  Air conditioner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Air conditioner equipment cooling capacity in the U.S. is often described in terms of "tons of refrigeration".
Residential air conditioning is ubiquitous in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong, especially in the latter two due to most of the population living in small high-rise flats in warm climates.
Still, the lack of air conditioning in homes, in residential care homes, and in medical facilities was identified as a contributing factor to the estimated 35,000 deaths left in the wake of the 2003 heat wave.

 Central Missouri - Air Conditioning
The heat removed from the air and transferred to the refrigerant is then rejected to a cooling fluid stream (typically water in southern climates).
Central air conditioners are rated according to their seasonal energy efficiency ratio, or SEER.
Air conditioners are sized according to Btus of heat removed per hour, or in "tons" of refrigeration, with one ton equaling 12,000 Btus per hour.

 EERE Consumer's Guide: Central Air Conditioners
Air conditioners help to dehumidify the incoming air, but in extremely humid climates or in cases where the air conditioner is oversized, it may not achieve a low humidity.
In a packaged central air conditioner, the evaporator, condenser, and compressor are all located in one cabinet, which usually is placed on a roof or on a concrete slab next to the house's foundation.
Air supply and return ducts come from indoors through the home's exterior wall or roof to connect with the packaged air conditioner, which is usually located outdoors.

 Central Heat & Air
In fact, a room air conditioner that's too big for the area it is supposed to cool will perform less efficiently and less effectively than a smaller, properly sized unit.
If you have a central air system in your home, set the fan to shut off at the same time as the cooling unit (compressor).
Evaporative coolers provide mechanical cooling to a building by either direct contact of air with water (direct evaporative cooler) or a combination of a first-stage heat exchanger to pre-cool the air and a second stage with direct air contact with water (indirect/direct evaporative cooler).

 Air Conditioning
Air from the outdoor fan blows across these fins and it loses some of its heat.
This gas then absorbs heat from the air traveling across the coil which is pulled in through the return air and into a sealed duct system by the indoor fan.
As the warm air passes over the coil and is cooled it can't hold the same amount of moisture.

Central air conditioners are split systems: an outdoor unit (the condensing unit) and an indoor unit (air handler).
The function of an air conditioner is to transport heat from one station to another.
Air conditioners cool your home by removing heat from the indoor air and transferring that heat to the outdoor air.

 Central Air Conditioning
Central air conditioning, in which entire residences and other buildings are cooled and dehumidified, is popular in areas that are hot and humid year-round, but is also gaining popularity in other locations.
A central air conditioning system is designed to cool indoor living spaces during hot weather, and to improve indoor air quality by filtering and dehumidifying the air.
Central air conditioning is generally quieter than individual room air conditioners which radiate their compressor noise closer to the living areas.
