Do window air conditioners work if installed in a fireplace?
Jun 16, 2007 by jueyanz
Would the chimney function similarly to a window? Would convection occur in such a narrow space? Would the standing air column limit effectiveness of heat exchange?
The air conditioner would work but would eventually the compressor would trip due to overheating of the freon. The basics of an air conditioning system include a refrigerant, compressor, thermal expansion valve, and a heat exchanger. Depending on the application and size, etc., there could be a cooling system on each end of this cycle.
Since the window unit is normally exposed to open areas the forced air fan can dissipate the heat from the unit easily, if you place it in an enclosed space such as a fireplace, the hot air will rise assuming the damper is open and, unless you seal it in the fireplace, most of the air from the blower will be in your house. since the ambient temp will rise faster in an enclosed area without ventilation, the compressor will overheat trying to bring about the phase change of the refrigerant from gas to liquid. If you have ever used a window unit, you have seen them 'freeze' up on hot days or when run continuously for long periods.
Of course a semistagnant column of air, which has a poor heat transfer coefficient, will limit the effectiveness of the window unit and slow heat exchange.
This is a basic answer.
How much space do you need to create a 1/2bathroom? We have a kitchen pantry...what does the WIDTH have to be?
Oct 08, 2006 by Leslie
We are purchasing a home with no first floor bathroom. The only space available is the Kitchen pantry. (The other rooms have beautiful beams on the ceiling & or a fireplace or baywindow or columns & we dont want to take away from the integrity of the historic home. Under the stairs is not an option (it turns and becomes the basement stairs.) So, the kitchen pantry is SMALL..but thats it. The house is kindof small..craftsman bungalow 1 1/2 story. What is the MINIMUM amount of space needed for a small powder room? (Toilet & tiny sink & pocket door.) Width/length? And any other tips (ie plumbing stack advice?)
According to the Uniform Building Code the toilet compartment must be 36" wide and have 24" in front of the toilet bowl. This would make your half bath 36" wide by about 5'-8" long with a pocket door on the side.
