Bit of a Dust-Up
Jul. 30th, 2018 03:49 pmA couple of days ago, Lisa went up on the roof of the travel trailer to examine the air conditioning unit in preparation for the attempted recharge once all of the parts and coolant arrive.
( Learn Why the Shelter is So Tall )
After cleaning all of the dust out of the AC, it ran much better and stopped blowing the circuit breaker. It can keep the trailer habitable, but it still isn't putting out full cool. However, assuming the unit continues to behave reasonably, Lisa is now thinking of waiting until we get back from Worldcon before attempting the recharge.
None of this work would be possible without the shelter because weather has had highs close to 40°C here even in the shade, and in the direct sun it would be much worse. Also, the shade of the shelter means that what cooling the AC can do is about sufficient to get by until more can be done.
