The
important idea, though, is that solar energy solar water heater dealers in chennai can be used to provide a portion of this
temperature increase, reducing the compressor’s workload and allowing the
compressor to consume less electricity.
The
idea that a very hot solar collector solar water heater dealers in chennai can help an air
conditioner cool more efficiently can be confusing. In order to understand how
solar air conditioning can save so much energy, it helps to first have a basic
understanding of how conventional air conditioners work.
How solar energy helps
We
can send the refrigerant through a solar energy collector before the fluid
reaches the compressor, and solar energy solar
water heater dealers in chennai can do a portion of the work—heating up the refrigerant—that
would normally be accomplished by the compressor. This allows the compressor to
run less, or to operate at a lower speed, and thus use less electrical energy.

this process.
Dumping the heat
outdoors
The
very hot refrigerant gas leaving the compressor flows into another coil called
the condenser coil. This coil looks and behaves very much like a car radiator,
radiating heat from the hot refrigerant into the outside air as a fan pulls
outside air across the coil. The condenser solar
water heater dealers in chennai coil
gets its name from the fact that the refrigerant gas condenses back into a
liquid as it gives up heat to the outside air. You can easily verify that heat
is solar water heater dealers in chennai
being dumped into the outside air by placing
your hand into the exhaust air flow of the condenser fan. This exhaust air
should be hotter than the surrounding air—even on a 95°F summer day.
Completing the cycle
The
refrigerant cools as it moves through the condenser coil, down to perhaps 85–110°F.
We employ another physics trick to get the refrigerant back into the 20–40°F
range necessary for cooling. Just as compressing the refrigerant increases its
temperature, solar water heater dealers
in chennai allowing the refrigerant to expand will cause
its temperature to fall. This is accomplished by forcing the refrigerant
through a tiny opening—aptly named an expansion valve—that allows the fluid’s
pressure and temperature to fall substantially as it emerges solar
water heater dealers in chennai from
the tiny passage.
With
the refrigerant cooled back down to 20–40°F, the cycle repeats.
Air conditioners also
control humidity.
Humidity
is water vapor in the air. Humidity makes people uncomfortable because as the
moisture content of air increases, it becomes increasingly difficult for
sweat—the body’s built-in cooling solar
water heater dealers in chennai mechanism—to evaporate from the skin. The
clammy or sticky feeling you experience during hot, humid weather is caused by
sweat on your skin that cannot evaporate.
Central
air conditioning systems dehumidify indoor air by the same principle that
causes moisture to form on the surface of a glass of iced tea on a hot summer
day. As air in solar water heater
dealers in chennai contact with the glass cools, the air falls
below the minimum temperature necessary to hold water as a vapor. As a result,
water vapor in the air condenses on the glass surface.
Similarly,
warmer house air cools as it passes over the very cold evaporator coil in the
air handler, solar water heater
dealers in chennai losing
the ability to hold water as a vapor. As a result, water vapor in the air
condenses on the outer surfaces of the evaporator coil.
