Ventilative cooling vs. air conditioning to reduce room temperatures 🌡️ It is hard to imagine a hot summer day without turning on the air conditioner. But did you know that opening windows can give up to 12 times more airflow than mechanical ventilation? 🌬️ Opening windows increases air motion, especially with cross-ventilation or the stack effect. Even if outdoor temperatures are slightly higher, the increased airflow can make indoor temperatures feel cooler, by the cooling sensation on the skin. ◾Cross-ventilation occurs when you open windows across from each other in the same room or building, allowing air to flow through. ◾ The stack effect can be even more efficient when you open a lower façade window and a higher-placed roof window. The height difference creates a stronger upward airflow, referred to as the stack effect. As global temperatures rise, air conditioner sales are expected to double over the next 20 years, resulting in even more demand for electricity to cool our homes and buildings. To reduce energy use and help break this vicious cycle, why not utilize ventilative cooling instead?

【Single pipe ERV is designed to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week】 The traditional ventilation by opening window is not proper especially pollen from blooms, dust, fur can be easily coming indoors. Filters inside energy recovery ventilator can prevent harmful particles from fresh air. Spring / Autumn: During transited season, outdoor temperature is comfortable, people don't switch on the air conditioner, they prefer to use outdoor air to cool indoor air directly. In this case, we can switch single pipe ERV at supply mode. It keeps supplying fresh air, what's more, the primary filter and F7 filter inside the unit can prevent the harmful particles from fresh air, the filtration efficiency is 96%, so you can enjoy a lot the clean fresh air. Summer/Winter: People will switch on air conditioner to get cooling in summer or heating in winter by closing the doors and window. In this case, CO2 will increase in a short time. If anyone is sick, other people will take high risk of getting infected easily. The single pipe ERV can work at supply and exhaust mode alternatively, 75 seconds exhaust bad air out and 75 seconds supply clean fresh air, repeat all the time. There is ceramic heat exchanger which can absorb the cooling at exhaust status and transfer cooling to fresh air to make it cooler. So when outdoor is 40 degree, indoor is 25 degree, the fresh air through singe pipe ERV can be about 30℃, which is helpful to reduce the energy consumption of air conditioner. We care about the indoor humidity level too. There are one temperature sensor and one humidity sensor inside the ERV, we can set on App by smart phone, when indoor is higher than 75% humidity, the ERV can work at exhaust mode to extract out the high humidity air. It's helpful to prevent mold growth. If you are looking for a solution to improve indoor air quality with reliable ventilation unit, it’s time to talk to me. I can help recommend the right HVAC system for you, for more details, welcome to message me to [email protected] Best regards, Rubby Skype: rubby_liu1989 Mob: 0086-18719133051 [email protected]

🌞☀️ Getting Ready for a Cool Summer! ☀️🌞 As temperatures rise and summer approaches, it's time to ensure your air conditioner is primed for optimal performance! At Hendrickson HVAC, we believe in empowering our community to take proactive steps in maintaining their cooling systems. Here are some DIY tips to get your AC ready for the season: 1️⃣ Clear Those Bushes: Take a stroll outside and inspect the area around your outdoor unit. Ensure bushes, shrubs, and any debris are cleared away. Proper airflow around the condenser is crucial for efficient cooling. 2️⃣ Condenser Coil Check-Up: Over time, dirt and debris can accumulate on the condenser coil, hindering its ability to dissipate heat. Give it a thorough inspection and clean if necessary. A simple rinse with a garden hose can do wonders! 3️⃣ Flush Condensate Lines: Condensate lines can sometimes get clogged with algae and debris, leading to potential water damage or even mold growth. Take a moment to flush out these lines to ensure proper drainage. 4️⃣ Don't Forget the Filter!: Perhaps the most crucial step in AC maintenance is ensuring you have a clean filter. A dirty filter restricts airflow, making your system work harder and less efficiently. Replace or clean your filter regularly to keep your AC running smoothly. By incorporating these DIY tasks into your summer preparations, you'll not only ensure a comfortable indoor environment but also extend the lifespan of your air conditioning system. Remember, a little maintenance goes a long way in keeping your home cool and energy-efficient! Stay cool, stay comfortable! 🔧❄️ #SummerPrep #HVACMaintenance #StayCool

🌀❄️ Keeping It Cool: How HVAC Systems Work in Summer 🏠☀️ Ever wondered how your HVAC system keeps you cool during those scorching summer days? Let's break it down: Absorbing Indoor Heat: The process kicks off with the refrigerant absorbing indoor heat as it passes through the evaporator coil. This exchange cools the air inside your home, providing sweet relief from the heat outside. Refrigerant's Journey: After absorbing heat, the refrigerant travels to the outdoor unit. Here, the compressor kicks into action, increasing the refrigerant's pressure. This boost supercharges its ability to release heat. Expelling Heat: The refrigerant, now under high pressure, releases heat to the outside air through the condenser coil. As it sheds heat, the refrigerant cools down and returns to its liquid state, ready to start the cycle anew. With each cycle, your HVAC system keeps your indoor environment refreshingly cool, allowing you to beat the summer heat with ease. For expert maintenance and repairs to keep your system running smoothly, trust Airstrike HVAC. Stay cool and comfortable all summer long! ❄️🔧 #HVACCooling #SummerComfort #StayCool

Let's go! Turn on the air conditioner at 27 degrees Celsius together with the fan on. **There is a study by Japanese researchers that found that using an air conditioner set at 27 degrees Celsius (80.6 degrees Fahrenheit) together with a fan will make the room feel cooler than using an air conditioner set at 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) alone. Additionally, it is also more energy-efficient.** **Here is a more detailed explanation of the study:** * The study found that the combination of an air conditioner set at 27 degrees Celsius and a fan increased air circulation in the room, which helped to distribute the cool air more evenly. * This increased air circulation also helped to cool the occupants of the room more effectively, even though the air conditioner was set at a slightly higher temperature. * As a result, the combination of an air conditioner and a fan used less energy than using an air conditioner alone to achieve the same level of comfort. **Here are some additional benefits of using an air conditioner and a fan together:** * It can help to reduce humidity in the room, which can make the air feel more comfortable. * It can help to reduce noise levels, as the fan can help to circulate the air more quietly than the air conditioner alone. * It can help to extend the lifespan of the air conditioner, as it will not have to work as hard to cool the room. **Overall, using an air conditioner and a fan together is a more efficient and comfortable way to cool your home.** I hope this is helpful!
