Untimely airconditioning thread

Nice to know.

It does mention 4.1A @ 220V, so it looks like a very similar heat-pump efficiency.

What a strange little person you are. I suppose Jack the Ripper was a Victorian Aircon engineer then?

Personally I reckon the hot air you generate with your strange pontifications is a far larger contributer to global warming than almost any other single factor.

They certainly do

I don't want to be cool, I want to be comfortable.

You thought that was hot ?

Give it a few years and you might not have much choice

Isn't that your doctor's advice - please take it

Nah, thats the chemicals leaching out of the plastic pipes they use over there.

Oh.... sorry, wrong thread.

Darren - scared to go into his airconditioned machine room incase of serial killers...

Talk about ROFLO.....

You make a village idiot sound like Albert Einstein ! :~(

Thank you.

Hear, hear and s/cool/cold/

Quite. It doesn't get unbearably hot until the low 40'sC. Last time I was in "hot" it was 43C in Elat, 6l of water/day and I was only just keeping up my normal urine rate. That was dry heat so you didn't drip. Thailand and Malaysia where humid but only in the 30'sC so not a serious problem. Bit of shock coming from Beijing at sub zero temps to Bangkok at 30C though...

Singapore to English winter - landing with a thin silk shirt on - brrr

I find it hard to believe what a nation of wimps we're turning into.

I am not little.

The Americans had a/c long before us using ice, hence a/c units are rated in tons, which comes from tons of ice used. Jack the Ripper was American and would be have been exposed to a/c. The a/c is the connection. I'm afraid we have potential serial killers on this ng. They should be stopped from doing what they are doing before it is too late.

Maxie, that is encouraging! You should have wisdom in eyeshot.

I think one sacrifice would be perfectly adequate

Errrm - I think you will find that flatulence gas is mostly methane - that's a greenhouse gas certainly - but not ozone depleting...

If you are going to spout nonsense you could at least try to get some basis in scientific fact.

True - I didn't notice that info. Of course these figures have to depend on outside air temp and more data on that would be nice. It seems almost too good to be true that you can fit an air con unit for £500 and not only get cooling in summer but relatively cheap heat in winter - not a main heat source but it reduces the cost of heating using electricity by more than half. mikej

I dout it. I have been at similar lattitudes on other continents and they are f*ck-all use there.

That's right. Under 21 degrees.

It was hot. I had the numbers to prove it.
