Indoor
Air Quality - Air Purification
Prevents:
Mold - Bacteria - Viruses - Mildew - Odors - Algae
- Slime
Air PurificationAir Purification
is the newest tool to be used to improve indoor air
quality. Similar to the lights that barbers, dentists,
and doctors use to sterilize their instruments, these
lights are designed to not only kill what's growing
in the drain pan, but also what is growing on the
coil surface or on the interior insulation. These
lights will kill the source of numerous allergens
that people did not know existed. The light shines
on the inside of the A/C, in front of the coil, 24
hours a day. The Air Purification combined with a
good filter system will greatly improve the quality
of air in either a home or business.

Understanding Air Conditioners
Many people buy or use air conditioners without understanding
their designs, components, and operating principles.
Proper sizing, selection, installation, maintenance,
and correct use are keys to cost-effective operation
and lower overall costs.How Air Conditioners WorkAir
conditioners employ the same operating principles
and basic components as your home refrigerator. An
air conditioner cools your home with a cold indoor
coil called the evaporator. The condenser a hot outdoor
coil, releases the collected heat outside. The evaporator
and condenser coils are serpentine tubing surrounded
by aluminum fins. This tubing is usually made of copper.
A pump, called the compressor, moves a heat transfer
fluid (or refrigerant) between the evaporator and
the condenser. The pump forces the refrigerant through
the circuit of tubing and fins in the coils. The liquid
refrigerant evaporates in the indoor evaporator coil,
pulling heat out of indoor air and thereby cooling
the home. The hot refrigerant gas is pumped outdoors
into the condenser where it reverts back to a liquid
giving up its heat to the air flowing over the condenser's
metal tubing and fins.Most central air conditioning
units operate by means of a split system. That is,
they consist of a "hot" side, or the condensing unit
including the condensing coil, the compressor and
the fan which is situated outside your home, and a
"cold" side that is located inside your home. The
cold side consists of an expansion valve and a cold
coil, and it is usually part of your air handler.
The air handler blows air through an evaporator coil,
which cools the air. Then this cool air is routed
throughout your home by means of a series of air ducts.
Basic Operations
Air conditioning includes both the cooling and heating
of air. It also cleans the air and controls the moisture
level. An air conditioner is able to cool a building
because it removes heat from indoor and transfers
it outdoors. A chemical refrigerant in the system
absorbs the unwanted heat and pumps it through a system
of piping to the outside coil. The fan, located in
the outside unit, blows outside air over the hot coil,
transferring heat from the refrigerant to the outdoor
air.The compressor is the "heart" of the system. The
compressor acts as the pump, the refrigerant flows
through the system. It draws in a low-pressure, low-temperature,
refrigerant in a gaseous state and by compressing
this gas, raise the pressure and temperature of the
refrigerant. This high-pressure, high temperature
gas then flows to the condenser coil.The condenser
coil is a series of piping with a fan that draws outside
air across the coil. As the refrigerant passes through
the condenser coil and the cooler outside air passes
across the coil, the air absorbs heat from the refrigerant
which causes the refrigerant to condense from a gas
to a liquid state. The high pressure, high-temperature
liquid then reaches the expansion valve.The expansion
valve is the "brain" of the system. By sensing the
temperature of the evaporator, or cooling coil, it
allows liquid to pass through a very small orifice,
which causes the refrigerant to expand to a low-pressure,
low-temperature gas. This "cold" refrigerant flows
to the evaporator.The evaporator coil is a series
of piping connected to a air handler that blows indoor
air across it, causing the coil to absorb heat from
the air. The cooled air is then delivered to the house
through ducting. The refrigerant then flows back to
the compressor where the cycle starts over again.Heating
and cooling your home uses more energy and drains
more energy dollars than any other system in your
home. No matter what kind of heating, ventilation,
and air conditioning system you have in your house,
you can save money and increase comfort by properly
maintaining and upgrading your equipment. By combining
proper equipment maintenance and upgrades with appropriate
insulation, weatherization and thermostat settings,
you can cut your energy bills and your pollution output
in half.
Saving money on your energy
bills will depend on four major factors:
-
Energy efficiency
of your system
-
Managing
system operation
-
Simple system
maintenance
-
Save Money
One of the easiest ways to
save money on your energy bills is to buy a high efficiency
heating and cooling system. Keep in mind that: Even
the lowest efficiency systems currently allowed by
the U.S. Government will almost always cost less to
operate than a system that was installed ten years
ago. Most manufacturers offer higher efficiency models
which will add to your savings on monthly utility
bills. Typically, higher efficiency systems will cost
more initially, so it's important to look for the
right balance between cost and long-term savings.
Managing System Operation
No matter how efficient your system is, managing the
operating system can affect your heating and cooling
costs. Naturally, you want to feel comfortable when
you're home. But do you really need all that comfort
when you're not home? Do you need all of that comfort
while everybody's in bed, sleeping? By remembering
to "set back" the temperature on your system's thermostat
during times when you don't really need as much comfort,
you can save significantly on your monthly utility
bill.Programmable zoning systems can provide even
greater efficiency and comfort by dividing the home
into comfort "zones" and providing differing temperatures
for each zone.Simple System MaintenanceOne of the
keys to energy savings is keeping your system operations
at its best.
Two simple ways you can help
maintain your system are:
-
change fan
coil filter frequently
-
clean indoor
and outdoor coils
Age and Condition of Your
Home
For a variety of reasons, newer homes are more energy
efficient than older ones. They are built to keep
conditioned air inside so you are not paying to heat
and cool air that easily finds its way out of your
home. As a home gets older, settling will cause some
of that airtight construction to loosen up. Regardless
of your home's age, you can do some simple maintenance
to make sure that will help keep the conditioned air
inside, where it belongs.
-
Be sure your
home is adequately insulated. Adding insulation
to attic areas is usually pretty easy. Other areas,
such as outside walls, provide a more challenging
project if extra insulation is needed.
-
Check the
seals around windows, doors, electrical outlets
or any other potential sources for escaping air.
Seal these areas using a good quality caulk, and
be sure to re examine your handiwork every few years.
-
Inside your
home, weather stripping around moving parts of windows
and doors can help seal off potential areas of leakage
or drafts.
-
Storm doors
and windows can provide additional energy savings
by preventing air loss and by creating an insulating
layer of air.
