even got a 40 amp contactor w/ 12 volt coil and hooked it u
Te he he he.
I did this with my 10,500 BTU/hr (purposely undersied) Freidrich brand wall A/C in my aparmtent also to get the room to be comfortable. I dotn care what the incimong air temp is on the coil I want my room to be XX*F damn it!
In my case I just used a (hydronic/hot-water heating) circulator relay. These produce 24v to shoot out to a low-voltage thermostat to control a 110v pump.
Low voltage thermostats are used because they are generally accurate to a 0.5*F (0.25*C) temperature swing; whereas line-voltage ones are accurate to about a 2*F swing (1*C swing)
The comfort level was GREAT!
Today however I believe the remote controls for A/C's now have thermistor/thermometers/thermostats in them so they actually DO sense room air temps!
