Residential Air Conditioners

residential air conditioners is becoming common household items providing cool breeze during the hot summer months. In the United States of America alone there are approximately 60 million domestic air conditioners that use fluorocarbons. Through them we can have controlled temperature and humidity in our place. There are three types of residential air conditioners. They are the window room, ductless split system and networks connected residential central air conditioner.

Most air conditioners use Hydrochloroflurocarbon (HCFCs), which is a major component of refrigerators and has severe repercussions on the ozone layer more and larger hole. Thus, the factory trying to go to another component or Hydroflurocarbon 410A which is very energy efficient and reduces emissions of carbon dioxide.

Life Cycle Climate Performance (LCCP) index is a measure of the release of carbon dioxide in kilograms causing global warming. The percentage of LCCP due to the warming effect of emissions of refrigerant from the air conditioner is a little less than 5%.

The use of hydrocarbons in residential air conditioning system is smaller and measures must be taken to reduce fire hazard, which requires additional investment.

International standards for air conditioners that have refrigerant in air tight containers so that the release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been reduced to a large extent. The refrigerant must be recovered, recycled and recovered and should not become an air pollutant.

There should be military trained professionals who know the operation of residential air conditioner and can handle all failures. They must be in compliance with air standards and should have adequate maintenance facilities.

The cost of a residential air conditioner would be about $ 500 to $ 10,000 and this depends on the different makes and models. It also depends on its seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER), which is the ratio of total cooling air conditioner when it is in times of normal and total energy intake at the same time.
