Air conditioning units are laden down with copper which weighs a whopping 558 pounds for each cubic feet of metal. This copper is hiding in the evaporator and the condenser coils which remove heat from the air and replace it with cool air. Even the compressor has smidgen of copper. Almost 60% of the weight of the cooling unit comes from these copper components.

Despite its weight, copper is the #1 choice among manufacturers as it is abundant, relatively inexpensive and an excellent conductor of heat which makes it perfect to keep you cool as a cucumber on even the hottest of days.

I don't wish to be argumentative ,but I disagree with the Islamic belief that I should be killed! " If radical atheists decided they needed to kill believers to ensure their place in nothingness, I'd be criticizing that too."
