Air conditioning unit

Original - A typical window air-conditioning unit.

Reason: The image has a good compromise of simplicity and detail. I feel that it explains the subject pretty well.

Oppose No source, and no explanation of what is 'typical'. And the image description page has ~0 info on what the labels mean (nor is it nearby in the article) or what the parts do. Narayanese (talk) 21:38, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for now Would reconsider with sourcing. Durova^Charge! 23:41, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The image now has a source and a detailed description. --Pbroks13^talk? 06:49, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is a clear and colorful diagram, but the evaporator section is wrong. A centrifugal fan does not work the way you have drawn. The air doesn't go in the side of the unit, but goes through a big grill in the front. The air is drawn through a filter and over the coil (which cools it) and into the "eye" of the blower, where it is then flung out to the side. Now the air is going perpendicular to its original direction, so it makes a 90 degree turn and is directed out a second vent in the front of the unit. If you look at pictures you will clearly see the inlet and outlet vents in the front. The filter makes the inlet grill look kind of opaque, like with this one.

To fix it, you can:

- Take the bottom blue arrow in the front, reverse its direction, make it red until it gets to the coil, and move it up until it's pointed into the center of the fan blower. Label it indoor air.

- The blue arrow on top can stay where it is, but it should be all blue. This is the cooled air.

- The big red arrow on the bottom can be deleted, as it just doesn't work like that.

The condenser section looks ok to me. HowStuffWorks has a diagram here showing how the air does a U-turn in the evaporator side. Hope that helps. Fletcher (talk) 23:33, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not promoted without prejudice against rerunning it later, once issues are dealt with. --Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 04:40, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
