This video starts with a visual montage of the sheer number of air conditioners used on our street in Cairo, Egypt, describing them as energy parasites that actually increase the heat of the surrounding air. It then shows the vacuum tube heat pipe solar absorption cooling air conditioning system installed by solar engineer Les Hamasaki at the Debs Park Audubon Environmental Center in Los Angeles. Les Hamasaki describes the 10-ton solar chiller and we conclude with a note about how solar chillers not only eliminate the need for air conditioners, but the need for entire power plants. They also produce hot water and can be used for sterilizing and desalinating contaminated water. As we say...

I've had many people email me for technical help with their air conditioners. Walking people through the process step by step over AIM or the telephone can be a real challenge. I have no problem with giving people the knowledge to fix their own equipment. I am concerned about their safety. Telling people how to change their air filter and cleaning the condensate drain just isn't enough for most of my viewers. It's time I told people that sometimes you need a professional to do the work.

As an HVAC tech it was always funny, yet a pain in the ass, to service an air conditioner that a home owner fabricated a sun shade on top of.

They THINK that the little home made shade will make it more efficient. But in fact once the air is moving it makes NO DIFFERENCE to the incoming air temperature at all, and in fact many times causes air to reflect off of the shade itself and cause it to recirculate back into the coil intake!

Check this out. Possibly the WORST 2 story rooftop Air Conditioner setup EVER in the Pheonix/Scottsdale, AZ area!

This is at the 7700 E Indian School Rd area of Scottsdale, AZ.
These are two story rooftops. The Air Conditioners are on these steep pitched rooftops with NO catwalk to stand on while servicing (which is required by code). These are designed so retarded that they have a lower roof level that is at about a 5/12 pitch and they expect you to place your 20+ foot ladder on it and hope it doesn't slide of as you climb almost 20 feet higher to reach the second story rooftop that is also about a 5/12 pitch!

I can only wonder how the fack this sh*t...
