Only an ill maintained air conditioning system can make you ill. A well maintained air conditioning system can only contribute to a healthier environment.
An air conditioner works similar to a refrigerator. The refrigerant flows through the system, and changes in state or condition. There are four processes in the 'refrigeration cycle'.
The legionella bacteria is a natural inhabitant of water.
Throughout the ages, we have sought to improve the level of comfort offered by our surroundings. In colder regions, we have tried to heat our dwellings and in warmer climates, to cool them down because if we are not comfortable, we can neither work nor relax.
Heat always flows from a warmer substance to a cooler one. In reality, the faster moving molecules transfer some of their energy to slower ones. Thus the faster molecules slow down a little and the slower ones speed up. Expressed simply, this means that when it is hot outside, the heat attemps to 'invade' colder interior spaces.
The inverter technology is integrated in the outdoor unit. The inverter technology can be compared to the technology in a car: " The harder you push your accelerator, the faster you go."
Cold draughts are sometimes associated with air conditioning and indeed, this can be caused by incorrectly conceived systems.
Sound pressure level (Lp) Is a measure of the sound energy emitted from a source of noise, expresses in decibel or dBA
Two forms of heat are relevant in air conditioning:
The terms COP (coefficient of performance) and EER (energy efficiency ratio) describe the heating and cooling efficiency of air conditioners.
A heat pump extracts low temperature energy from the environment and increases its temperature for heating purposes.
Allergens are impurities in the air that can bring on an allergic reaction.
Catechin is a natural anti-bacterial substance derived from tea leaves that kills germs that can attach to these particles.
