How effective is the AC
The AC is best suited for small rooms. It has been tested in a room and it dropped the temperature by seven degree Celsius.
“Since it is a low budget AC, it is fit for use in hostel rooms. We have only tested its cooling in a 4x4 room size. It gives a temperature drop of 7 degree Celsius on a hot day,” said Malik.

She said that the AC can be used in areas with low voltage and it can beat the industrial “Cost wise and usage wise, it can give the industrial ACs a tough competition and can be used in areas which have a low voltage supply,” she said.
How eco-friendly is the AC
The AC works on brine and it isn’t a coolant, which comes under the chemical category. It can be recycled, so no more CFCs. Besides, it does not lead to unwanted humidity in the air nor does it over dry the air on cooling.
