Air conditioning is the cooling and dehumidification of indoor air for thermal comfort. In a broader sense, the term can refer to any form of cooling, heating, ventilation, or disinfection that modifies the condition of air. An air conditioner (often referred to as AC or air con.) is an appliance, system, or mechanism designed to stabilise the air temperature and humidity within an area (used for cooling as well as heating depending on the air properties at a given time), typically using a refrigeration cycle but sometimes using evaporation, commonly for comfort cooling in buildings and motor vehicles.

The concept of air conditioning is known to have been applied in Ancient Rome, where aqueduct water was circulated through the walls of certain houses to cool them. Similar techniques in medieval Persia involved the use of cisterns and wind towers to cool buildings during the hot season. Modern air conditioning emerged from advances in chemistry during the 19th century, and the first large-scale electrical air conditioning was invented and used in 1902 by Willis Haviland Carrier.

Does using the air conditioning in my car increase the amount of fuel used?
Q. Does using the air conditioning in my car increase the amount of fuel used? And also, by how much? for example, if it does increase the amount of fuel used, is it a negliable amount? or is it rather significant?

Why does Dakota air conditioning stop woking after 15 minutes?
Q. My 1998 Dakota air conditioning works great for 15 minutes and then stops. The clutch is not engaged. The pressure and fluid is okay. If I turn it off for 5 minutes it will work for another 15 minutes. Is there some pressure switch that is not working?
Asked by OldBlindGuy - Wed Apr 29 22:27:34 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. that may be caused by a bad relay for the air conditioner,when they heat up sometimes they will cause this too happen,if the system hasn't ever been opened up it wont be dirt in the system causing this too happen,check the relay for it,and the low pressure valve,that to will cause this too happen,good luck.

Where is the air conditioning filter in a 1997 ford mustang and what is the easiest way of getting to it?
Q. The air conditioning in my Mustang will only blow out of the windshield vents and not through the dash vents and I was told it was probably due to the air conditioning filter. What I would like to do is replace the filter but I need to find out where it is and what is the easiest way to access it (example- through the dash or engine, etc.). Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks.

A. Someone is playing with you. there is no airconditioning filter. There is however a cabin fresh air filter but guess what it cant cause the problem. The issue is a vacuum leak either a vacuum line, the mode selector stitch or a vacuum servo all under the dash. The climate control defaults to defrost if vacuum is lost so that you can still defrost the windshield if necessary in the winter. They figure safety is more important than comfort. Check the vacuum actuator system.
