The Repair Of A Damaged Air Conditioner

The Repair Of A Damaged Air Conditioner

Abstract

This project focuses mostly on repairing a broken air conditioner. Its goal is to offer a breakthrough in the repair of any damaged air conditioner and so reduce the significant costs associated with replacing the entire machine.

This article provides an overview of what an air conditioner is, as well as its history and basic operation. This paper also includes a viewpoint on installation methods and maintenance applications. Analyses of the actual repairs performed and their associated economic costs were both provided.

The system was evaluated and determined to be functioning again after repairs and the replacement of certain damaged components, achieving the project’s goal.

Introduction, version one

The air conditioner

An air conditioning system is a collection of different parts that work together in a controlled way to create a particular air quality in a room or building.

A system must heat, humidify, chill, dehumidify, ventilate, filter, and circulate air within the conditioned space in order to generate total air conditioning, all for the user’s comfort.

For rooms of varied sizes, air conditioners come in a wide range of capacities. It has been customary to rank units in tons, although the British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a superior measurement. A smaller air conditioner with a 5500 BTU capacity and a larger one with a 15,000 BTU capacity. Horse power, which measures the power required to drive an electric component rather than cooling capacity, is another rating option. Size of the area to be cooled, building installation, window direction toward sun or shade, heat source inside the room (from a device), and typical occupancy all affect the necessary capacity.

The needed electric voltage typically ranges from 115 to 230 volts.

1.2.2 Historical context

The development of refrigeration gave rise to modern-day air conditioning. Before the first full system was constructed in 1902, the components of an air conditioning system were well known. Ice had been used for cooling for generations, fans and refrigeration had been developed, and central heating had been accomplished with ductwork.

Willis Carrier, a 25-year-old engineer at a heating company in Buffalo, New York, developed the first systematic method to control indoor atmosphere. The issue was that Brooklyn’s stifling summer heat and humidity were resulting in inaccurate reproduction of four-color graphics for a litographic form. The N.Y. Carriers machine combined heating and humidification in the winter with cooling and humidity control in the summer. He circulated the warm, humid air using fans over coils of cold water that were connected to an ammonia refrigerator. He calculated the necessary temperature and air conditioning requirements, as well as the right amount of cold coil surface.

Carriers’ logical psychometric formula, which Stawart Grammer implemented in 1911, provided the information needed to construct the link between moisture content and temperature and allowed engineers to determine the need for an air conditioner. A more efficient heat transfer surface from the warm air to the refrigerating coils was made feasible by the creation of lightweight formed coiling coils. Before the development of the first toxic refrigerant, feron, gaseous refrigerants were thought to be hazardous for small installations. Installation of residential air conditioners and room air conditioners was made possible.
