Q-
How does an AC unit work and what are the basic kinds
of AC units available?
A- Air conditioners employ the same operating principles
and basic components as your home refrigerator. An air
conditioner cools your home with a cold indoor coil
called the evaporator. The condenser, a hot outdoor
coil, releases the collected heat outside. The evaporator
and condenser coils are serpentine tubing surrounded
by aluminum fins. This tubing is usually made of copper.
A pump, called the compressor, moves a heat transfer
fluid (or refrigerant) between the evaporator and the
condenser. The pump forces the refrigerant through the
circuit of tubing and fins in the coils. The liquid
refrigerant evaporates in the indoor evaporator coil,
pulling heat out of indoor air and thereby cooling the
home. The hot refrigerant gas is pumped outdoors into
the condenser where it reverts back to a liquid giving
up its heat to the air flowing over the condenser's
metal tubing and fins.
The
three basic types of air conditioners are room air conditioners,
split-system central air conditioners, and packaged
central air conditioners. Room air conditioners cool
rooms rather than the entire home. If they provide cooling
only where they're needed, room air conditioners are
less expensive to operate than central units, even though
their efficiency is generally lower than that of central
air conditioners. A split-system central air conditioner.
Q.
How often should I replace my AC filter and why?
A-
Most filters should be changed approximately once a
month to insure good air flow.
Clogged
filters can cause the system to freeze up or not blow
conditioned air, or can cause the reset button on the
CU to trip and shut down the unit. Also a clogged filter
will make your unit run longer and thereby increase
your electric bills.
Q.
Are all air filters the same?
A-
No. Air filters such as AirBear filters do not require
changing on a monthly schedule. AirBear filters can
be changed approximately every 6 months. However, you
should still check it monthly to insure that it is still
serviceable.
We
suggest the use of pleated media filters as opposed
to fiber media.
