also do so when it is merely "warm and… [cont.]
