A 1999 Whirlpool ACQ142XH0 14,000 BTU 120v air conditioner installed in the garage. It works very well for the space, providing powerful cooling and dehumidification. The unit features a Matsushita rotary compressor with R22 refrigerant. According to the data tag, it's allowed to draw up to 12 amps, which is the maximum allowed on a 15A 120v circuit. The hottest day I've tested it during thus far was 93 degrees, where it was drawing about 11.6 amps. 14K of cooling is a lot of power to cram into a 15 amp circuit, this machine is quite efficient.
This machine was found locally and was in absolutely abysmal condition. There was more mold in this unit than any other I've worked on. There was 0 air flow through the condenser, causing the unit to draw over 15 amps. The evaporator coil was almost completely bent over with very little air flow.
It took quite a few hours to clean out all the mold and dust in this unit, as well as recover operation of the evaporator coil. I was not able to restore the entire thing as some parts were too damaged, but at least 3/4 of the coil is working again. Despite the reduced air flow in some spots, it continues to operate properly and does not ice up at all.
This unit is a true testament to the quality of Whirlpool at the time. Whirlpool seemed to be one of the last really good brands that held onto quality into the 2000s.
