The humidity in Chiang Rai is above 90%, because it has been raining non-stop since April.

 

 

Yes...

 

This is what I alluded to in the Topic.

The past two years seem to have shown unusually greater precipitation, compared to years in the previous decade.

 

Also, I do hope you still have a bit of salt in your shaker.

 

And, if you need me to explain to you relative humidity, then I would be very much surprised.

 

 

The above two images are not for you.....as you already knew this about 1000 years ago, no doubt.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  This is actually about   Sixth-Grade science, these days, in case you might not know.  This is fodder for elementary school students just graduating from 6th grade, these days....

I have not noticed any increase in humidity , maybe something to do with all the rain we have

been getting 😂...  around the house I only wear a sarong ,and we only have fans ,as I don't

like A/c ,but I have 24 of them in rental properties ,and they are the bane of my life..

 

OP try taking some clothes off

Airconditioners don't "spew" water, the water get drained outside

How Air Conditioning Lowers Humidity

Contrary to what you might think, your air conditioner doesn’t increase cool, dry air in your home—it eliminates heat and humidity. The process requires refrigerant, which soaks up heat and moisture effectively from the indoor air. Here’s how it works:

• Indoor air rushes through the ductwork and all over the evaporator coil that contains cold refrigerant.
• The refrigerant soaks up heat, and the moisture in the air condenses on the coil.

• The condensation falls into the condensate pan below the evaporator coil and drains out of the system.
• Cooler, dehumidified air flows back into your home.

 

 

Air conditioners are an example of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. In layman terms, heat cannot flow from a hotter to a colder body without work. The compressor in the aircon transfers heat from the ambient air to the refrigerant, water drops out of the air as it cools.

 

In absorbing heat, the refrigerant is converted from liquid to gas. As it passes through a radiator, it condenses back to liquid, rejecting heat to outside.

 

Your own post illustrates you don't understand the process.

Figure of speech.

 

I usually collect about 15 litres of water operating an aircon most of the afternoon at the house.

When I worked in the Pilbara, daytime temperatures could be 35 - 40 C.

 

Quite comfortable, because the humidity was only 10% RH.

Of course if you collect the water in the room then the humidity in that room will increase, but that is not how an aircon is supposed to work.

I may of been wrong all this time.

 

You really are a genius.

 

 

[CallumWK]

In my bedroom I have a temperature with humidity meter.

 

When I wake up in the morning the temperature is 27 degrees and the humidity is around 60%.

 

During the day when the aircon isn't running in the bedroom, the temperature and humidity increase

It's also why portable evaporative coolers in a room are useless. unless the air RH is 10%

 

I guess we will have to wait a long time for you to admit you are wrong on what any physics student learns very early.

Removing so much humidity along with the air conditioning will help you feel cooler, but if you make the air too dry, that can also cause adverse effects, such as dry throat, coughs and others.

 

Very true.

 

However, as for me, I would say that 30 percent relative humidity at a temperature of about 20 degrees seems about right.

 

Think of Nevada weather or Palm Springs in the most comfortable months.

Well yeah, all aircon experts you can find when googling are wrong, and you are the only one that is right, and the humidity meter in my bedroom is also lying.

 

Goodbye

Nights are cooler. 

 

It's been raining non-stop in Thailand for months.

 

During and after rain, humidity is north of 90%.

[KhunLA]

It's rainy season.   Can you get any more humid than 100%   It's 60-80% in dry season, and that's actually a good thing, for me.

 

Until the kid went to Uni, and we settled in PKK, now true retirement, I was always in constant change.  Now, no need for any changes, except the scenery ever couple weeks.  That's change enough for me.   

 

Finally have a base, I like returning to, instead of what I always considered 'temporary' location.  I ignore the writings on the walls, since don't respect the authors.   I prefer to write my own story

I suggest you study the operation of a reverse Carnot cycle, and forget about the so-called experts you are citing.

 

Some people are determined to stay stupid.

[novacova]

The weather in the north has been rather cool and pleasant lately.

Air conditioners do not spew water.

 

Air conditioners condense water on very cold coils, as you know.

 

The water then runs down the coils and is channeled outside where birds come to drink, if thirsty.

 

As to why this condensation occurs, i would not insult your intelligence by explaining this grade-six science.

let us just say that this might have something to do with .....

 

 

 

Phase changes are wondrous.....

 

And, let's dig even deeper.....

 

WHY is it that a phase change transition requires so much energy???

 

This is, as I said, gong from being a man to a transvestite does not require much energy.

But, fully transitioning from a transvestite to a full female requires MUCH energy and money.

 

You can apply this to the world of Chemistry, too.

Indeed, and you are a very good example of that. You are on most peoples ignore list under your multiple usernames, and I think there is a reason for that.

Show me a source, other than your own superior complex, that says aircons increase humidity if they are set a lower temperature than ambient temperature.

And I don't talk about the ridiculous claims of the OP that he runs at 18°C, because you can't get a room in Thailand down to that temperature

Hard to take of clothes that one is already not wearing.

Once you get down to bare naked, then not much more is available to come off.

 

I have two closets full of clothes.

They have been hanging in there for a long time, untouched.

 

When it snows in Chiang Mai, then this will be the day I have another look at them.

 

It's the humidity that I do not like.

 

50 percent relative humidity, at 22-degrees, and I am fine.

 

I prefer 30-percent, of course.

 

 

 

Both air purifiers are in the same room.

 

One side of the room is warmer than the other side of the room, just due to one side being closer to the outside wall.

 

So then....

 

WHY is the RH higher on the colder side of the room?

Why is the RH lower on the warmer side of the room?

 

This might be a question for some of the members who replied to this Topic...I think.....

They seem to have no clue....obviously....

Correction: I only have one user name. I couldn't care less about people who ignore me.

 

I run my aircons at 28 C. That's comfortable. As I said in another post, that removes about 15 litres of water in an afternoon.

 

Show me where I said aircons increase humidity if set at a lower temperature than ambient. That's nonsense, and gaslighting.

 

My chemistry degree has a mandatory physics component, including thermodynamics. What are your scientific qualifications?

 

I suppose one could get down to 18 C in Thailand with an aircon. Refrigerators get to 4 C. However, the electricity bill would be astronomical.

 

Perhaps you don't understand aircons, refrigerators and freezers all work on the same principle of heat transfer.

Haha...
I thought he said that I was the one who said this.

 

ACs, when operating properly, condense the water vapor present in the room, and then channel the condensate outside, through a pipe, obviously.

 

But, also, as the air in the room gets colder, the RH might not decrease much, even though water vapor is being removed.

 

The reason for this is OBVIOUS, of course.

 

I think some of these guys are confused by the difference between ...

 

Relative humidity and absolute humidity....

 

Or, maybe they are just confused, generally, as usual?

Let’s hope it cools back down a bit so you can get back in the jungle and stop posting tat on here. 🥴

Another troll comment. Freezers get down to -24 C, but they are not small enclosures, not 30 sqm rooms

Your imagining it, and Asean Now is feeding your paranoia but highlighting and promoting every post you write.
Lucky you, 'eh. If I write about nuclear war or environmental issues, my posts get buried.  I'm lucky to get a handful of views. You could write about the color and constancy of your poop 💩 and your post would immediately be placed in "Popular in the pub" and you'll have 1K views in a few hours.  You are the darling of AN along with all the various iterations of bob smith.

In fact, when you cool air, all things being equal, the relative humidity will rise, and not "drop", as you say.

Everybody knows this.

Well, I guess not...EVERYBODY....obviously....

Rest assured, I will be taking another 2-months break, beginning in about an hour....

So, please keep your socks on...til then...
