2. Compressor - Wikipedia

   [1] [21] [22] Their application can be from 100 horsepower (75 kW) to thousands of horsepower. With multiple staging, they can achieve high output pressures greater than 1,000 psi (6.9 MPa). This type of compressor, along with screw compressors, are extensively used in large refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

3. Evaporative cooler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

   Less expensive to install and operate. Estimated cost for professional installation is about half or less that of central refrigerated air conditioning. [34] Estimated cost of operation is 1/8 that of refrigerated air conditioning. [35] No power spike when turned on due to lack of a compressor.

4. Seasonal energy efficiency ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_energy_efficiency...

   Air-conditioner sizes are often given as "tons" of cooling, where 1 ton of cooling equals 12,000 BTU/h (3.5 kW). 1 ton of cooling equals the amount of power that needs to be applied continuously over a 24-hour period to melt 1 ton of ice. The annual cost of electric energy consumed by an air conditioner may be calculated as follows:

5. Air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

   An air conditioner designed for an occupied space will typically achieve a 30% to 60% relative humidity in the occupied space. [51] Most modern air-conditioning systems feature a dehumidification cycle during which the compressor runs. At the same time, the fan is slowed to reduce the evaporator temperature and condense more water.

6. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

   Central, "all-air" air-conditioning systems (or package systems) with a combined outdoor condenser/evaporator unit are often installed in North American residences, offices, and public buildings, but are difficult to retrofit (install in a building that was not designed to receive it) because of the bulky air ducts required. [32] (Minisplit ...

7. British thermal unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_thermal_unit

   Btu per hour (Btu/h) is sometimes used in North America and the United Kingdom - the latter for air conditioning mainly, though "Btu/h" is sometimes abbreviated to just "Btu". [18] MBH—thousands of Btu per hour—is also common. [19] 1 W is approximately 3.412142 Btu/h [20] 1,000 Btu/h is approximately 0.2931 kW; 1 hp is approximately 2,544 Btu/h
