BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
An air conditioner, commonly known as AC, is a device crafted for cooling indoor spaces. In conventional AC systems, the primary method for dissipating heat from the Condenser Coil relies on air circulation. However, in regions with hot and humid climates, the inherent cooling capability of air is restricted, posing challenges to the system's effectiveness. Moreover, a significant issue arises as the condensed water generated during the cooling process often goes to waste. In traditional setups, this valuable resource is not utilized, contributing to inefficiency, and missed opportunities for sustainable practices. The challenge lies in finding innovative solutions to repurpose or manage the condensed water effectively, addressing both performance and environmental concerns.
The need for the present invention arises to overcome the challenges of conventional air conditioners, by introducing innovative solutions to enhance cooling efficiency, promote sustainability, and offer a more effective solution for air conditioning in diverse environmental conditions.
OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION
The main objective of the present invention is to enhance the overall efficiency with eco-friendly practices in air conditioning technology.
Another objective of the present invention is the system's responsiveness to hot and humid climates, ensuring consistent and effective cooling performance across a range of environmental conditions, making it adaptable and reliable in diverse geographical settings.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to optimize the heat dissipation process by repurposing a byproduct of the cooling process to enhance the unit's overall cooling efficiency.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide a system that can achieve desired temperature levels leading to reduced overall energy consumption, contributing to energy efficiency and potential cost savings for users.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to extend the operational lifespan of window air conditioning systems by preventing excessive wear and tear caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
