The Purpose For Which You Need Air Conditioner
Air conditioners are designed for cooling following types of ares:
- Residential area
- Office area in buildings
- Industrial area
So we need to choose any one from different capacities of air conditioners, measured in tons.
The tonnage in an AC tells that how much heat it can remove in a day. If your choice of AC is 2 ton, means, it removes as much heat as 2 ton of ice.
It should be said that when we tak in technical terms, this heat is measured in BTU (British Thermal Unit).
We conclude that residential areas don’t require air conditioners with more tons. As the area increases, we should also increase the capacity of the AC, measured in tons, for efficient cooling.
Types of Air Conditioner
- Window AC
These ACs come with the evaporator and compressor built in a single unit. It is installed in the window of a room. It separates the heated air through the air pipe into outer space.
The drawback of these air conditioners is that they are noisy. In many parts of the world, it has vanished. While in India, it is still quite popular and is in use.
The advantage of this over others is that these air conditioners are cheaper, easy to install, and easy service as compared to the others.
- Split AC
In split ACs, the air conditioning system is made up of two separate units. The air-cooled condensing unit called the compressor unit is placed outside the air-conditioned area whereas the air-handling unit is inside the room where the AC is fixed.
It is said that the split ACs are a huge upgrade from the traditional window ACs.
Big upside of the split air conditioner is that it could be multi-split AC, in which it can connect up to 5 indoor units to 1 outdoor unit.
- Portable AC
These air conditioners can be taken from one place to another place easily without any installation required. So its most obvious upside is that the same AC can be used in different rooms.
The major concern with this type of ACs is how you are going to arrange the heat dispersal pipe.
