I was surfing the internet trying to find the solution to cool down my home during the hot day. I can't bear the heat and the situation was getting worse as my air conditioner was not functioning properly. There was a minor leakage at the end of the gas tube which caused the cooling gas to escape.
I found a lot of suggestions on the method to cool down the house during a hot day on the internet which then come to a very simple conclusion on the principle of cooling the house which is physics; more specific on thermodynamics.
Based on the principle of thermodynamics, heat flows from the high temperature region to a lower temperature region; which means that cool air in a confined space will eventually gets warmer over time. Therefore, in order to cool the house, the air must keep moving in and out. Just like the principle of operation of an air conditioner; in order to cool the air, the air must flow passing the flow of the refrigerant. When the air or the refrigerant stop, the cooling effect will reduce.
The most important fact is to keep the air moving in and out. Remember, hot air will go up and cooler air will go down. In order to cool down the house, we must get rid of the hot air and allow the cool air to get in. Cool air will get warm over time in a confined space.
So, the key is KEEP THE AIR MOVING. Open the lowest window on one side of the house to allow cool air in and the highest window on the other end of the house to allow hot air to escape. Putting a fan to aid the air flow will help to get rid of the hot air. Hence we save on air conditioner electricity consumption and additionally we save our environment.
