The Problem

Inside the air conditioner (AC) system, there is air turbulence between the airflow from the fan and the insulator, a plastic panel, which continually produces positive static electricity that causes the AC and the surrounding air to acquire a positive electrostatic charge.

As a result, air turbulence is generated between the airflow and the AC’s evaporator fins due to their identical positive charge. This reduces the contact area between the air and the AC’s evaporator fins which adversely impacts the AC’s heat exchange efficiency. This results in the AC system having to work harder and use more energy.
