Tips Knowing PK AC and Power Supplies Cooling (BTU / hr)

One of the things that is often the question when we decided to use the air conditioner is how to determine the PK room air conditioner that suits us? It deserves attention because of its association with the amount of power consumption we have to pay each month. Unit air conditioner that is too large compared to the area of ​​the room will make use of electricity to be wasteful, as well as unit air conditioner that is too small. Unit air conditioner that is too small compared to the area of ​​the room will take a long time to cool the room, it would also be great to make the electric bill. There are 3 factors to consider when determining the need for air conditioning PK, the AC cooling power (BTU / hr - British Thermal Units per hour), power (watts), and PK AC compressor. Most of us are probably more familiar figures PK (Paard Kracht / Horsepower / Horse Power (HP)) on the AC. PK Actually it is the power unit on the AC compressor cooling power instead of AC. But PK is better known than the BTU / hr in the general public. Then how to calculate and adjust the cooling power with your room air conditioner? To work around this, we first conversion PK - BTU / hr - the area (m2). 1 PK = 9000-10000 BTU / h 1 m2 = 600 BTU / hr 3 mx = 10 feet -> 1 m = 3.33 ft Cooling Power AC based PK AC:

BTU/hr	PK
±5.000 ± 7.000 ± 9.000 ±12.000 ±18.000	½ ¾ 1 1½ 2

To calculate BTU requirement to use the formula: (W x H x L x I x E) / 60 = BTU requirement W = length of the room (in feet) Space H = height (in feet) I = value of 10 if space is insulated (located on the bottom floor, or coincide with other space). Value of 18 if space is not insulated (upstairs). L = width of the room (in feet) E = the value 16 if the longest wall facing north; value of 17 if facing east; value of 18 if facing south; and a value of 20 if facing west. example: 3mx6m sized or space (10 feet x 20 feet), height of the room 3m (10 feet) is not insulated, the long wall facing east. Needs BTU = (10 x 20 x 18 x 10 x 17) / 60 = 10,200 BTU quite alias with AC 1 PK. Air conditioner in order to provide maximum results in providing fresh air following a few tips that can be done: Adjust the size of the room with the air conditioner capacity. Do not be put right at the front door, because the air will be easier to get out into another room. Do not place the air conditioner is too close to the roof. Air conditioner draws air from the top, then when it gets too close to the ceiling, narrow space causes the incoming air is not maximal. Wash your air conditioner filter once a month 1. Do laundering AC evaporator 3 months.
