Popular Post webfact Posted October 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2023 Phuket International Airport officials have responded to a number of recent grievances about high temperatures within the airport’s international terminal. Sweaty passengers have taken their concerns to social media. Yesterday, the airport administration responded… “In response to the reported issue, it was discovered that one of the two chillers (compressors) within the airport had experienced a malfunction. This malfunction resulted in higher indoor temperatures, compounded by a refrigerant leak in the machine.” The airport promptly reported the problem to their air conditioning service provider to sort out the problem. In the interim, 90 mobile air conditioning units were deployed within the terminal to alleviate any discomfort.

paul1804 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) If the actual indoor terminal temperature was 25.5C no one should be complaining, I suspect that the picture in this article was not the actual terminal temperature, more like what it should be! Typical muppet show, someone needs to complain before they realise the temperature has gone up and they have a chiller out! BTW a chiller is not a compressor but with a chiller not working the compressor will overheat and should cut out!

Wait till it's 35C feels like 45C I suspect that 75°F becomes hot when one goes from their air conditioned house, to their air conditioned car, to their air conditioned office, to their air conditioned car, to the air conditioned grocery store and back to their air conditioned house....

Drop the dead donkey Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 It is typical of Thailand to do something after the horse has bolted. I just sit and read the incompetence of everything Thai. For me, I always get a chuckle, just by reading the news weekly. You don’t need to read weird news on Reuters anymore. Just follow Thailand’s daily antics. 😀😀👌👌👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulikens Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 usually ridiculously cold in Thai airports with the ice cold setting they put the air-con on. would have made a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
