BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Air conditioning is the process of altering the condition
of air by removing heat and humidity to achieve a more comfortable
interior environments, typically with the aim of distributing the
conditioned air to an occupied space such as a building or a vehicle to
improve thermal comfort and indoor air quality.
In common use, an air conditioner is a device that removes heat from
the air inside a building or vehicle, thus lowering the air temperature.
The cooling is typically achieved through a refrigeration cycle, but
sometimes evaporation or free cooling is used.
Conversely, air conditioning (including filtration, humidification, cooling
and disinfection) can be used to provide a clean,
safe, hypoallergenic atmosphere in hospital operating rooms and other
environments where proper atmosphere is critical to patient safety and
well-being. Excessive air conditioning can have a negative effect on
skin, causing it to dry out, and can also cause dehydration.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Specifically, it seeks answers to the following questions:
1. How can a built-in air conditioner out of ice dispenser help
you save electricity?
2. Does having a built-in air conditioner out of ice dispenser
helps in recycling?

Hypothesis
1. Null Hypothesis: A built-in air conditioner out of ice dispenser
cannot help you to recycle and save electricity.
2. Alternative Hypothesis: A built-in air conditioner out of ice
dispenser can help you to recycle and save electricity.

Significance of the Study
This study aims to provide a built-in air conditioner out of ice
dispenser. This study is beneficial for everyone who wants to save
electricity and have a calm and cold environment, this can
encourage everyone to recycle which helps the nature.

Scope and Limitations
This study will mainly focus on the benefits of a built in air
conditioner out of ice dispenser wherein we used tube ice and mini
desk fan for an alternative source of cool air of an air conditioner.

Definition of Terms
Air Conditioning - a system for controlling the humidity,
ventilation, and temperature in a building or vehicle, typically to
maintain a cool atmosphere in warm conditions.
Dehydration - condition caused by the excessive loss of water
from the body, which causes a rise in blood sodium levels.
Humidity - is the amount of water vapor in the air.
Hypoallergenic - is used to describe items that cause or are
claimed to cause fewer allergic reactions.
Thermal Comfort - is the condition of mind that expresses
satisfaction with the thermal environment.

Review of Related Literature and Studies
Local. Mark Schnubel (2008) When mobile air conditioning
was first introduced, it was considered a luxury. Its usefulness,
however, has made it a necessity. As a matter of fact, if a vehicle
6
is not equipped with air conditioning, its value is dramatically
reduced on the resale market.
Foreign. Billy Langley (2000) There are basically two reasons for
the use of an air conditioning system. The first is to improve some
industrial or manufacturing process, and the second is to provide
human comfort. The indoor conditions required are determined by the
need and the desire of the occupants or the process. Thus, for human
comfort applications, an understanding of the required body functions
is fundamental to a proper understanding of air conditioning.
Human comfort depends on the rate at which the body loses heat. The
human body is a heat machine that uses food as its fuel. The food that
we eat contains the components carbon and hydrogen. The energy in
these components is released by oxidation of the food. When we
breathe in air, the oxygen that is taken from the air is necessary for the
oxidation of the food. When we consider the products of combustion
that occur in a gas flame, we know that the products of combustion
(oxidation) are carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Local. David Chadderton (2014) As the worlds population
develop their economies, the need for air conditioning will
increase, along with its attendant power demand. Those who
think fossil fuel atmospheric emissions, have to come to terms
with economic development around the world by those who do
not now have air conditioning, food refrigeration, TV and smart
phones. Make up your own mind about how the world can
develop and be sustainable into future generations.

The extent of the cooling season determines energy use and
running costs for air conditioning. Tropical regions have a cooling
season that lasts all through the year, with no winter as
compared with Europe. Many tropical regions have few periods of
clear blue sky and bright sunlit conditions. Peak summer has the
sun directly overhead and this coincides with the wet or monsoon
season. Variations in monthly design conditions can be minor with
year round cooling and dehumidification plant loads producing
consistently high energy usage and power demand.
Foreign. MJ Lendell (2004) An explanation is that ventilation
systems in buildings, especially those with AC systems or
8
humidification systems, disseminate contaminants into the indoor air.
What these contaminants might be, and through what biological
response mechanisms they cause a constellation of non-specific
symptoms, is not yet clear.
A more likely explanation is that the moisture in AC and humidification
systems results in microbiological exposures that cause health effects
through mechanisms that are irritant, toxic, or allergic.

Methodology
Materials
Water Jug
Mini desk fan
Tube Ice
Plastic Bottles (or tube)
Basin
Water Faucet (optional)
Procedure
1. Prepare the ice dispenser.
2. Cut a hole on top of the ice dispenser that will fit the mini desk
fan.
3. Cut 3 holes on the body for the water faucet, and plastic bottles.
4. Cut the bottom part of the bottle and place it on the hole.
5. You can put a water faucet as an efficient water drainer.

Results and Discussion
Table 1
Duration of observation Effect
20 minutes Approximately 1/8 of water has

melted off the ice.
40 minutes Approximately 1/2 of water has
melted off the ice.
60 minutes The ice has completely melted.
This table shows that how long could a block of ice would melt in
one hour.

Table 2
Duration of observation Effect
20 minutes The air is still cool and the

approximate measurement of
the temperature is 43F
This table shows that how long the cool air would last in one hour.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Conclusion
The researchers therefore conclude that a built in air conditioner is
effective and can be used as a cooler rather than using the traditional
air conditioner people are using nowadays.
Recommendation
The researchers recommend to use a built in air conditioner to
people who want to save electricity. It is also a better alternative
because there is no need to buy anything, the materials are all found
inside the household and can be the solution to a very hot day.
