| So my GF and I are debating about wether air conditioning ADD's moisture, or REMOVES moisture from the air it cools. Please tell us the truth about a/c. |

Think about this: Put a cold glass of ice water out. Water condenses on it. That means the cold glass is sucking water out of the air. This is something you can demonstrate to your GF. The AC unit does the same thing. The part that gets really cold 'sweats' just like the glass of cold water. The water runs off and the air is blown out, colder and less humid. Thusly, AC units remove moisture from the air. |
| That is why every A/C unit has to have an adequate drain or condensate pump... to remove the moisture it removes from the air. How could it ADD moisture to the air unless you piped a water supply line into the unit to ADD the moisture into the air stream. De-humidification is the main function of a properly sized A/C unit. It doesn't really begin to reduce air temperature until the majority of the excess humidity has been removed from the occupied space. |
Attention clikclikpull's girlfriend: Don't believe all these guys - they're LYING!! A/C actually adds humidity just like you said, but clikclikpull has gotten all his guy friends to post messages to make you think you're wrong. Don't fall for it!!! You are right this time, just like you're right every time! Remember, you're always right and he's always wrong. And don't ever let him forget that!!! |
