| penguin42 | the drop from 34c on Tue to 21 on Wed could be interesting | 11:58 |
|---|---|---|
| diddledani | penguin42: thunder storm weather, that sounds like | 13:01 |
| penguin42 | nod that energy has to go somewhere | 13:13 |
| * penguin42 needs to improvise a hose extension for his new aircon unit | 13:13 | |
| diddledani | you got aircon?! no fair! | 13:14 |
| diddledani | I've only got conair 😠| 13:14 |
| penguin42 | bought a cheapo floor standing one from CPC a couple of days ago when I saw the forecast | 13:15 |
| penguin42 | was about £300, which if that gets me to survive until Wednesday will be worth it | 13:16 |
| davef | penguin42: single or dual hose? | 13:26 |
| penguin42 | davef: Single | 13:28 |
| diddledani | dual hose in the uk are difficult to find IME | 13:28 |
| penguin42 | remind me what dual hose is? | 13:28 |
| diddledani | one intake and one outlet | 13:28 |
| davef | I had one of them, the only trouble which it is that it intakes air from the room, so warm air will be sucked in through any cracks you might have. | 13:28 |
| davef | It's one of them negative pressure kind of deals | 13:29 |
| davef | Dual hose intakes air from the outside, keeping pressure neutral. | 13:29 |
| davef | Single hose is fine for a single room | 13:30 |
| davef | I keep telling my parents to get an A/C unit, but they don't listen and continue to complain about the heat. | 13:32 |
| davef | Meanwhile, I'm nice and cool over here in my central air conditioned apartment :D | 13:33 |
| penguin42 | davef: Yeh, stopping the cold air going straight back into the hot air intake is probably the issue; as long as it passes some part of my body on the way that's fine | 13:34 |
| penguin42 | right, I have an extension that looks like something out of Apollo 13, but with more tape | 15:28 |
| zxmpi | what brand model if i may ask? | 15:29 |
| penguin42 | zxmpi: It's a CPC Pro-elec PELL0060 | 15:34 |
| penguin42 | zxmpi: It's downside seems to be that it doesn't have a removable water tank, so you have to drain it from an inconvenient valve at the bottom to ...something, | 15:35 |
| penguin42 | zxmpi: or there's a valve in the middle you can connect to a bucket, but they don't supply the tube | 15:36 |
| zxmpi | maybe a standard tubing you can get at same place you got aircon or another location? | 16:10 |
| penguin42 | indeed I assume it is | 17:52 |
| davef | probably 1/4" ... pretty common in them portable units | 18:06 |
| penguin42 | hmm it seems bigger, this is around 15-20mm | 20:37 |
