Air Conditioning
 What
is air conditioning? Air conditioning for buildings can be divided into two
categories, comfort cooling and close-control air conditioning.
Both types entail the control of temperature, with or without heating, but
always with cooling, ventilation and air filtration. The quality of filtration
and ventilation can vary to suit your requirements, but cooling is always an integral
part and is necessary where a build up of heat inside a building will otherwise
cause discomfort to the people inside or damage to property. It is the amount
of water vapour in the air, which when coupled with warm air temperatures can
make most people very uncomfortable. The hot sticky feeling- lethargy sets in
and your clothing becomes very uncomfortable.
Cooling not only reduces the air temperature, it also reduces the humidity,
and this is what provides a comfortable atmospheric environment. Humidity control
can be added to any air conditioning system, but to control humidity closely,
requires a humidifier, some precise electrical/electronic controls. To provide
close-control air conditioning you have to control both temperature and humidity
levels. To acomplish this you often have to cool the air to reduce the humidity,
then re-heat it so that the temperature is comfortable, then put more water vapour
into the air to return the humidity back to acceptable levels. All this can be
very costly not to mention a waste of energy if its not really needed. Only a
few industrial processes, or very specific electronic equipment require close-control
air conditioning.
Who needs air conditioning? Retail shops, offices, pubs, your sitting
room at home. Air conditioning may be found in all these places and more. Air
conditioning has been available in the UK for many years.
 Why
do I need air conditioning? Chances are, you spend some time in a building
with people, electronic equipment, lights, windows. All give off heat into the
air, with the exception of windows which allow heat from the sun to pass through
the glass and warm up your room. If you open up a window in the summer, you will
let in humid, hot air, fumes and noise. You cannot remove this heat with fans
because all that will happen is the problem will worsen and you will introduce
more warm humid air. You could have air conditioning for your office, living room,
workshop, bedroom, or shop for not as much as might imagine.
