The cooling efficiency will decrease if the system is not designed to cope with these harsh conditions, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially critical for buildings in urban areas where heatwaves are becoming more frequent in length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the ambient temperature is high, the cooling performance of a high-power air conditioner is more stable, and the cooling performance will not be significantly affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.haierindia.com\/products\/Desert-Rose\/Haier-1.55-Ton-(~-1.7)-Desert-Rose-Series-Heavy-Duty-AI-Smart-AC,-5.46KW\/2414\">Haier 1.7 Ton 5 Star Desert Rose Series Heavy Duty AI Smart AC (HSA20DSD-NAI5NB-I)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.haierindia.com\/products\/Desert-Rose\/Haier-1.55-Ton-(~-1.7)-Gold-Decco-Desert-Rose-Series-Heavy-Duty-AI-Smart-AC,-5.46KW\/2415\">Haier 1.7 Ton 5 Star Gold&nbsp; Desert Rose Series Heavy Duty AI Smart AC (HSA20DSD-GAI5NB-I)<\/a> are designed to continue cooling even at ambient temperatures of up to 60\u00b0C, supported by specialised protective technologies including Hyper PCB and conformal coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Humidity Changes Comfort More Than Temperature<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever come across a room that feels uncomfortable even if the thermostat reads 24\u00b0C?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s typically due to humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The air in the room is more humid than the room temperature, and the human body feels warmer.
