Air Conditioner: The greatest use of air conditioners is during humid, hot weather. You can adjust the temperature of the air conditioner to suit your needs and escape the heat. Nevertheless, every air conditioner has a lowest temperature setting of only 16 degrees, whether you realise that or not. At temperatures below this, no air conditioner available in India can be operated. As we will discuss with you today, there is a very good reason why AC businesses take this action.
Why is 16 degrees the lowest temperature
As you may know, the air conditioner has an evaporator that uses coolant to stay cool. Cool air is released from the air conditioner only after the evaporator has reached a certain temperature. The evaporator will suffer total damage from ice freezing on it if the air conditioner is set below 16 degrees.
Actually, the reason ice forms on the evaporator is because the refrigerant exiting it has very little pressure. This means that if the evaporator is run at a low temperature, ice will build on it and cause damage. If the manufacturers of air conditioners had their way, they could have been used in temperatures lower than sixteen, but doing so would have only been harmful to the customers.
