Efficient room A/C info request [RE-wrenches]

[James Lamb, Middle Fork Engineering]

I checked out a Kenmore 11.2 seer window 5,800 btu AC Unit and its themostat
is electronic and accurate.
You can set the temp you want and it has a digital display which cycles the
Unit. It has an energy consevation mode as well 
It is not too noisy and comes with a remote control.
I do not know what its Phantom loads are but it is very low.
It was installed in a 2nd story bedroom and performed well.  
Check it out in the energy star rating

Great for the computers (and rather affordable compared to most large UPS's
BTW.)


Traditional arrangement in the telco industry is to use inverters for what
electronics you can't run off -48 and feed the A/C directly from the ATS,
usually at 480-3Ø or at least 240V to reduce switching and cabling costs.
Losing A/C for a minute or two while the genset starts and stabilizes isn't
usually much of an issue.
