Cold air is streaming out of the water pump that is connected to our air conditioner condenser.?
Q. Our compressor is outside and our condenser is in the basement. The condensation water has a pump attached to it that pumps the water to the outside where it drains. There is an additional pipe coming off of the pump that has cold air blowing out of it when the air conditioner is on. I'm guessing that it is an emergency overflow valve, but is it normal for cold air to be streaming out of this? It seems like we are losing a lot of nice cold air into our basement!

A. The drain pipe going in to the condensate pump is supposed to have a trap on it to prevent air leaving the blower area through the drain. I am guessing you don't have one. I have never seen a second pipe like that. I would guess it was added to fix the fact the blowing air was spilling out water from the pump. They treated the symptom not the cause. And it could be even if a trap is there the backpressure in the ductwork is high enough to still blow air through the trap. That is a bigger problem to deal with other than making sure all your vents are open. Good Luck.

How can you keep cold air from coming in a kitchen exhaust?
Q. I have a Jenn-Air downdraft cooktop and cold air comes in the exhaust and through the vent. Although I keep a towel over the vent indoors when I am not using it, the cooktop itself is very cold as is the ductwork inside the cabinet. Was this installed properly? What is supposed to keep cold air out when you are not using the vent?

A. There is supposed to be a flapper inside the exhaust vent hood to prevent air from coming back through the ductwork into the house. This flapper must be missing or non-existent on your vent.

How do you stop cold air from attic vents from allowing cold air into the living area?
Q. I have a continious ridge vent, soffit vents, and gable vents in the attic. The thing is with this house, the walls are not insulated. There is also a breathing space that runs from the attic to the basement on all sides. My fear is that cold air can come through the walls or electricial outlets when my natural gas furnace sucks air. I wonder if I could block the breathing space that runs from the attic to the basement in the winter?

Previous owner of my car put in a cold air intake system. Where is it supposed to go?
Q. Did he put it in wrong? I read from another Yahoo Answer that people will sometimes do anything to get a cold air intake system under their hood, including putting the end of it, where the air filter is, in the wheel well. That's exactly where it is. And it's really hard to get at that thing (cuz I think it's about time to change the air filter). I asked a question about which is better for performance: cold air intake or ram air. The two people that answered said that cold air intake systems can get water in them which is a big negative but the colder the air the better. All in all, though, they said that ram air is better becuz you get more air in and no water. How does water not get in if you have a ram air hood? What if it's raining?… [cont.]

A. Cold air is more dense. When the engine fires it heats the mass in the chamber. The greater mass in the chamber, the more force generated by the engine. Cold air intakes are typically installed near where the original air intake was. The intake should be shielded from the engine, exhaust header, and radiator. While doing that you want it to be fed directly from a high pressure region of the vehicle. High pressure regions include just above or below the front bumper, the base of the windshield, and in front any hood protrusion. Having the intake in the wheel well is not a problem, as long as their is a clear path of "clean", or high pressure, air. If it is taking air from the wheel well, that could be problematic due to the air… [cont.]

A. They are two different things. The Air ram is a air scoop that forces air into the intake at high speed. the cold air intake is, as the name implies, an air filter located in an area that pull air from outside the hood, which is cooler than the one inside a hood.

A. It depends on what you are treating. If you are wanting to help thin the secretions, a warm humidifier is better. It increases the relative humidity in the air better than a cool mist. The warm air is able to hold more water molecules thereby adding greater water content into the air. When using warm humidification, cleaniness becomes an issue. Warm moist areas are breeding grounds for bacteria, so make sure you follow the cleaning instructions. If the child is suffering from inflammation, than a cool mist may be better. It won't humidify as well but it may help soothe irritated tissues to some degree. . Realize that neither option will work as well as the humidifiers in the hospital.

A. You have a leak in the duct work. Start where the duct work hooks to the air handler and start looking for leaks. In fact, do what ever you can to check out the ducts in the entire system. Including any ducts in th attic or basement. Make sure you check any joint, including where the duct hooks to the vents. Repair any leaks you find. Congratulations! You may have just found a very cheap and easy method of making a major cut in your AC bill.

How to get stagnate hot air moving out of the room and cold air in?
Q. I live in residence and have a computer, a small refrigerator and freezer. I lived here last year and it wasn't too bad. This year though when I moved back in, my room has been hot even when the outside temperature is lower. My blinds are closed during the day and at night I open the window but I can't get any air in which has never happened. I found a way to keep cool during the night and morning by closing the door and blowing a fan at the window (~1 meter away) which gets cold air rushing into my room. But like I said this never happened before and when it was a cold morning (As always), my room was at least 14 celsius higher which doesn't make sense (Once I turned off the fan). I just don't want to keep having the fan on all the time… [cont.]

A. "circulation." You best described it yourself with the word "stagnate". Your air is stale and needs to be constantly replenished. Without an air conditioner there are pretty much only two things you can do... 1) entrap as much cold, morning air as you can by opening all windows and doors (if possible) so that your apartment is as close to the outside temperature as possible. 2) around 8-9 a.m. when it starts warming up outside, close the doors and windows and keep the fan on to keep the air circulating. NOTE: your apartment will eventually, slowly, heat up to match the outside temperature, no matter what you do. Circulating the air with the fan will keep it as cool as can be made possible because "moving air is cooler air".

Q. I have a 1990 camaro w/ carbureted chevy 350 and was wondering if i can fit a cold air intake on it?I only have about 2-3inches of clearance from the top of the carb to the hood. If so would i gain any power rather than having the 8in open air filter just siting on top of the carb? If so where could I buy one?

A. K&N makes a cold air intake for almost every vehical made (american) I am posative that they have one for your camaro. O'Reilly Auto Parts will order one for you. Will run between $180 - $275.

How do I stop cold air from coming in the front foyer?
Q. We had our house resided and they put a new front door on. Ever since, the door doesn't close right (you have to lift up on it to close it) and the front foyer is ALWAYS cold. It seems like it's letting the cold air in. Can I buy some kind of insulation to go around the door to stop the draft from coming in? BTW, the draft is not only coming in the bottom of the door, it's all around the door.

A. Research insulation strips as their are foam and plastic v shaped ones. I like to use a combination of both. Take a look at the hinges and see if you need a small spacer to lift it up. You just pull up the door and add the spacer to the post that slides into the hinge. Otherwise the hinges may not be placed in the right position. Should have screwed in a little higher. For added savings during summer I hang a decorative curtain rod above my door and hand a heavy curtain or drape that touches the floor. This worked great for me while living overseas. Got the idea from an old Audrey Hepburn Movie. Everyone loved it too.

What will a cold air intake do for my Xterra?
Q. I have a 2000 Nissan Xterra and it crawls away from lights. How much would installing a cold air intake do? Is it even worth it since it's not a fast car already? I want to actually move when I accelerate.

A. It should be doing better than "crawling" from lights as is. But the cold air intake will not change things much. Either you are expecting too much or there is something else wrong.
