Although standard air conditioners are very popular, they can use a lot of energy and generate quite a bit of heat. For large installations like office buildings, air handling and conditioning is sometimes managed a little differently. Some systems use water as part of the cooling process. The two most well-known are chilled water systems and cooling tower air conditioners. Chilled water systems -Cooling tower technology - Because of rising electrical costs and environmental concerns, some other air cooling methods are being explored, too. One is off-peak or ice-cooling technology. An off-peak cooling system uses ice frozen during the evening hours to chill interior air during the hottest part of the day. Although the system does use energy, the largest energy drain is when community demand for power is at its lowest. Energy is less expensive during off-peak hours, and the lowered consumption during peak times eases the demand on the power grid. Another option is geo-thermal heating.

It varies, but at around 6 feet (1.8 meters) underground, the earth's temperature ranges from 45 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit (7.2 to 23.8 degrees Celsius). The basic idea behind geo-thermal cooling is to use this constant temperature as a heat or cold source instead of using electricity to generate heat or cold. The most common type of geo-thermal unit for the home is a closed-loop system. Polyethylene pipes filled with a liquid mixture are buried underground. During the winter, the fluid collects heat from the earth and carries it through the system and into the building. During the summer, the system reverses itself to cool the building by pulling heat through the pipes to deposit it underground [source: Geo Heating]. For real energy efficiency, solar powered air conditioners are also making their debut. There may still be some kinks to work out, but around 5 percent of all electricity consumed in the U.S. is used to power air conditioning of one type or another, so there's a big market for energy-friendly air conditioning options [source: ACEEE].

Step 1: The Original DesignShow All ItemsUpdated If the insulation is missing or has been torn or split, it can cause dripping.The best thing is that you don’t need a professional to handle to this problem. You can fix it all by yourself. Here is it :First cover your air conditioner with a plastic bag hanging down and also have space to collect water. Picture it as a sack hanging.Now take the drain tube and blow air into it from your mouth. This results in flowing of all the unclean water into the plastic bag you had placed.Then grab the drain tube and lift it upwards. Attach the vacuum cleaner to the drain tube leaving no gap between them. It will absorb the dirt accumulated in the drain tube. Drain off the dirty water from the drain tube.Next use the vacuum pump for the final drain of the dirty water.You can also approach Quotemykaam at 09899763411 or book online for AC repair in your city:AC Repair in DelhiAC Repair in GurgaonAC Repair in NoidaAC Repair in FaridabadAC Repair in GhaziabadYou can also book for our other services - AC servicing, AC insatllation,AC gas refilling, AC repair, AC un-installation, AC on Rent in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, GhaziabadWritten All air conditioners produce water

, as the result of moisture condensing from warm air, as it is cooled. best ac unit on the marketIf the split unit is dripping, it needs cleaning, more than likely.ac unit will not power onIf you live in a place that is REALLY hot and REALLY humid, your ac may be condensing more water than usual. how much is ac unitIt should be draining thru a tube to the outside, rather than inside.The condensation drain tube is probably plugged up with dust bunnies and mold. It is likely that all it needs is cleaning.If the unit is producing only a moderate amount of moisture, it will probably evaporate “inside” the “outdoor’’ part of the unit, since newer air conditioners are made to work this way.This saves on electricity by cooling the condenser more efficiently.

If the drain tube is plugged up, the condensed water has nowhere to go, and and drips out inside your house.Written Thanks for your A2AThere is water vapor in the air which we refer to as Humidity. The amount of water vapor held in the air is dependent on temperature.More water vapor can be held at higher temperature. As temperatures start falling the amount of water vapor that can be held bu the air falls. At a low temperature called dew point, the water vapor will start forming water droplets on surfaces lower than that temperature.The water is produced in the internal unit because the evaporator coils are at very low temperature usually around 4–5 degree Celsius. The temperature of the coil surfaces is much lower than dew point and when air is blown on evaporator coils, the air cools down and the water starts to condense on the evaporator coils.This water is then drained out through the drain pipe, which in a split ac is ducted out along with the power wires and the copper tubing.Thus if the drainage system is faulty or blocked, water collects in the inner unit and starts flowing and leaking out from the inner unit.

Please get the issue checked by a qualified technicianEnjoy life...Written Water comes from all air conditioners as we know air contains water particles in form of vapours (Science -IV class) . These vapours releases heat when AC funtions and the heat is converted into liquid water.You must have observed when you take out a chilled bottle from fridge and keep it aside, very soon water droplets are formed from the side of the bottle. Similarly,when moisture in air increases and it comes in contact with AC , water comes out.Don’t worry , its a natural process, but if it comes out constantly then it needs to be repaired. Your air conditioner does two jobs: It cools down the air and it dehumidifies the air. If you live in a dry climate, you want the AC to dehumidify as little as possible because it uses extra energy and makes you spend more on lip balm and hand lotion. If you live in a humid climate, you really want it to do that second job as well as it can to keep your indoor air dry and comfortable.

But where does all that condensate go? In most homes, it goes outdoors through a pipe, like the one above. Sometimes there's a little pump that pumps it out, but most often it drains by gravity alone. Occasionally that condensate line gets clogged. This happened at my condo last week. (We live in Atlanta, Georgia, a mixed-humid climate.) Gunk in the pipe built up to the point where it was barely draining. We could run the AC for a little while and then we'd have to turn it off again. This past weekend I tackled the problem. One of the best ways to do so is with good old air pressure. If you can close off all escape routes except the one in the direction of the clog, you can shoot positive pressure into the pipe near where the indoor unit is located. That should blow the clog out the other end. In our case, that wasn't an option because our condensate line is connected to our upstairs neighbor's air conditioner, too. So I got out my little wet-dry shop vac and set it up to suck the gunk out at the end of the pipe.

The photo below shows the setup. I was hoping to avoid a trip to the hardware store, so I used red duct tape to try to make an airtight connection between the shop vac hose and the condensate line. I took the shop vac hose with me to the store and bought some fittings in the plumbing department. I hooked it all up (photo above) and got a nice, airtight connection this time. With the taped connection, I got maybe half a cup of water out of the pipe. With the airtight connection, I got the bucket full of crud you see below. If you really want to see how bad it was, watch the short video below and you can see my wife pouring it out. Yes, all that gunk was in our condensate line. One problem with condensate lines is that algae can grow in them. In our case, there's also a lot of sediment in that bucket, possibly from a corroded evaporator coil. We replaced our AC in 2009 and the condensate line hasn't been cleaned since then, so some of that crud could have been from our old unit.
