The temperature reached 51° in Jaisalmer, the cooling limit of AC is up to 52°, how is the cooling after that?

The temperature in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan reached 51 degrees yesterday. This desert city is in the grip of extreme heat these days. In such a situation, people have become dependent on air conditioners (AC), but one question is in everyone’s mind – AC is capable of cooling only up to 52 degrees, what will happen after that? What is the cooling limit of AC?

Most air conditioners work well up to an outdoor temperature of 50-52 degrees. When the temperature goes above this, the cooling capacity of the AC starts decreasing rapidly. The reason is that AC extracts the internal heat from the hot outside air and creates cold air. When the outside temperature reaches 51-52 degrees, the AC has to work very hard.

Result: It becomes very difficult to bring the room temperature below 28-30 degrees. AC keeps running continuously but there is less cooling. Electricity bills start touching the sky. AC heats up quickly and the risk of damage increases.

What can AC do in 51-52 degrees? According to experts, the efficiency of AC can reduce by 30-40% in temperatures above 50 degrees. If you have set the AC at 24 degrees, then the room will not be colder than 30-32 degrees.

In some cases, the AC will just keep blowing air but no coolness will be felt. What to do in such situation? Keep the temperature of AC at 26-28 degrees, avoid setting AC at 20-22 degrees, this will put less pressure on AC and will also save electricity. Get your AC serviced regularly – Get your AC properly serviced before and during summers. Dirty filters and blocked coils greatly reduce the performance of the AC.

Protect the house from heat – keep the curtains closed during the day, get white reflective paint done on the ceiling, do cross ventilation by opening the windows at night, also use a cooler (cool the room first and then run the AC), Benefits of Inverter AC – If you are buying a new AC, then take an AC with inverter technology. They perform better even in extreme heat.

Take care of your health – The risk of heat stroke, dehydration and fatigue increases significantly in temperatures above 50 degrees. Drink plenty of water, wear light colored loose clothes and avoid going out in the afternoon.

The 51 degree temperature in Jaisalmer is a warning that due to climate change the heat is now becoming even more dangerous. AC is our means of comfort, but after 52 degrees it also reaches its limit. By taking proper care, smart use and adopting measures to protect the house from heat, we can face this scorching heat.
