why air con minimm is 16-18 degree

i also agree wif you on what your wrote. its more of human comfort and studies been made on that to provide what's good, healthy at an acceptance level for t...

blowfish SG

Why?

ditzy SG

Coz its air con, not refrigeration unit. Laughing

dork3d SG

It’s air-conditioning unit, not freezer unit or cyro unit… 16 degrees Celsius is a comfortable low end of the temperature range…

DrTech SG

And i believe the mechanisms in the air con is not powerful enough to drive the temperature lower

FireIce SG

me always tiao 24, 25 deg

cool is enuf, no need to be cold......

im not frozen pork

tiggersgd SG

well, u can always freeze ur fats? 38D...

CoolMyth SG

Cool enough.

No need to be cold. Laughing

dork3d SG

Wah! You also know she's 38D arh? Mr. Green

Xcert SG

tell me what are U going to do with 38D of frozen fats?throw at people? Laughing Mr. Green

GHoST_18 SG

please stick to topic...

Laughing

Xcert SG

ouch... Laughing Mr. Green

i remember last time study one of the subjects in ITE and also my EO diploma on air-conditioning and refreigeration the enthalpy chart curve is standard one and the lowest comfort temperature answer for room air conditioning versus throw seldom goes below 16 degrees celcius 1. for tropical regions it will require more power to bring the temperature down to and maintained at 16 and below for a desired level of human comfort. there must be a standard lah and i guess it has been established long long time ago. lower temp too dry cool air not good for human skins and complexion u know...later auntie fireice 38D arsenal dry up how?

Use 38D to press the ban button

lasboriquas SG

i dun mind being thrown and squashed on my face

It can be much lower than 16 if you don't mind waking up encrusted in ice-crystals like supermarket freezer displays.

SBS9828X SG

and its only the air coming out is 16 degrees… the rest of the room can be 22 degrees

ölala SG

na bei my company space quite small and i got 2 ceiling air con blowing 17 deg always diretly above me

wth...

back to topic,i think its health reason
say how much u wanna lower the room temperature to?
15?10?
at this kinda temperature ur body will start to react negatively and start to produce excess heat to warm the body

its oso dangerous because sleeping at 15 deg and below makes ur body lose alot of heat and u might die while sleeping
pulse rate starts to drop and its really not a good thing

i can agree more with you. in a few words your explanation is more comprehensive than mine. i haven't time to look for my ITE/Ploy notes on Enthalpy but here's a link for all to read...something more on enthalpy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy

question on enthalpy's always based on a type of refrigerant, with its associated curve pattern. some parameters are always given (e.g desired room temp, wet/ dry bulb tem, pressure etc) and there's always some calculations involved and graph plotted and answers estimated from the Enthalpy chart itself.
