Mechanical Air Conditioner
|
It is a compact mechanical system(including fans, evaporator, compressor, condenser and air filter) to control the indoor temperature and humidity.
- Both window-type and split-type conditioner are not effective air ventilation systems, as they are designed to condition indoor air (Fig 3a).
- Must be complemented by exhaust fan with some opened windows or louvers in order to provide adequate fresh air, even if some air conditioners have vent valves within their systems (only a small opening) (Fig 3b);
- Switch on circulating fan to enhance air movement within the premises;
- Remove any obstruction to the ventilation inlet or outlet; and
- Clean the air filter and AC louver regularly;
