Split AC Keeps Freezing over in exercise room
And now, Folks, I think it is time to address the, as yet unaddressed, part of this Topic, stated in the OP, that of ...Sweat. The OP, atpeace, states that he sweats more than average. However, is this really true? I think not. The OP clearly states that he sweats about "2-3 liters an hour on very hard days", and he seems to think that this means that he is some sort of... Super-Sweater. However, I disagree, and he is much mistaken. Obviously, the OP is not very familiar with Human Physiology, because if he were then he would know that.... Maximum sweat rates per hour, for an adult human, range from 2 to 4 liters. Therefore, just judging by the OP's own reporter, the OP is merely a middling sweater, and not... A super sweater. I have recently investigated the OP's contention and he is just plain average, at least... In the sweating department. There are many research articles which substantiate what I am stating, but the simplest blurb is that of... Wikipedia: So, also, if the OP is sweating only TWO liters per hour, then...we can probably guess that he is just.... Not working hard enough at his "hard day" workouts....because.... This would be my guess. And, just from my own experience, sweating....: When I was younger, I rowed a lot in the noonday Sun, both in Southern Florida, for fun, and in... Philly as part of a crew. This is how I know something about sweat. For example, when you get 8 guys in a shell, rowing up and down the river, for hours... The resultant sweat stays in the boat. And then, when you lift the boat over your heads, upon taking it out of the river....then... The gallons of sweat just pour all over everyone. And, most guys in crew do not wash their shirts and shorts, for weeks. This is true...and it's sort of like a tradition among all crews in Philly....and Just visit any boathouse on the Schuylkill River...because they all smell like... A zoo. So, anyway, this is what leads me to think that the OP might be some old guy, and not a young guy. Young guys sweat more than two liters per hour, EASY, during even a warm up, not to mention this... "hard day" the OP speaks about. But if you really want to know about sweat: Just try rowing an Alden shell in the Florida heat and humidity during summer months. After about 3 hours of steady rowing, then you are bound to have over two gallons of sweat... Sloshing around in the bottom of your boat. In fact, if you forget to bail it out, then there is always the danger of sinking in one of the alligator-infested swamps...which... They call canals in Naples. But they are swamps. So, the reason I mention this is that... Even though many of the statements written in this Topic see unbelievable....for sure.... The OP is not exaggerating when he states... Three liters per hour. =================== So what does this mean in terms of what might be required to compensate for all this sweat? Much of the sweat being sweated does not immediately evaporate. But even still, I would say that one should have planned for this, before one recently purchased an.... Air Conditioner. And so, I would say that if one plans to sweat 3 - 4 liters indoors, in a tiny room... First, please, choose an AC that is rated to remove about 4.1 liters per hour, of water vapor, just as does... The one that I chose, for my bedroom. I don't sweat much in my bedroom, these days. I am too old and celibate to sweat that much. However, if I knew that I were buying an AC for my personal tiny gym...then... I would first read the physiology research and plan for this sweating eventuality. =========================== I have already given this Topic a great deal of thought. As I said, I like this important topic. We can learn from others's mistakes, and this is how humanity progresses... Through passing down culture from one generation to the next, or from one TV member... To the next. ============================ Here are two things among many that I have learned from this Topic: a. Yes, adult humans can sweat up to about 4 liters per hour. b. My Panasonic AC can extract about 4.1 liters of water per hour. c. And, the machine I purchased is JUST marginal for use in a tiny personal gym. d. Yes, adding a fan will help cool the treadmill fanatic. e. But, in order to have a better workout, then do due diligence and choose a machine that will give you 55% humidity or below, at a temp of 23-degrees C, or below. When we are young, we can more easily tolerate temperature and humidity extremes. But when we grow old, we become desiccated organisms and we must make a Conscious effort to stay hydrated, day in and day out. -

Chinese National Arrested for Illegal Luxury Car Rentals Linked to Cross-Border Operations
Picture courtesy of immigration. Bangkok, Immigration authorities have arrested a Chinese national suspected of illegally renting luxury vehicles to foreign customers, with many of the cars frequently travelling to border provinces. The operation is believed to be connected to illicit business networks. At a press conference on 19 March, held at the Immigration Bureau, senior officials including Pol. Maj. Gen. Phanthana Nuchanart, Deputy Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, and Pol. Maj. Gen. Parnop Worathanatchakul, Chief of the Immigration Bureau’s Investigation Division, announced the arrest of Mr. Ma, a 30-year-old Chinese national, on charges of “misuse of vehicles” and “operating a business without a licence.” The arrest follows a directive from the Royal Thai Police to monitor foreign nationals engaging in activities that could affect national security or public order. Investigators had been tracking a group of luxury vehicles registered under foreign ownership that were making frequent trips to border provinces, raising suspicions of links to so-called “grey businesses” , illicit operations often associated with Chinese criminal syndicates. Authorities obtained a search warrant from the Phra Khanong Criminal Court and raided a residence in Suan Luang, Bangkok, where Mr. Ma and his wife were residing. Evidence found at the property indicated that Mr. Ma was running an illegal luxury car rental business catering to foreign clients, primarily through online platforms. He allegedly employed Thai nationals fluent in Chinese to act as chauffeurs for the vehicles. A check on vehicle registrations revealed that Mr. Ma owned four luxury cars with distinctive licence plates. Tracking data showed that these cars frequently travelled to provinces bordering neighbouring countries, including Sa Kaeo, Chiang Rai, and Chanthaburi. Mr. Ma has been charged with operating a business without a permit. Additionally, Thai nationals involved in driving the rented cars from Suvarnabhumi Airport to border areas are also facing legal action. Authorities are now expanding their investigation to determine the identities of customers who used the service and whether the operation was linked to broader criminal activities. -- 2025-03-20
