An inductor that does not depend upon a ferromagnetic material to achieve its specified inductance. This covers the cases where there really is just air inside as well as windings upon a different insulator such as bakelite, glass or PTFE etc.

  • Its inductance is unaffected by the current it carries. This contrasts with the situation with coils using ferromagnetic cores whose inductance tends to reach a peak at moderate field strengths before dropping towards zero as saturation approaches. Sometimes non-linearity in the magnetization curve can be tolerated; for example in switching converters. In circuits such as audio cross over networks in hi-fi speaker systems you must avoid distortion; then you need an air coil. Most radio transmitters rely on air coils to prevent the production of harmonics.
  • Air coils are also free of the 'iron losses' which affect ferromagnetic cores. As frequency is increased this advantage becomes progressively more important. You obtain better Q-factor, greater efficiency, greater power handling, and less distortion.
  • Lastly, air coils can be designed to perform at frequencies as high as 1 Ghz. Most ferromagnetic cores tend to be rather lossy above 100 MHz.

dehumidifier has a cooling coil and a heating coil. When air is passed through the coiling coil, moisture in the air condenses and drips in the bucket. Heating coil heats the air back to room temperature.

If the evaporator coil is clogged so almost no air passes through what will happen?

With no air flow through the coil the ability to cool a house will be diminished severely. The coil will also over cool itself and eventually ice up and stop all air flow. This could result in overheating the blower motor as it cannot move air through a blocked coil.

What is a coil on a central air unit?

A "coil" is a length of copper or aluminum tubing that has been wrapped or folded into a compact package. A refrigerant gas, such as Freon or ammonia, is pumped through the coil by the compressor. Air is blown past the turns of a coil to absorb or reject heat. There are two coils in an air conditioning unit, or any refrigeration unit, for that matter -- an evaporator coil inside (gets cold) and a condenser coil outside (gets hot).

Why the filter is kept in the left side of the air-conditioner where as the air blows in the right side?

We want to filter the air before it reaches any of the components of the a/c unit; especially the cooling coil. I that coil gets dirty, the dirt will restrict the air flow and reduce the cooling provided to the room. Additionally, if the cooling coil gets dirty and air flow is reduced, the coil tends to get too cold and ice up. Once it starts to ice up, all air flow stops. At this point the coil gets even colder; causing even more freezing.The filter is not there to keep the air we breath clean. It is there to keep the cooling coil free of dirt and consequently freely able to pass air. Lots of air passing across the coil cools the room and also keeps the the coil from freezing up.Regards.

When air passes through a cooling coil what is the effect on its moisture content?

definitely, when air passes thruogh a cooling coil then moisture content of the air is increase b'coz condensation take place...
