Re: [DML] Re: What temperature should AC be on normal setting?

["Martin Gutkowski" <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul is correct. If his explanation is unclear, take it to the extreme. Turn the air flow down to zero. Is it still transferring all that energy? No. HOWEVER, is there a point when increasing speed beyond which it makes a negligible difference? Yes. Turn it down a bit from there and it will make a negligible difference too.

For a fixed heat exchange (12,000btu from my reply) the airspeed does 
not make a difference.
