There might be more than aesthetic appeal to consider when choosing a new color to paint your walls. Whether it’s your bedroom, kitchen or sitting room, if you’re going to be spending considerable time in a room then you should be aware of its potential effects on your mood. Psychologically, certain colors have a tendency to make us feel certain ways — and in addition to the look, it is important to consider the feel of your home as well.

Red

Traditionally, red is all about energy. Used as the focal point in bullfights and archery targets, red creates excitement and stimulation. In a kitchen or living room, a red accent wall can generate conversation and add a sizzle to the atmosphere. It might be best to avoid it in rooms where you want to unwind, such as bedrooms and studies.

Yellow

Yellow is all about sunshine! Perfect for kitchens and bathrooms, it can create energy and a happy aura. The key with yellow is to remember that less is more — too much of this bright color can be overwhelming and create feelings of frustration and anxiety.

Blue

If you need to unwind after spending time in a yellow room, head for the nearest blue wall. Lowering blood pressure and slowing your heart rate, blue is considered the most calming and relaxing of all wall-color choices. The most important factor in painting a blue room is to be careful with the hue — the room will seem cold if the blue is too bright, and can evoke feelings of sadness if it is too dark.

Green

Perhaps because it is reminiscent of nature, green is considered refreshing, restful and stress-relieving. From sage to forest green, green has a reputation for being soothing and helping people unwind. Out of all the colors, you can feel safe effectively using green paint in any room.

Purple

Historically associated with royalty, purple walls can add a rich and sophisticated tone to your home. It is also useful as a smaller accent color, adding depth to a room while putting a twist on black hues traditionally used for this purpose.

If your car’s air conditioner isn’t working, it could be for any number of reasons. Before you take your car to a repair technician, there are a few things you can easily check on your own, and hopefully fix the problem without having to pay someone else. One likely cause of a non-working air conditioner is a leak in the system. Many auto-supply stores carry a fluorescent dye that can be used to check for leaks without harming your system, so you don’t have to take the whole thing apart, check for leaks, and then attempt to put it back together again. If there is a bad leak, your system will have no pressure at all. Locate the low-side valve and use a gauge to check the PSI level.

Please keep in mind that checking your car’s refrigerant by poking something into the valve and then looking for leaks is illegal because it has the potential of leaking refrigerant into the atmosphere. Additionally, it is also illegal to put refrigerant into a system that has a known leak, because again it allows refrigerant to leak into the atmosphere. For this reason, if you are running low on refrigerant, you will probably have a hard time finding a repairman that will simply top you off without first checking for leaks.

Your car’s Air Conditioner is basically a refrigerator but with a strange layout. It is designed to take the hot air from inside your car and release it outside. Its main parts include a compressor to compress and circulate refrigerant, refrigerant to absorb hot air, a condenser to change the refrigerant from gas to liquid, an expansion valve to drop the pressure of the refrigerant liquid, and an evaporator to take the heat absorbed by the refrigerant and carry it outside your vehicle.

The basic idea behind any air conditioner is evaporation. When a liquid evaporates it feels cool; this can be demonstrated by applying rubbing alcohol to one’s skin. As the rubbing alcohol evaporates, you can feel its cooling effects on your skin. The refrigerant in your car is very similar to rubbing alcohol, but it evaporates at a very low temperature.

When the compressor puts the refrigerant under pressure, it begins to get very hot and is sent to the condenser coils (generally located in front of the radiator) where air from outside your car blows across it and cools it into a liquid.  The now liquid refrigerant is then taken through the expansion valve to the evaporator where it loses the pressure that the compressor had previously added and some of the liquid is changed to gas as it cools. At this point, the liquid evaporates and like the rubbing alcohol on your skin, it makes the evaporator coils very cold. A fan then blows air across the coils and that air is what cools your car down. As it evaporates, the liquid turns back into a gas and is sent to the compressor to start the process all over again.
