>and rain do you even have it in Israel?

>>11029 Sometimes, specially near winter.

why don't the other jews climb up and steal them?

Isn't that the normal way to install them? In Japan, I saw many air conditioners installed like this. t. Bernd from a country that is against these things for some reason

>Doesn't exposing the air conditioner the whole day, uncovered, to the sun and rain, shorten its use life? It's covered, the control card, the compressor, the evaporator and the fan are covered in shielding. They're designed to work outside, of course theoretically it would work for longer if it was covered. Reality is, it hardly matters, if you built it a, let's say, tin cover the extra lifespan wouldn't be worth the cost of the materials and instalation, plus, I don't know about there, but here, I assure you you'd get a couple pigeon nests >The air conditioner seems to me like an expensive object Not really, a couple hundred dollars every 5 to 10 years. What's expensive about them is the energy they use

Huh? I didn't think Israel was a third world country but it looks like one from those images.

>>11114 When the air conditioner gets hot from sun exposure, doesn't this make it less efficient at cooling?

>>11143 It probably does, but not by much. Most of the energy that's transported is latent heat.

what is this?

>>11143 >>11144 It doesn't only make it less efficient, when the outside temperature gets too high it doesn't work at all anymore because the radiator is incapable of transfering all the heat to the air. The maximum temperature these devices can generate at the radiator is around 50 degrees Celsius The closer the outside temperature gets to that value, the less heat is transferred. Most air conditioning units are therefore only specified for 45 degrees Celsius/115 degrees Fahrenheit outside (they need the 5 degree delta). Putting air conditioning units directly into the sunlight is therefore very stupid because it makes them not work properly at exactly the point you need them the most. Source: Bernd had to navigate a 2 Megawatt data center with compression coolers through a 40+ degree heatwave three years ago. About half a Megawatt of cooling power broke down one day due to overload, we had to start sprinkling water over the radiators for three days to put additional evaporation cooling into the equation.

>>11169 I have no idea Bernd. Probably some modernist tier brise de Soleil or even vents for air circulation in a bathroom.

>>11169 electronic noses to sniff up all the money

Damn, buildings in Israel look like some third world country.

Here in Japan they cover them with reflective foils (simiar kind you put on your car's windshield in the summer) to protect them from rain and sunlight. Some even have their own little awnings.

>>11211 do they cover them in hello kitties too?
