Why AC Temperature Not Go below 16 Degrees

The scorching heat continues to wreak havoc in North India, and there is no hope of relief from the heat for some time to come. Red alert has been issued by the Meteorological Department. In this season, leave aside the fan, even the cooler has failed. The outside temperature is being recorded from 48 to 50, in such a situation the AC is not working even at 16 degree temperature, I want to reduce the temperature further but unfortunately the temperature of AC stops at 16 degree only.

There is a top temperature of 30 degrees AC and a bottom temperature of 16 degrees AC, neither can it go above that nor can it go below that, no matter which type of AC you buy, the same system will be available in all of them. But have you ever tried to understand why its needle gets stuck at 16 and 30 only? Is there any reason behind this? Let us know in detail in this article.

Why does the AC temperature not go below 16 degrees and above 30 degrees?


First of all, let us know why the temperature of AC does not go below 16? So the answer is that it is a type of technology of AC. Actually, there is an evaporator in AC which cools with the help of coolant. Only when this coolant cools down, you get cool air from the AC. If the temperature is set below 16 degrees, ice will start forming on the evaporator and it will completely break down. Now you might be thinking that ice freezes at zero degree, then let us tell you that the first step of ice freezing is 16 degrees. Therefore, if the temperature of your AC goes below 16, it means your AC is damaged.

Now let us know why the temperature of AC does not go above 30 degrees? You must have noticed that the weather remains cool when the temperature remains below 30 degrees, so it is easy to understand that if the temperature of the AC starts going above 30 degrees, then the AC will not provide cool air. Air conditioners are designed to cool air. Therefore there is no system to go above 30.
