Air Conditioner- Its types, characteristics, and benefits

 The air conditioner is no more a luxury it is rather a necessity, considering the humidity that has increased manifolds in the last few years. Even when one decides to purchase an air conditioner, it is important to understand the various factors, such as electricity consumption, cooling effect and ton capacity (e.g.,1-ton, 1.5-ton or 2-ton ac etc.) Apart from these factors, it is also essential to understand what type of an AC, whether a window or a split AC would be better able to serve the needs. Let us first understand the difference between a split AC and a window AC and how electricity usage and cooling effect invariable depends on the ton capacity of an air conditioner.

 Structure and modification of an air conditioner are the two main characteristics that play a key role in differentiating a window AC from a split AC. Split AC has two different units, which are settled internally and externally while window AC consists of one unit and as the name suggests can only be fitted into and suitable for, small rooms with a window. While both window and split ACs work have a similar process, it is easy to install a split AC because it has two units and can really well for large spaces such as commercial and office places and cools the room within minutes with minimal noise.

The term ton in an air conditioner refers to the unit of refrigeration. Its SI unit is KJ/min, or 3.5 KW. It was coined in order to understand the measurement of the cooling effect with respect to time.

The more the ton capacity, the more electricity bill it is going to generate because of the electricity consumption, but at the same, it would also take less time to cool a particular place such as an office or a conference room.

The place of installation should be taken into consideration while purchasing an Air- conditioner.

While 1 or 1.5 tons can be installed at homes depending upon the financial feasibility, need and the comfort it provides, 2-ton split AC can be extremely beneficial for large spaces like halls, offices and restaurants. Daikin has a wide range of 2-ton split ACs to choose from so that one can enjoy the sheer ease and comfort the 2-ton AC provides.
