How does air conditioning work

Air conditioners work using a very simple scientific principle which is called phase conversion. According to this, when a liquid gets converted to a gas, the process absorbs heat from the air. In case of modern air conditioners, the chemical compounds used in the form of a liquid are called refrigerants. They are kept inside the evaporator coils, so that when the indoor air enters the circuit of the coil, the refrigerants are converted to a gaseous form, thereby absorbing the heat and cooling the indoor air. There is also a fan used around the coils and the fan helps to blow the air over the refrigerant coils in an even manner, so that the cooling process can occur more efficiently. This is how it happens in separate units. In central air conditioners, the principle used is the same, only there a more sophisticated and intricate system is used. Central ACs, for example, use a whole complex of ducts which funnel the indoor air to and from the refrigerant coils.How does air conditioning work: The other end of the process This is only one part of the story, though. For the conditioners to go on working, the liquid that is

How to Winterize Your Air Conditioner

Other than the usual functional reasons why you should consider winterizing your air conditioner, many homeowners do it because it helps to save some money in the long run. During the winter season, the only way you can protect your air conditioner is to winterize it. It is one way of ensuring that your air conditioner is prepared for the cold weather. Winterizing your air conditioner technically means preparing it for the cold season ahead. There are several ways in which one can ensure that this is done properly. The first step always involves turning off the system by disconnecting the switch at the breaker panel.

Air conditioning expo heats up

Mark your calendars! The 2011 Air Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration Exposition (AHR) is already slated to be the largest air conditioning event in the company’s 80 years of shows. Las Vegas will once again host the AHR Expo and with over 1,300 companies already scheduled for the January 31st through February 2nd event, next year’s show could very well make history. The pumped-up venue stems from the public outcry for increased environmentally friendly air conditioning and heating equipment and a greater selection of energy savings results. The AHR Expo plans to not disappoint. AHR already tops the air conditioning and heating show charts, but organizers are looking to expand even more, by presenting consumers and business owners with a wide variety of options. Over 120 countries have expressed interest in attending next year’s event. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), co-sponsor the event and have touted the 2011 AHR Expo as being one for the record books.

Keep Your Commercial HVAC System Running Properly

A Commercial HVAC system is a huge investment that require proper care in order to work efficiently. Neglecting your HVAC system will increase your energy cost and reduce your unit’s life span. Here are some tips on how to take care of your commercial HVAC system. Take Advantage of Off-peak Season Most people wait until peak season to perform maintenance on their HVAC units. During this time, there is a higher demand for technicians, and the cost for this service tends to go up. A good way to go about this would be scheduling your cooling maintenance during winter. This way, when summer sets in, you won’t have much to worry about as far as emergency repair is concerned. Preventive Commercial HVAC System Maintenance Most people neglect servicing their units simply because it still “runs”. However, waiting until your unit breaks down to take action can be costly in more ways than one. For starters, worn out components in your system will not only increase energy cost but also interfere with indoor air quality. Regular maintenance ensures your unit continues cleaning your air, while reducing energy costs. Replacement Vs Repair In some cases, replacing a worn out HVAC system is

Air conditioning alert: global alliance and iiar unite

The recent annual IIAR Conference and Exhibition proved promising for two major temperature-controlled industry leaders. A partnership was formed between Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA) and the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR) in an attempt to become the largest team for industrial application of natural refrigeration. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed in the presence of GCCA president, Bill Hudson, and IIAR Chair Brian Marriott. Improving the cold storage end is the ultimate goal behind the newfound partnership. Cold storage warehouses require improved technology to effectively feed the hungry. Ammonia refrigeration could aid in this effort, particularly in third world countries. International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration and Global Cold Chain Alliance agree that maintaining individuality, while working together towards the advancement of refrigeration resources is their main objective.

Surge Protectors and HVAC: What You Need to Know

Power surges are the biggest threat to electrical appliances. If there are no protective systems to protect a device from voltage spikes, its circuit will be fried during a power surge, making the device useless. This is the reason why homeowners often spend a lot of money on surge protectors. Unfortunately, many of these homeowners forget to protect their HVAC systems against power surges. This can be a costly mistake considering the cost of procuring and installing HVAC systems. Read on to learn more about HVAC surge protectors. The Importance of Surge Protection in HVAC Systems A few decades ago, HVAC systems had very few parts that could be damaged by power surges. Modern HVAC systems, however, contain printed circuit boards and electronic components that are susceptible to the destructive power of voltage spikes. A power surge can either cause minor damage that may not have an immediate effect on the performance of the system, or serious damage that will lead to complete system failure. Common Causes of Power Surges There are three common causes of power surges. The first is lightning strikes on power lines, which will inject millions of volts into the grid. The second is irregularities in the
