WOOD'S FOR CLEAN AND HEALTHY
INDOOR AIR
The brand Wood's was born with the
Wood's family over 65 years ago in the
Canadian city of Guelph, Ontario. This
is where Wood's began developing and
manufactoring dehumidifiers in 1950. Since
then Wood's has helped several hundred
thousand households to prevent damages
from mould damp, and to breathe
cleaner air. Our portable air conditioners
are suitable for use in most climates,
where capacity is good even at different
temperatures and humidity levels. They
are used with good results in premises that
become hot such as livingrooms, offices
or bedrooms. The amount of hot air that
the air conditioner removes depends
on the temperature, humidity level and
placement. External weather conditions
may also affect the performance of the air
conditioner.
Wood's air conditioners are safe in
operation and intended for continuous use
over many years.
HOW DOES THE AIR CONDITIONING
UNIT WORK?
Low pressure gives cold air
The main element of the air conditioner
is a coolant, which under low pressure is
converted to gas. The process "creates
cold", which is transmitted inward, while
keeping the warm air out.
A liquid coolant is passed through an
expansion valve and into a pipe where the
pressure is low.
The coolant evaporates and turns into a
gas. The process absorbs heat from the
surroundings and the pipe is cooled.
A fan blows the cold air into the room.
The gas is passed through a compressor,
which increases the pressure and converts
the gas into liquid.
In this process, heat is released, which
is led to pipes on the opposite side and
blown out by a fan.
A thermostat shuts off the unit when the
indoor air is cold enough.
