Comment on I've been using this simple trick to keep cool in the heat wave (UK)
EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 3 days agoThe air that is brought in from outside via the intake hose is the same air that is heated and then ejected through the exhaust hose.
In theory, it shouldn’t cause a change in pressure.

So no cold air is being blown into the house?

Outside air. If you are using AC, the intake probably isn’t cold. But: air in => heated up by the AC => sent out.
2 hoses in the window that connect to the back of the AC unit.

If it’s blowing cold air into the house, there has to be an equivalent volume of air leaving the house.

Air from room is cooled and that same air is blown back into the room after being cooled.
Air from outside is pulled into AC (does not go into room), gets the heat from the air in the room, then is blown out as exhaust.
