How to cool the room. How to cool a room without air conditioning: saving you from the summer heat
In summer, the temperature in houses and apartments can reach 30 degrees Celsius or more. If there is an air conditioner in the room, it will reduce the air temperature to the set point in a few minutes. However, not everyone has such a technique.
1:965 1:975Therefore, today we will consider the question of how to cool a room without an air conditioner in various ways.

The lowest temperature in summer is observed from 4 to 7 am. At this time, you should "saturate" the room with fresh and cold air to the maximum. But if you do not want to get up so early, open the windows in the evening, at about 22: 00-22: 30.
2:474Airing the apartment - it is one of the most effective ways to reduce room temperature. But it remains effective as long as the above schedule of action is observed. Opening windows at 12 noon only aggravates the situation., saturating the room with hotter air.

Regular air humidification

How can you cool the room? Of course, the easiest way is the skillful use of water. In order to reduce the temperature in the room by 2-5 degrees, you should regularly humidify the air. This is done using a conventional spray. Specialty humidifiers can be purchased in stores, but this is a much more expensive option.
3:612 3:622It is known that the heat is more noticeable if the rooms have low humidity. It is just as bad if the humidity is high. To provide the rooms with the necessary air humidity, you can hang, for example, wet clothes or spray curtains with water from time to time.
3:1109In addition, vessels with water can be placed in the rooms, to which, if desired, add aromatic oils of lavender, mint or citrus fruits.
3:1363The easiest method is to fill an empty container of any window cleaner with running water. It should be sprayed every hour throughout the room.... This water can also be sprayed on yourself. As the liquid evaporates, your skin will feel noticeably cool.
3:18453:9
Foil
3:42
How to cool a room in hot weather with foil? Oddly enough, this material can also cope with high indoor temperatures. Reflective foil can be purchased at any hardware store. It is better to have it on a roll of 5 meters or more.
4:1051 4:1061This foil should be glued to the inside or outside of windows and walls. For the best effect, the entire area of \u200b\u200bglass and wallpaper is pasted over. Pay particular attention to the rooms whose windows face south and southwest. This is where the highest sun intensity is observed. Therefore, such rooms must be covered with foil. In this case, the material will reflect heat, and the room will be cool for a long time. This cooling method is very effective, since sunlight does not penetrate carpets, furniture and other interior elements, from which the air is subsequently heated.
4:2211Studies have shown that any room is heated not directly by hot air, but by objects that are exposed to sunlight. The latter, in turn, creates heat exchange with air, which causes suffocation in the apartment. True, the walls covered with foil will not add beauty to the interior, so this method does not have many fans.
4:636 4:646Curtains
4:676
So that the sun's rays do not penetrate into the room and do not heat it densely enough close the curtains. This method is suitable for apartments with south-facing windows. If the windows face north, there is no need to close the curtains.
5:16525:9
Blackout windows
5:58
This method is popular with southern apartment owners. Its essence is that on the glass a special protective film is applied greenish or bluish color, which prevents the penetration of sunlight into the room. The disadvantage of this method is that natural colors are lost outside the window.

If you do not have a desire to buy foil and glue windows with it, you can simply install blinds instead of curtains. How can you cool a room this way? The operating principle of the blinds is very simple. Keep them closed during the day, so that 90% of the sunlight will be trapped on the thin metal plates of the device. With blinds, you will not only cool the room, but also modernize the interior design of your home. But like curtains, they need regular care - at least a couple of times a year they need to be wiped with a dust and dirt remover.

During the heat walk on the naked cool floor - a pleasure, but the woolen pile underfoot causes not the most pleasant sensations. In addition, dust and fine dirt accumulate on the carpet in summer more than at any other time of the year.
The ideal solution is to free the floor from the carpet or carpet right nowby sending it for cleaning. It is he who is the main heat reflector, which prevents the penetration of cold from the floor to the rest of the room. You can also remove wall hangings. By the way, if the room is too humid, mold or mildew may form under them. Therefore, before re-hanging the carpet on the wall, treat the surface with a special anti-fungal agent.
Trinkets dear to the heart - photo frames, figurines and travel souvenirs - in the heat also turn into a kind of dust collectors. Remove them for a while from all horizontal surfaces in special organizer boxes. This will reduce the percentage of dust that settles, and therefore breathe easier.
8:1906How to cool a room in hot weather with ice?
8:100
Using ice, similar to spraying water, can lower the room temperature by a few degrees Celsius. It is enough for this freeze a few ice cubes in the refrigerator and then toss them onto a plate. They will gradually melt and cool the air temperature.

On sultry summer days try to use a gas stove and oven to a minimum. This significantly increases the air temperature, after which it is simply impossible to be in the kitchen. Gradually, all the hot air spreads around the entire perimeter of the house, which is highly undesirable for those who prefer coolness.
10:593 10:603About wet cleaning
10:654
In the hot season it is advisable to carry out wet cleaning in the rooms as often as possible... It is necessary to regularly wash floors, wipe windows, shelves and doors. All this will allow you to slightly increase the humidity in the room, as well as get rid of dust, which in turn will make it easier to breathe. Due to the evaporation of water, the air temperature will gradually decrease, moreover, the room will be sufficiently saturated with moisture, which is sorely lacking on summer days.
11:198211:9
Electronic devices
11:67 11:77
It is not recommended to use electrical appliances during the day, which significantly heat the apartment. These are vacuum cleaners, irons, personal computers, printers and televisions. Pay particular attention to the last element. If you are not watching TV, turn it off as, in addition to rising temperatures, electricity bills will rise. If you have an electric heated towel rail, cover it with foil or only use it as a last resort. This technique always heats the air in any room.
12:152512:9
Wet sheet
12:59
There is another interesting tip on how to cool a room in hot weather without air conditioning. It consists in using several bowls (basins) with water and sheets. How to cool a room in hot weather using these elements? Everything is very simple. The basin should be placed near the door, and the sheet should be hung on the door. so that its ends are in contact with water. The fabric gradually absorbs water, thereby cooling the entire room. It is important that the area of \u200b\u200bthe lying sheet is as large as possible. Remember, the wider and longer it is, the faster evaporation and heat transfer occurs.
13:1597 13:9We make an air conditioner out of a fan
13:93
How to cool a room with a fan? It is quite possible to do this. For this we need one fan and several liters of running water. Naturally, all the liquid must be filled into a certain container (a container such as plastic bottles and bowls). Fill a container with water and place it in the freezer for several hours. After the liquid has turned into ice, remove the container back, then put it in front of the fan. Remember that the air flow from the blades must go to this container. How can you quickly cool a room with these simple elements? As practice shows, the first result is already expected after 10-15 minutes of fan operation. But so that the air does not heat up again, as the ice melts, containers should be changed to cooler ones.
14:205314:9
Do not use the fan when you are not indoors. If you think that this device, on the principle of an air conditioner, reduces the air temperature after a few minutes, you are deeply mistaken. The fan only moves air from one side to the other, while its electric motor heats up significantly. You will only get a feeling of coolness if the air flow is directed towards you, and best of all - from refrigerated containers, as described earlier.
14:879 14:889Alternative way
14:951
There is another method of cooling a room with a fan. But here we will use an unusual device. It is called ceiling fan. We often see such devices in Venezuelan and Mexican films. However, this does not mean that it is impossible to acquire it in Russia. It costs about 3-4 thousand rubles. Such a device is absolutely silent, does not create drafts during operation and does not at all heat the room with its motor. It is very difficult to catch a cold using such a device. The ceiling fan does not interfere with watching TV or working at a PC. With this, you will quickly feel that the room has become easier to breathe. How can you cool the room
15:269715:9
So, we figured out how to cool a room in the heat without using expensive air conditioners.
15:193As you can see, it is not necessary to use expensive equipment for this - all of the above methods are very simple and effective.
15:428 15:438
In order for the above methods to be most effective, you need to remember the following recommendations:
- prevent dehydration of the body (follow the drinking regime, regularly consuming water, you can add a mint leaf to it);
- take a cool bath or shower several times a day;
- you can keep your feet in a basin of cold water;
- go to bed on the floor, because the lower the air, the cooler it is;
- use satin or calico bedding;
- wear light colored clothing.
Unfortunately, there is no perfect weather. Therefore, you need to be able to adapt to any temperature, both low and high, in order to ensure yourself comfort, regardless of the season.
16:220216:9
And some more tips!
16:59 16:69 16:79
In hot weather, try to drink as much liquid as possible.
17:690 17:700Oddly enough, but it is hot tea that best helps the body to endure the heat., as the body temperature rises slightly, plus there is a sweating effect.
17:1026 17:1036Ice water creates a deceiving effect - in fact, it even more awakens a person's thirst.
17:1233 17:1243Drink room temperature liquid and eat cold meals. Among the latter are okroshka, milk, vegetables and fruits, as well as salads. In addition, your body will be saturated with enough vitamins, which will effectively fight off viruses and infections in winter.
17:17631. The fact that your house has turned into a branch of the Finnish sauna is to blame for the direct sunlight that penetrates through the windows and heats the air. The first step is to shade the windows or lower the blinds on them. People who have thick white linen curtains live best in the heat. White reflects the sun's rays, and flax, according to popular beliefs and flax sellers, cools the air.
2. Another reliable way to block the sun's rays is to order window tinting. A protective film will be glued to the glass, and you will be able to see your yard in pretty bluish tones (however, you can choose any color in which you would prefer to observe the neighboring old women). The main thing is not to overdo it, and not to make the tinting too thick: in cloudy dark weather, your dwelling will be dark and dull.
3. For those who are too lazy to tinker with tinting, we suggest tinkering with foil and double-sided tape. Foil is pasted over the windows facing the sunny side, creating a wonderful rustling shade for themselves. Experts advise to glue the tape not on the glass, but on the frame; the housekeeper who washes your windows will thank you later.
4. The vents you opened should be closed to reduce the supply of warm air from the street. It is best to ventilate the room in the early morning, before sunrise, or in the late evening... The smartest will probably leave the windows open all night.
In the heat, the best entertainment is wet cleaning
5. To preserve moisture and coolness, we recommend decorating your interior with wet towels hung here and there. You can simply wet the curtains and sometimes spray them with refreshing mint or citrus scent from a spray bottle (a couple of drops of scented oil in a bottle of water). As part of the program to increase the humidity in the house, ask the girls who came to you to walk around the territory exclusively in wet T-shirts. And they are cooler, and you have something to examine.
6. Ask the housekeeper to come more often (she can wear a dry T-shirt). The fact is that in hot weather it is best to do wet cleaning every day: at least wipe the door handles with cool water. And at the same time, ask her to get rid of the carpets (do you have carpets? The rug by the front door does not count). At temperatures above 25 degrees, it is easiest to walk around the house, like Leo Tolstoy, barefoot. Carpets will spoil the whole feeling of the marvelous chill from the laminate.
7. In addition, you can buy a humidifier, but you need to be careful: with the hellish heat, your Finnish sauna has every chance of turning into a Turkish one. But if you've darkened the windows correctly, chances are a humidifier will do good. Don't overdo it: extreme darkness and humidity can bring new life forms into your nest, such as moldy wallpaper.
8. Make sure that there are no strong sources of air heating in the apartment: the batteries have already been disconnected, 4 burners do not work on the kitchen stove at once, the lamp TV is pulled out of the network. Summer is a good time to replace a cave computer with a heating system unit the size of a closet with a handy tablet.
9. If the above tips no longer help to cool the air, it's time to make a homemade air conditioner. We freeze water in plastic bottles and place them on a tray in front of the fan. You can direct the fan jet to the point in space that needs it most. For example, on yourself. It's time to change direction at the moment when you look around for a sweater.
10. These same plastic ice bottles can be thrown into your bed. And before going to bed, put the anti-heating pads in the freezer again. Choose silk instead of cotton bedding - silk tends to slightly cool the skin.
11. If you are seriously concerned about the problems of global warming in your home, plant some spreading trees under your windows. Years will pass, and a gracious shadow from green spaces will fall on the windows. For the same purpose, you can plant a flower garden on the balcony. At a meeting of the HOA, offer to paint the house in light colors. And what - in hot Arab countries everyone does this.
12. Surely you remember from the school physics course that warm air rises upward. When the heat takes over, take the lowest point in space. Lie down on a low sofa or even on a rugless floor. It is good to think about the vicissitudes of the weather here.

P.s. Do you know more methods? Write in the comments!)
The stuffiness and heat in the apartment makes it difficult to live, work and sleep normally. It is good if there is an opportunity to install an air conditioner, but what if there is none? A few simple tips will help cool the apartment at least a little.
Being in a stuffy room is not only difficult but also unhealthy, but what to do if that stuffy room is your own apartment or house? Not always, in order to lower the degree in the house, you need to resort to buying an air conditioner, although, of course, it does the best with cooling rooms.
But in addition to the advantages, the air conditioner has disadvantages - it may not be affordable for someone, plus it consumes electricity, which is why you will receive more bill at the end of the month. If you adhere to several rules and tips, then the degree in the apartment can be lowered with improvised means.
Close windows
In the daytime, open windows will not give you so much the desired coolness, but, on the contrary, will create a greenhouse effect in the room. Therefore, make sure that all your windows and doors are tightly closed during the daytime. Moreover, it is better to close them in every sense of the word - hang up blackout light curtains and keep them drawn in the daytime.
Reflective tape, which you can apply to the glass, will also help cope with heat and excess sunlight.
Create a draft
In the evening, nevertheless, the apartment needs to be ventilated, but on condition that you can create a draft - this is the only way you can get rid of the stuffy air, and not vice versa, overtake it even more.
During airing, be careful not to catch a cold, it is best to open windows and doors one by one - while one part of the apartment is being ventilated, you are relaxing in another, or you can go out into the yard for a while - just do not go far from the house and keep an eye on the apartment, because you have all windows are open.
Humidify the air
Moisture-laden air will help cool your apartment. You can create it using the most ordinary spray bottle - fill it with ice water and spray the apartment once an hour and a half. You should not do this more often, otherwise the effect of a bath will be created in the apartment and dampness will appear.
If you have a humidifier, it will do the job just fine - just fill a container with cold water, or even add some ice to it.
Fan, ice and water
The simplest fan, ice and water will help to cope with the stuffiness. Fill the bottle with water (diluted with salt to prevent the bottle from bursting) and freeze it in the refrigerator, or take any cup or bowl and fill it with iced water.
Place bottles or a bowl in front of a running fan - this method will more than replace your air conditioner. Just as with humidifying the air, do not overdo it.
Get rid of all the unnecessary
It is best to turn your apartment into the best piece of minimalism for the summer. Remove carpets and anything that collects dust and heat around you. Floors without carpets can be wiped once a day, and the temperature in the apartment will immediately drop noticeably - and walking on such a floor in the heat is more pleasant than on a heated carpet.
Sofas and upholstered furniture can be covered with light natural fabric, and the use of any equipment and lamps is also better to be minimized - this way your apartment will heat up less, and your wallet will say thank you at the end of the month, when a receipt with utilities arrives.
If you have such an opportunity, you can turn off the coil in the bathroom for summer time.
Keep your bed cool
The heat makes it hard to sleep, so keep your bed cool. During the daytime, bed linen can be folded into bags and put to cool in the refrigerator. Yes, laying it down every day can be a real hassle, but you can limit yourself to just a few items - for example, cool only pillows or sheets that way.
A bowl of ice and water placed at the head of the bed can also help cope with the heat.
The basic rules for keeping your room cool are: isolate it from direct sunlight, minimize the use of electrical appliances and dust-collecting materials, keep the air humid, and remember to let cool air in in the evenings or nights.
Can a mobile air conditioner replace an expensive split system? Is it worth buying and how to install it, according to FORUMHOUSE users
Everyone needs comfort. Especially when it's hot outside the window.
In such weather, it is impossible to create an optimal microclimate without an air conditioner.
Readers are well aware of the advantages of modern split systems, consisting of two blocks - internal and external.
However, air conditioners of this type are expensive, and their installation can cost a pretty penny.
What if you need an air conditioner, but there is not enough money to buy it? Forget about comfort?
Not at all, the solution may be to install a so-called mobile air conditioner.
And although this climatic equipment has a number of disadvantages, it often becomes the best choice for summer residents or people who rent rented apartments.
What is a mobile air conditioner?
The mobile air conditioner is a monoblock device, similar to the well-known window air conditioner.
The main difference is the vertical arrangement of the units in the mobile air conditioner.
In the upper section of the housing there is an evaporator and a ventilation unit, and under them, in the lower section, there is a compressor, a condenser and a fan that removes heat from it.
The principle of operation of a mobile air conditioner is as follows: the air in the room is pumped through the air intake into the upper part of the case, where it is filtered, cooled and re-emitted into the room through openings covered with blinds.
The air is cooled like this: the compressor "compresses" the refrigerant and takes away the heat that the refrigerant received from the air.
The compressor is also cooled by air, which, passing through the condenser radiator, heats up and is thrown out into the street through a flexible air duct (similar to a vacuum cleaner's corrugated hose) with a diameter of 150 mm and a length of 1.5 meters.
Having understood the general principles of a mobile air conditioner, you can understand what its advantages and disadvantages are.
Serko FORUMHOUSE user
Among the disadvantages of a mobile air conditioner are:
Increased operating noise associated with the operation of the compressor and fan;
- outside air can be sucked in through leaks and slots of the hose hole;
- lower efficiency than split systems;
- takes up space on the floor.
Strekoza FORUMHOUSE user
In the hottest summer of 2010, I thought about buying a mobile air conditioner, but after weighing all the pros and cons, I refused. In my opinion, it works too loudly, the exhaust hose heats up during operation and, accordingly, increases the temperature in the room. To properly seal the hose, you will need to drill a hole in the wall. And the dimensions of the mobile air conditioner are rather big, so you can't hide it in an apartment. And I consider it unprofitable to use it only 3 months a year, in the very heat.
However, there are models that, in addition to cooling, also heat the room. These air conditioners are equipped with heating elements. In addition, more expensive models can work in heat pump mode, removing cold air from the room and replacing it with warm air.
ametistov FORUMHOUSE user
Although split systems can also work to heat the room, at low temperatures, for example -25 ° C, they no longer work, but a mobile air conditioner equipped with a simple heating coil will cope with the task by heating the room in fan heater mode. So a mobile air conditioner can help out both in winter and summer.
The advantages of a mobile air conditioner include:
- low cost;
- easy installation - all work can be done independently;
- there is no need to conduct communications through the wall and, accordingly, to additionally pay for the installation of the air conditioner, like a split system;
- the facade of the house does not spoil the external block, like a split system;
- mobility - the air conditioner can be taken to the country house or moved on wheels around the rooms;
- mobile air conditioners can filter, dehumidify, heat rooms and operate in ventilation mode.
Stranger FORUMHOUSE user
A mobile air conditioner quickly and easily cools a room of 20-40 sq. m to comfortable 20-22 ° C.
Often a mobile air conditioner is chosen for seasonal installation in the country, because it is not visible, it will not attract the attention of thieves who will immediately notice the external block of the split system hanging on the wall.
You can only put it on in the summer when you really need it. The split system hangs on the wall all year round, and the outdoor unit can be forced to remove. The main disadvantage of a mobile air conditioner is high noise
And although a mobile air conditioner has many advantages, one of its significant disadvantages is the presence of condensation, which must be constantly drained. The condensate is collected in a special container located at the bottom of the monoblock. The volume of the container is on average 5 liters. If the liquid is not removed in time, the air conditioner will turn off.
Swel FORUMHOUSE user
In expensive models, condensate is pumped out by drainage pumps. Liquid drainage can be organized through a window or window. The capacity, on average, lasts for 7-9 hours of continuous operation.
How to choose and install a mobile air conditioner?
The maximum area that the air conditioner can serve is indicated in the product passport. Based on practical experience, we can say that it is better to take power with a certain margin.
In this case, the air conditioner will not constantly operate at maximum mode, which will extend its service life and reduce the noise level.
Stranger FORUMHOUSE user
Better to choose the most powerful mobile air conditioner. It will cool the room faster. And they all make noise equally.
In addition, you need to remember a few standard requirements:
- Hot air should be released through a specially drilled hole in the wall or through a specially prepared window opening.
- If you just "throw" the hose into an open window, then all the work of the air conditioner, due to the air coming from outside, will be reduced to "no".
- Do not cover the air intake openings with anything.
- You can turn on the air conditioner 2 hours after its installation.
One of the most common questions related to the installation of a mobile air conditioner is where and how to remove the hot air hose?
Stranger FORUMHOUSE user
I think it's best to drill a hole in the wall. Some models have a round-to-flat adapter. The strip is inserted into the slot of the slightly opened window.
Some manufacturers complement the mobile air conditioner kit with a special window plug with a cut-out hole for the air duct.
Leowka FORUMHOUSE user
I have a mobile air conditioner near the door of the loggia. I cut a hole in the door, where I inserted the plastic door that comes with the air conditioner. There are no drafts. The air conditioner cools the 15 sq. m. For 5 hours of operation, the temperature drops from + 35 ° C to + 26 ° C. But at the same time he makes a lot of noise, it is impossible to sleep.
You can also drill a hole in a brick wall with a crown and lead the air duct through a flat pipe 200x60 mm.
Serko FORUMHOUSE user
The flat pipe runs well under the window sill and does not interfere.
An interesting way to install a mobile air conditioner proposed by a forum member Mikhail Kuprikov .
Summer heat and high temperatures can reduce our productivity, affect our mood and be detrimental to health, especially in the elderly. There are ways to cool an apartment in the heat without using an air conditioner. They will help to solve the problem with heat without large financial costs, or at least reduce its negative impact, increase comfort, and, consequently, improve mood.
In fairness, it should be noted that the air conditioner really reduces the air temperature due to a special physical process and expensive equipment, the methods listed below will only temporarily, to one degree or another, help to fight the unbearable heat.
Window
It is worth remembering that opening all the windows in an apartment in the heat, especially at temperatures above +35 ºС, is not the most correct option. First, even in the absence of an air conditioner, rooms are usually more comfortable. It is logical to assume that by opening the windows, you will simply "let in" the summer heat, and you will suffer from the heat even more. Some resort to trick and try to tightly close the windows on the sunny side, and open them in the shade. This method cannot be called effective, because with active air exchange it does not matter at all whether the window is in the shade or not - the temperature will be the same.
The best option would be minimal ventilation, which will save you from stuffiness, but will not allow the coolness to leave the apartment through the windows. It is better to ventilate the apartment fully at night, in cloudy or cool weather. It is optimal to do this from 10 pm, and it is worth stopping airing with the first manifestations of heat (usually 8-9 am).
If you are tormented by the heat and are looking for ways to cool your apartment efficiently, pay attention to your windows. 90% of the heat penetrates into the apartment precisely because of the direct exposure to sunlight. First of all, blind all windows, close the blinds. Thick curtains are a guarantee of protection from ultraviolet radiation and an increase in room temperature to such that it becomes unbearable. Of course, not everyone will like this atmosphere, but it is worth making a decision - a sunny room or coolness and comfort.
A popular method now is also pasting with reflective film. A slightly more perfect option is to apply light filters that do not allow ultraviolet radiation into the room. By the way, if you are thinking about the question of how to cool an apartment during the renovation or construction phase, and there is no way to install an air conditioner, install special energy-efficient windows with a polarized coating applied. They guarantee warmth and comfort in winter, and coolness and freedom from the summer heat in summer.
Moisture
Humid air can reduce the effect of heat in an apartment. The stuffiness, dry air, combined with high temperatures can ruin the life of even a hot climate lover. The installed household air humidifier, of course, will not replace the air conditioner, but it will make the apartment pleasant for spending time. In general, this device is quite versatile, since it solves the problem of indoor humidity in winter and temperature in summer. A humidifier is especially useful if you have small children.
Even if you are very scrupulous and thoroughly wet cleaning, in the summer, especially in the heat, dust particles easily rise from the floor, move from shelves and hard-to-reach places. It is for this reason that many allergy sufferers and asthmatics experience an exacerbation during this period. Humid air can reduce the effects of dust.
Modern developments allow the use of such a device in the house as an air wash. This device performs several functions at once:
- Humidification - the ultrasonic membrane is intensively capable of humidifying a sufficiently large internal volume. One has only to remember that the device works effectively only in the room where humidification is needed.
- Cleaning the air from dust, fungal spores, viruses - in the summer heat, dust rises from the floor and moves to the middle layers of the room volume, is in a suspended state. Washing the air will allow a large volume of air to pass through a mechanical and water filter in order to purify it from contaminants.
Even if you have such a device, it is necessary to wash floors more often, to wet clean surfaces, to wipe furniture and shelves.
Additional heat sources
Despite the hot season, we cannot always refuse to use appliances that generate heat. This means that in addition to the natural elevated temperature, additional heating takes place inside the room.
Unplug heated towel rails if they are connected to hot water or electric if there are no thermostats. Firstly, such a heating device is not needed, and secondly, it is capable of generating a sufficiently large amount of heat, equal to 100-400 W. In winter, this is enough to heat a small bathroom, why is it warm in summer?
It is worth remembering that every electrical device produces heat, to one degree or another. If you have conventional incandescent bulbs installed, add up their number and calculate the wattage. More than 5 lamps can provide heat energy comparable to a small radiator. Not only does this increase energy consumption, but it also causes additional discomfort in the summer.
Hot air spreads very quickly indoors. If you have to cook for a long time, close the doors and open the windows. It would be better to reduce the use of the stove, electric kettle, and cook and reheat food in the microwave.
Delusions
Contrary to obvious misconceptions, the fan is not able to cool the air; on the contrary, it heats it up. Why is it then used? Just for the sake of feeling cool, creating forced ventilation in the room. Our sweat glands actively secrete fluid onto the surface of the skin, and it evaporates. At the same time, an exothermic process takes place that cools us.
The fan is not capable of cooling, but if you install it in the immediate vicinity of the workplace, you can breathe a sigh of relief. You can use the fan effectively only by placing it in the direction of a window or front door. It must move hot air masses from the room to the street if the room is located on the sunny side and overheats a lot.
Excessive humidity is also bad. Many people unknowingly hang a large amount of linen inside the apartment, hang out wet curtains. The result is a not very pleasant and comfortable climate, very similar to the tropics. Humidity plays a decisive role in the summer. Firstly, curtains that are hung directly in the sun's rays dry out instantly, secondly, they can deteriorate because of this, and thirdly, one curtain can contain up to 5 liters. water that evaporates almost instantly and saturates the internal volume. It will become difficult to breathe, you can suddenly become covered with profuse sweat, which will dry out more slowly due to the saturation of moisture in the air. Not a very happy prospect, especially in the heat.
Air conditioner purchase
Buying an air conditioner, albeit an expensive one, is a profitable task in terms of comfort. Depending on where you live, the heat can be easily tolerated or require considerable effort.
