Is the air conditioner 26 degrees cold or 18 degrees cold?

The picture shows an ordinary constant-speed household split cabinet air conditioner.

This air conditioner is set to 26 degrees, 18 degrees. Before the actual indoor temperature reaches the set temperature, the feeling of "cool" is the same, and there will be no difference.

In order to reduce the actual indoor temperature below 26 degrees, only the set temperature is below 26 degrees. From this point of view, it can generally be said that setting 18 degrees is cool.

Ordinary constant-speed air conditioners run at full load as long as they are turned on, and the workload has not changed.
