AC Peoples...

[olds]

I don't remember what this principle is called. Enlighten me.
The outside air temp is 56 degrees Fahrenheit. The AC inside will only go down to 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Why won't the inside temp go lower?
When it's 90 out, it gets down to 62 easily.

EDIT
Super cooling?

 

[ThePresence]

Oh I thought you were paging Atlantic City people.

 

[BurnItDwn]

It's called "whe the fvck sets their Ac below 66" ?


That said, I would set it to like 45, just to make my passengers angry.

It's broke.

Sorry, IDK.

There's 17 computers and 4 driving simulators inside the trailer. We have to keep it cool or the computers heat it up and people start getting "car sick".
We try to keep it around 62.

Did you check for mice in the AC unit?

The very best engineering answer I've heard in a long time.

One of the most difficult things that engineers do is try to explain highly complex technical issues in street language, so the rest of the world can understand. I should use this type of answer at work. That's about as much street language you can fit in one sentence.


Bravo!

they regulate the minimum temp to keep ice from forming.

 

[IronWing]

Open the door?

 

[Lifted]

Easy. Just buy a refrigerator, place it in the back of the truck, and keep the fridge and freezer doors open.

But what that called in AC speak? I seem to remember there is a term for it.

 

[olds]

Open the door?

It gets noisy and there are fumes from the generator.

 

[IronWing]

Seis seis and desist

A: You are using the wrong type of trailer. You need a freezer trailer if you want the bodies to keep long enough for you to dump them without suspicion.

 

[grrl]

I believe super cooling is the term, but we need someone like Seamoose to confirm it.

 

[Kadarin]

If you don't get a good enough answer from the AC people, try asking the DC people.

I thought the policy was, "Don't ask, don't tell"?

 

[Rubycon]

The term is subcooling although that's not really the reason why it isn't getting colder. Most trucks use refrigeration - not air conditioning.

This unit is Heat/AC.

I've always wanted a freezer trailer 'just in case"

Is it a heat pump?

 

[Toastedlightly]

Its most likely because the design pressure of the refrigerant only cools the coils to 66 F. Do you know what kind of refrigerant is being used in the system and pressure... ?

Not sure...

I'll find out.
It will go below 62 on hot days.

That's much too warm for any kind of cooling or even dehumidification. You need a TD of at least 15-20 degrees to get any significant cooling effect.
