[tech] Aircon

[bob at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au]

Hi All,

It looks like kalimari is unhappy - it's only putting out hot air. When 
this happened with the last kelvinator aircon, the compressor was dead and 
we were up for a new aircon. It's possible that it just needs pulling 
apart and cleaning (it has ice-up protection, and the sensor may just be 
full of crap). 

We have one of these:

 ...though given this one only lasted 3 years, I'm not sure we should go 
for another that's the same.

For now we have the aircon in fan-only mode, and the machine room is 
getting hot, but coping.
