The refrigerant lines joining the indoor coil and the condensing unit are precharged at the factory, wimplifying work on the job The compressor is conâ€" trolled by an indoor therâ€" mostat, preferably comâ€" bined with the heating thermostat _ to _ prevent operation of the furnace and The cooled liquid refrigerant is now pumped back to the evaporator coil, where it is again expanded to a low pressure and, as a consequence, low _ temâ€" perature so it can pick up heat from the indoor air. time The gaseous refrigerant containing the heat is drawn back to the "Compressor‘‘ or pump located in the condenâ€" sing unit, where its pressure and, as a consequence, its temperature are raised. At this higher temperature, the heat can now be rejected. This is done in the condensor coil, where either air or water can be used to take away the heat from the refrigerant. This determines whether the condensing unit will be of the air cooled or water cooled type. Air cooled units are normally installed outdoors, while water cooled units are always installed indoor‘. Residential Air Conâ€" ditioning is rapidly becoming commonplace in the Toronto area. With the advent of air conditioned restaurants, theatres and offices, it is only natural for the homeowner to want the same comfort conditions in his home, particularly with the hot, humid summers in this area. To meet this demand, equipment manuâ€" facturers have concentrated much time and effort on designing and selling equipâ€" ment ideally suited to this segment of the air condiâ€" tioning market. Today, summer comfort is available at the lowest cost in history. The true definition of air conditioning is "the simultaâ€" neous control of temperaâ€" ture, humidity, air moveâ€" ment, air cleanliness and freshness, all accomplished at acceptable sound levels." This article deals only with the central cooling unit which provides summer temperature and humidity control. Principle of Operation Circulated air is passed over a finned copper tube evaporator coil, located in the air duct system. The air is cooled approximately 20 degrees F to 25 degrees F and, in the process, moisture is condensed from the air and collected in a pan thence to a drain pipe. The heat taken from the air has been transferred to a refrigerant, normally a ‘"Freon‘ type. Better living with _ air _ conditioning It is equally important to have the equipment perform at a capacity as close to the estimated load as possible. If the equipment is too small, it will not provide the designed 75 degree temperature inside when the outside temâ€" perature is 90 degrees. If it is too large, then it will be constantly cycling on and off, thereby shortening the life of the equipment. It has so much capacity that the unit only runs for a few minutes to satisfy the load. Choosing the equipment and the installing contractor to air condition your home is a decision many people find difficult. Each one says his equipment is best for your SIZING : It is most imporâ€" tant to have a detailed survey of your house and to have it carried out by a Professional Engineer. He will consider such things as room sizes, window areas, the direction they face, shading from porches, trees and adjacent buildings, roof colour, brick colour, wall construction, duct distribution system, furnace fan capacity, furnace conâ€" dition, electrical service size, drain provisions and many other points. â€" All very important to the proper sizing of the cooling system and to the verification that the present heating distribution system will satisfy the cooling requirements. Residential air conditioning popular EVER INCREASING NUMBER OF UNITS â€" The Westonâ€"Y ork Times, Thursday, May 20, 1971 The final selection should be left to the contractor.

How Big Should the System Because the â€" central cooling unit must perform two functions, temperature control and humidity conâ€" trol, unit size is very imâ€" portant. The Heating, Refriâ€" geration and Air Condiâ€" tioning Association _ of Canada states that the suggested rate of capacity of the unit should not be less than 9 per cent, nor more than 115 per cent of the calculated cooling requirement of the house. Therefore a proper heat gain for your home _ must calculated to select the correct equipment size. Too large a unit will result in "swamp cooling‘‘ â€" a cool, damp atmosphere. Too small a unit will result in the temperature not being maintained at 15 degree F below the outdoor temâ€" perature. _ The following figures can be used a rough estimate of system capacity: 1 ton â€" 600â€"800 square feet of conditioned space. There are many "QFF~ periods during even a humid day, and the inside air will be very, very, "CLAMMY". Some _ manufacturers, have a variety of sizes of the major components of the cooling systems.
