As a result of increasing environmental temperature, use air conditioner (AC) has become very popular specially in the urban areas mostly during warmer months year. Exposure to cold, dry AC on regular basis can cause various alternations lung functions users which lead many future diseases. These be influenced by temperature at is regulated. This cross-sectional study was conducted observe effe...

The objective of this project is to investigate an energy efficient air conditioner to be able to compete with conventional vapour compression systems. Liquid desiccant air dehumidifier/indirect evaporative cooling using cross-flow type Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) as dehumidifier offers a cost effective and more environmentally friendly air conditioning system. It removes moisture form the air a...

We present a multichannel speech enhancement method based on MAP speech spectral magnitude estimation using a generalized gamma model of speech prior distribution, where the model parameters are adapted from actual noisy speech in a frame-by-frame manner. The utilization of a more general prior distribution with its online adaptive estimation is shown to be effective for speech spectral estimat...

Replacing R-22 by HFC refrigerants in stationary air conditioners is forcing oil producers to develop a new lubricant which has good miscibility with HFC, lubricity and electric resistivity. Mitsui has selected a carbonate compound for a new lubricant candidate with HFC and developed it forcusing on its thermal stability, which is one of the most important factors to get good lubricity. By supp...

Air conditioning may affect human health since it has profound effect on our environment, than just lowering temperature. The present study was planned to assess the effect of air conditioners (AC) on pulmonary functions in young healthy non-smoker males. The study group comprised of ten subjects who were using AC's in their cars for at least 1 hr daily since last 6 months. While ten subjects w...
