The ice compartment probably just ran out. You just need to open it and fill it up with ice.

You're thinking of r22 no longer being produced and highly regulated, and most ACs now using r410a.

No, they use mini splits.

No, I thought window unit was the kind you put on the window like pic.
The common unit for housing is the split, and actually no windows are involved.
Central units are common only in offices.

I know in some parts of Eastern Europe and in China they have those ugly boxes next to the windows in their commieblocks. Maybe that's what you call a mini split?

mini split is this: there's a "window" unit but instead of going through the window/wall, only the tubes goes through it and into the fan inside

>>69306879
They make ACs that look like big window units, but they are made to go through a wall. They run on 220 VAC.
There's also PTACs, like what you find in big chain hotels.

Also, to the anon with the busted AC: if you can find it, check the capacitor.

Still not as hot as a sauna. Medium temperature for a good sauna is 100-100 degrees celsius

>>69307201
Yup. They're commonly also heat pumps (AC, but reversible) like this >>69307082

>>69307160
Geothermal is too expensive. A decent air-air one is like 700 euros.

>>69307265
What are your lowest winter outdoor temps?

>>69307201
yes. basically the window/wall AC is 1 whole unit, whereas the mini split are 2 different ones (one outside and one inside connected through pipes and stuff)

>ugly boxes next to the windows
They are external units, and they may be next to windows just because they are usually on the outer wall and there are windows there too, they have nothing to do with windows.
There is also an internal unit for one room connected to it, at best two internal units.
They are pretty common even in western europe and japan.

>>69305754
AC does not stand for 'annexed Crimea'.

>>69307331
They don't have to be right next to the unit tho, mine's are on the roof so all there is to see is some discreet piping on the side of the house, that's a shit installation.

>There's also PTACs, like what you find in big chain hotels.
Now that you mentioned hotels. I always wondered. I've stayed at all kinds of hotels and it is always a hit or miss. Some cheaper motels like Super 8 have an "indoor unit" whatever you call it, with controls on it, is that a split system? They are horrible and noisy as fuck. Better chains like Mariott have what I believe is some kind of central air, meaning there is a wall-mount thermostat etc. However it sounds like the blower is just behind the wall, so also noisy as fuck. Shit. It is never as comfy as home.

>>69307301
Where I live is like around zero degrees, rarely drops to -10. But in different places of Bulgaria it drops to -25. Most brands like Daikin/Fujutsu/Mitsubishi still work without any issues altghouh they are not recommended under -15. The geothermal is great, but it costs like 5-6k euros and most people live in commie blocks. Even a multi split would be hard to be installed.

>>69307202
You aren't wearing clothes, shoes etc in a sauna either and you can get out whenever you want.
There's no escaping 95+ heat and humidity without air conditioning.

>>69307514
Yeah, there are even covers for the lines, kinda like the ones for indoor wiring.
>>69307559
>Super 8
Box under the window, but goes through the wall?
PTAC
>wall thermostat
There are likely heated and chilled water coils supplied by a central plant, and each room has its own blower. The thermostat controls valves or pumps for the coils, and it switches the blower on.
>>69307561
Well, that all makes sense.

>
Are there any other countries that use evaporative coolers?

>>69304512
Humidity

>>69307014
about 3-5K just to replace the outdoor unit (the compressor) and the matching indoor coil. furnace is probably about the same if you need heating. so, to install the whole system from scratch... complete with the duct lines.... no idea. 20K? 30K? but more importantly, it is pointless trying to retrofit it into an existing house/apartment. just buy a house with central air.

>>69305344
you need a new capacitor for the condensor pump

>>69308062
Installing central air in an existing structure without existing ducting is usually pretty impractical. That said, I'm happy that it will be easy to do in my house.

>>69308203
If it's a window unit, it makes more sense to just get a new one.

>>69306978

but he needs it today, so he would have to make his own capacitor. if it is, say, below 0.1uF at 110V , he can build a beer bottle capacitor

>>69309040

No, no basement doesn't mean furnace goes in the attic. In my house it is next to the laundry room (a small area with the water heater tank, water softener and a furnace). Pretty common around here.
