HOW AND

WHY

Your

room

air

conditioner

provides

the

following

functions

to

make

hot

weather

living

more

comfortable:

• Cools

and

circulates

room

air.

• Lowers

humidity

by removing

excess

moisture.

• Filters

out

summertime

dust,

dirt,

and

some

airborne

impurities.

The

air conditioner

performs

these

functions

by

drawing

room

air through

a filter

which

traps

dust

and

dirt

particles.

The

air then

passes

over

a

cooling

coil

which

refrigerates

the

air

and

removes

excess

moisture.

The

same

air is then

returned

to

the

room-

cooler,

drier,

and

cleaner.

Moisture

removed

from

the

room

air

is carried

to the

outside

and

evaporated.

Your

air conditioner

is designed

to be

easy

to

operate

and

to

provide

plenty

of cooling

power.

NORMAL

SOUNDS

FIG.12

Aside

from

the

regular

fan

motor

and

compressor

sounds

coming

from

your

air

conditioner,

you

will

once

in a

while

hear

a pinging

sound.

This

is the

result

of moisture

being

picked

up from

the

air in the

room

and

thrown

against

the

air conditioner's

fan.

This

is normal

and

should

not

be cause

for concern.

Also,

do not

be alarmed

if you

hear

a slight

hissing

or

gurgling

sound

coming

from

your

air conditioner

after

it is off.

These

are normal

coolant

noises.

CAPACITY

AND RUNNING

TIME

Proper

unit size

is important

in deciding

the

desired

comfort

for the

area

you

want

to

cool.

The

proper

size

is determined

by the

number

of square

feet

in

the

area

to be

cooled.

Whenever

the

heat

or humidity

load

is above

normal

the

air conditioner

must

run

longer

and

more

often

to keep

the

desired

temperature

you

have

selected,

Under

heavy

heat

load

conditions

the

air conditioner

may

need

to run constantly

to

keep

the

temperature

you

want.

At times

using

the

HIGH

FAN

setting

to circulate

the

room

air

may

make

it comfortable

even

though

you

do

not

have

the

air

conditioner

set

to cool

the

air.

This

will

decrease

your

cost

of use.

Fan

Compressor

The

modern

high

efficiency

compressor

may

have

a high

pitched

hum

or pulsating

noise

that

cycles

on

and

off.

You

may

hear

air

movement

from

the

fan.

Unit

Vibration

The

unit

may

vibrate

and

make

noise

because

of poor

wall

or window

construction.

Condenser

You

may

hear

droplets

of water

hitting

the

condenser,

causing

a pinging

or

clicking

sound.
