Air Conditioning: An Essential Commodity

An air conditioning unit today is an important part of every household, with temperatures rising every year during the summer months, it is unimaginable to contemplate life without some sort of air conditioning system in place, and has become an essential commodity.

 

Air conditioning is a means of controlling the interior environment of buildings through the circulation, filtration, refrigeration and dehumidification of air, and many years before the term air conditioning was used to describe a mechanical system, the Houses of Parliament in London had a comprehensive and controversial scheme for cooling, heating, and circulation of air.

 

The outside air was drawn into a duct, passed through filtering sheets, heated by a hot water heater or cooled over blocks, of ice, then drawn up through holes in the floor into the House of Commons, and the used air was drawn up by the heat of a ventilating fire through raised panels in a glass ceiling and discharged.

 

Air conditioning is part of the terminology that we use known as HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), the equipment should be able to alter air temperature and humidity, and circulate and mix air, as well as filter and purify air.

 

Heating which represents the ‘H' in HVAC has always been associated with radiators, furnaces, fire places and stoves, and as most people will know radiators are fed with hot water from boilers, a fire place and a stove provide heat by burning wood or coal, and of course a furnace uses fossil fuel.

 

The ventilation or the ‘V' in HVAC relates to air circulation and movement, and its purpose is for the safety and comfort of an occupant in any given space, and lastly the ‘AC' is an abbreviation of air conditioning, and the very word ‘conditioning' suggests that any air conditioners should condition the air for a comfort level that is perfect for a household.

 

Most people associate air conditioners as just a cooling system, especially consumers in the UK, for the simple reason that the British have for some years been way behind other countries around the world when it comes to the installation of air conditioning, having said that, the UK is fast catching up, and more and more businesses and homeowners are taking air conditioning very seriously.

 

An air conditioner is a very tough piece of equipment, it can withstand all sorts of abuse and just keeps running, this can lead to complacency about maintenance, like everything air conditioners need regular maintenance to run properly, and without this the system can loose about 5% of it's original efficiency, on the other hand studies have shown if maintained regularly air conditioning units can maintain up to 95% of its original efficiency.

 

A spokesman for Climachill, Sussex's leading air conditioning specialists said, "we offer all sorts of central air conditioning systems also portable air conditioners nationwide, and our breakdown and maintenance service is second to none, we think after sales support is so important, and on a maintenance visit we check everything, refrigerant levels, electrical connections, change filters, clean indoor evaporator, also outdoor condenser, and more importantly check the system is running correctly".

does my car air circulator still work?

what do i do with my car when the air/smell outside still gets into the car even if my car air circulator is already on/lighted? is it broken? can i fix it on my own? what's wrong?

I thought most cars have vent systems which allow fresh air in always.
