[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4252555, member: 15054"] I have many instances where engineers were super dumb. If they were so smart in 1984 they would have built a much larger coil area on that 2.5 ton unit and dropped the head pressure significantly and lowered running load amps significantly. They were cranking out stuff to make money. Do not even get me started on the dumb stuff "engineers" did in the automotive field. Most of that revolves around packaging or copy cat production not genius moves. It's about making money and moving stock. Proof is in the lower electric bill and cooler house. You can monitor your daily electrical usage from OG&E and see what works for your particular situation. If a window screen or other filtration device hurts then by all means get it off of there. Now I have an air speed measuring device and am a bit curious as to how much loss in speed there would be . Would be fun to measure. I use it for automotive fans and radiators to check different pitch fans and coil thicknesses along with different shrouds. You can check multiple areas on the radiator core and see if you can get a better balance with a different fan or shroud spacing. Fun with numbers. I like numbers. [/QUOTE]
