Temperature Control-ACs (Window)

The temperature control controls the temperature to the desired level. Digital controls are easier to use and more accurate. The temperature can be controlled through different settings e.g. high, low etc. The temperature control can either be digital or manual. Manual controls are in the form of knobs which must be rotated to change the temperature, i.e. you need to estimate the required temperature level based on the thermostat levels provided with the window air conditioner. The thermostat is a temperature sensor which senses the temperature in the air. For example, the standard temperature (normally) is 21 degrees centigrade. As soon as it reaches above 21, the compressor starts working and if below 20, it stops, thus maintaining the temperature of the room at about 21 degrees centigrade.
