Questions - 1 Why is the minimum temperature of an air conditioner 16 degrees?
Ans:- It's not a technical limitation, if it's a must we can built a machine which can bring down temperature down to 0°C, but that's not the point here, after all we are not looking for a cold storage, right??
The purposes of Air-Conditioner is to provide a comfortable temperature for the occupants, & definitely not an unbearable temperature for the occupants..!
16°C temperature is already too low temperature for a humans wearing normal cloths. For infants and people wearing loose cotton cloths this would create problems..!
22-24°C and 50% relative humidity is the most comfortable temperature for humans(Will change depending up on clothing, genter, age air movement etc).
More over reducing the temperate below 16°C will require lot of power consumption. The size of the compressor itself should be big enough to do the additional work.
Also too low temperature will reduce the humidity inside the room, [you might have seen water droplets coming out of Air-Conditioner].
If temperature settings are too low, lot of such water vapours will be removed from the room which will make our skin dry..!
So set the temperature of Air-Conditionioner to around 22–24°C & it's best temperature for human body..!
Minimum temp is set to 16 for few reason
1st
human comfort is defined by ASHRAE std and too low temp can be a health risk
2nd
Too low temp can damage evaporators coil and to protect them the temp are always set high
3rd
The air conditioner will consume more power as it has to do more work now to bring the room temperature from ambient to 14 or 15 C

ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for sharing these facts about temperature limits of an AC unit. What would happen if the temperature was constantly changed over a course of time? Would it greatly damage the compressor? I hope you can answer my questions because we're thinking of getting Anderson Air to install an AC unit in preparation for the hot months.
