<DIV>GEnerally not a good idea. All you’re ding spraying mineral filled
</DIV>
<DIV>water on the coil, which when the water dries, leaves behind a </DIV>
<DIV>mineral (scale) build up. Scale is one of the best insulators and
</DIV>
<DIV>will do nothing but inhibit the cooling. If you say, but we have
</DIV>
<DIV>very soft water (i.e. little or no minerals), while that may be true,
</DIV>
<DIV>then you have a low pH water (acidic) and the coil fins will be soon </DIV>
<DIV>eaten away. No win, either way.</DIV>
<DIV>The best thing you can do is make absolutely sure that coils in your </DIV>
<DIV>system are CLEAN. Remove all dirt, fuzzies, leaves, obstructions,
etc.</DIV>
<DIV>that can and will restrict the designed cooling.</DIV>
<DIV>Good luck.</DIV>

got a window mounted A/C in my garage. It generally does a pretty good job of
cooling it down but now that the daily high is over 100 (f) it is having a
problem and is tripping the breaker after running a hour or so in mid afternoon
( unit gets full sun).<BR><BR>Question: would installing a fine water mist
sprayer behind the evaporator coil easy the load on the compressor thus allowing
it to continue to cool?<BR>For the few weeks I have this problem it is not worth
the cost of wiring and installing a larger unit.<BR>Thanks for any
thoughts<BR><BR>Bob Nogueira
