A room Air conditioner is a not large enclosed cooling device that is can be put in a window or through a wall for venting and for air exchange . Lately , there has also been an introduction of portable air conditioning units, which are housed in cases that sit on the floor near a window with a tube for venting. These portable units as a rule have casters mounted to the bottom of the case making it possible for them to easily remove from one room to another as needed.

The aim of air conditioning equipment for a room is to cool the air within a small, limited area and they are not intended to be used as a “whole house” air conditioning system. They are most common placed in houses where people are renters; therefore , they are not permanently set up and can be removed and taken to a new location if the occupant moves .

Usually , a room air conditioner will have a control panel mounted somewhere on the front or on top, in order to give the user quite easy access to the controls. In general , there are independent controls for regulating the target room temperature and for controlling the fan speed for circulating the conditioned air around the room .

Most people are not aware that room air conditioning units do not “technically” cool a room. It is more correct to say that room air conditioners remove the heat from the air and then moves it elsewhere to the place where the unit has been vented.

A pressurized refrigerant, R-22, flows through the air conditioner unit when it is turned on. While the unit is on, the condenser will pluck the refrigerant gas into the air conditioning system and then pressurize it, which makes the temperature higher . This heated, high-pressure gas moves next to the condenser coils, which are situated on the outdoor portion of the unit where the fans distribute the heat that has gathered .

The cooled gas then becomes condensed into a liquid, which moves to the inner of the room air conditioner to the evaporator coils. The fan then moves the air throughout the unit. The thermostat direct the cycling of this process to support the desired temperature in the room.

Certain room air conditioners have mechanical controls, such as knobs and push buttons. The newer air conditioning units are controlled with Electronics touch-pads that tend to give more functionality and are able to regulate the mode the units operate in, the temperature set point, a timer for automatic shut off and powering on, and different other conveniences, most of which are designed to make the unit as energy efficient as possible.
