Air Conditioning Threshold

interesting thing about 28C, is 82F..

 

I was just thinking this. My coconut oil was totally liquid yesterday and today it's solid again .

 

But somebody wrote tthis great proof of the relativistic correction. It seems like it's air conditioning in my motel room, but the measured temperature rises for just the encouraged switching off. I think the switching is Absolute.

 

And -51C is -51F, or there abouts. So how's that work?

 

they meet at -40c/-40f .. I havent a clue why.

 

Oh well, that isn't where the frost point becomes higher than the dew point.

 

to get back to the original question. it was 82F earlier, I didnt have the AC on because it was dry, cool and comfortable. Then come the rain and its now 69F outside, the RH is 85% so the AC is on..

 

I think people really overuse air conditioners...and heaters actually. People seem to turn on their heaters in the winter so that it is like 80 degrees in the house... then when it gets warm outside they set their air conditioners to 60 degrees... it makes no fucking sense!!!

 

my car A/C doesn't really work, but that is the one situation where i wouldn't mind it; when i'm driving on a hot day and it's raining so i can't put the windows down, it can get sweltering in there.

 

Even AC in the car is a luxury here you rarely really need. It is just handy and I used it because it was there. Otherwise I'd turned a window down and it would do the trick ok (except for the wind when I'm speeding of course )

Damn, I also rather have it closer to 18C than 28C here but I don't have to do anything for that happily!

 

Without taking the temperature difference off the cooling coil/furnace and doing some math the reading on a thermostats are useless if not calibrated and corrected to the size of the home/space.

Meaning, the thermostats are an incorrect way to determine if the machines are running efficiently. And the reason people turn them up to the high and low ends. Because they also dont know how to operate their furnace and air conditioner systems. Its like the heart of your house those things are.
Anyways..
Its like putting your hand in front the AC/Heater and feeling cold/heat. This is an incorrect way of determining whether the machine is working properly or poorly.

If your HVACR technician does this when servicing, and you see no gauges, no meters, no psychrometric charts. They are doing it wrong..


Of course you probably wont see this, because most furnace ac repair persons dont give care if your machine is running properly. Only that its throwing heat or cold..

If you're hot, turn on cold. If you're cold, turn on hot. You are an acting thermostat. Basically how most technicians will think.

 

One thing I really hate is riding in somebody else's car when they turn up the heat too high in winter. You get all sweaty just before you have to go out in the cold again. It's miserable, and it's a great way to catch a cold. If you're dressed properly for winter, you don't need a lot of heat in the car.

 

Yep. Recognizable... I hate that and always make a problem of it :sunny:

 

I agree, tis why I rarely go with other people in their cars.

I want to kind of argue the catch a cold thing tho. The thinking now is you don't catch a cold by temp or temp changes on the body. You get hypothermia from being out too long in the cold but to catch a cold, against all earlier beliefs you must have the virus touch you, be it on a shopping cart someone with a cold used before you or even a sneeze in the wind. Read a magazine in the doctors office or even touch the arm rests on the chairs and you are sure to catch something if you don't disinfect your hands before touching things like your face or a snack you are going to eat. If the cold virus gets in your nose, eyes or mouth you pretty much have it unless your immunity is running well and you get to slip by lucky.
Temp changes are definitely not nice tho, you end up coming into a sweat and you do feel colder once out of that temperature because moisture makes cold feel colder much like moist air makes us feel cold like here yesterday and this morning while it rained the whole time and felt damn chilly. Almost fired up my furnace.

 

I don't know. I just know this sucks right now. Without AC I get super hot. Turn AC on and I'm freaking freezing. Turn it off and repeat. Annoying as hell.

 

It can get complicated. Subjecting your body to extreme conditions can irritate your sinuses and get mucus drainage going down the back of your throat, which soon gets your thoat's lining inflamed and raw. After that, if somebody coughs or sneezes near you and gets their germs airborne, if you inhale one into your throat, it can instantly enter your bloodstream. On a typical winter day, somebody is always coughing or sneezing. A similar thing can happen inside your sinus cavities.

What you said about picking up germs from surfaces is true also.

 

My Dad stopped driving November 2012 when I became his driver. It is hard on me keeping the car as warm as he needs it in the winter. I always end up overheated or will underdress and then be too cold when I get out of the car.

I don't seem to get colds which is good.

Also he is not supposed to go out if it is below 20F degrees, so this past winter I did more shopping for him and bringing things to him instead of him going out.

 

i don't trust my equipment to anything above 78, but it can shut off before it gets below 75.

when it gets below 68 i can always put on a jacket, but when it gets above 80, i can't take off any more then my skin.

 

:leaving:

 

The section of the house I'm living at right now gets hit by the sun all day and it's always about 15-20 degrees hotter inside then outside. It gets so hot that chocolate bars melt and my computers over heat to the point I can't get any work done. So bought AC wall unit and turn it on whenever it gets about 80 degrees outside. Best investment I ever made.
