The meaning of air conditioner is
the machine which conditions the air of a closed space (bedroom or dining room)
from moisture and dirt molecules. An AC absorbs the moisture and dirt in the
atmosphere to release the fresh, dehumidified and dirt free version of the air
into the same room atmosphere. Moisture is nothing but a form of water attached
to the room air.
The AC machines consume energy to absorb the air and release
the same. At first it detects the room temperature and if it is higher than the
desired (as fixed by the user) then it start to absorb the room air and tries
to remove the moisture and dirt to supply a fresh, dehumidified and dirt free
air into the room which also reduce the room temperature as moisture along with
dirt particles can consume thermal energy which can in turn increase the
overall temperature of the room.
That is why if moisture can be
reduced from the room air then AC will be required to work less. If dirt is
also prevented to enter the room then the AC in that room will consume least
energy compared to other rooms where no such precautions are adopted.
How can you remove moisture from
the air?
1. Keep
orchids inside the room. Orchids need moisture for their sustenance. They can
use the moisture content of the room air to make their food and as there is no outside
supply of moisture in a closed room, the moisture will start to reduce.
2. Do
not keep aquariums inside the room as evaporation from the water will add
moisture instead of reducing them.
3. Keep
ten to twenty bags of mica in the room as mica is an active absorbent of
moisture.
4. If
you have flower vase or trees inside the room cover the soil or water surface
with a cloth to prevent evaporation of water from the soil and water surface.
5. The
people with wet cloth must not enter the room until their cloth gets dried out.
Wet cloth is a good source of moisture and these can increase the moisture
content in the room when someone enters after a bath.
How to remove dirt from the air?
1. The
use of shoes must be prevented inside an AC room. Shoe or chappals are a good
carrier of dirt and if anyone enters the room from outside he/she must be asked
to remove his/her shoeware before entering.
2. The
surface of the soil or water of an agrarian or an aquarium must be covered
because they are also well known for supplying dirt molecules into the room
atmosphere.
3. Clothes,
shoe and books are well-known for their ability to carry dirt. Often they are
found within layers of dirt. So such products must be kept inside a locker or
Almirah.
4. The
computers in an AC room must be cleaned daily and with a brush not with clothes
or tissue papers. Computers are also known for their ability to become
‘attached’ with dirt molecules. But if they are covered with a plain cloth such
problems will not arise.
5. Even
after taking so many precautions dirt may enter the room through the gaps in
the door and window. So such gaps must be removed or sealed with adhesive
materials.When dirt and moisture is remover or reduced
from the room atmosphere then the requirement of the AC to consume energy will be
reduced. Less consumption of electricity will also reduce the monthly
electricity bill. So if anyone has a AC follow these steps so that you can save
more.
