Residential air conditioners are becoming one of the common household items which provide a cool breeze during hot summer seasons. Normally most of the home air conditioners use fluorocarbons. An air conditioner helps to control the temperature and humidity in your place. There are three different types of residential air conditioners. They are ductless split, window room, and the ducted central residential air conditioner systems.
The ductless split air conditioner works the same as the normal air conditioner but doesn’t have ducts in it. The split ac and window ac are equally efficient, the only difference between these air conditioner is split ac has 2 units and window ac has only one unit. The ducted central residential air conditioner is installed within the roof space and has its internal unit.
Most of the air conditioners use Hydrochlorofluro carbon (HCFC), which is a major component of the refrigerator to make it cooler. It’s also the main reason for causing a hole in the ozone layer. So air conditioner manufacturers are trying another component, in place of HCFC which is Hydroflurocarbon 410A. It is energy efficient, and also reduced the emission of carbon dioxide gas.
The Life Cycle Climate Performance index is the measure of the release of carbon dioxide in kilograms and results in warming. The Life cycle climate performance percentage of the warming effect of air conditioner emission is less than 5%. Residential air conditioner system uses lesser hydrocarbon and arrangements are made to provide a risk-free from the fire, which requires additional investments.
The air conditioners which, are made by international standards should have refrigerant in an airtight container so, the amount of carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere is reduced to a great extent. The refrigerants are needed to be built in a good manner. It should be able to recover, recycled, and reclaimed to avoid it to become an atmospheric pollutant.
The serviceman who repairs the residential air conditioner should be professionally trained and experienced to handle any malfunctioning. The serviceman should know the air conditioner standards and follow proper maintenance facilities.
The cost of a residential air conditioner depends on the different brand and model. It also depends on the seasonal energy efficiency ratio which is the ratio of the total cooling output of the air conditioner, when it is in normal usage period and the total energy input at the same time.
