A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Derek Cole explaining HVAC sizing: increasing blower speed may make air move harder but does not increase cooling capacity. Air conditioners are sized for a design ambient temperature (stated as 95°F); at higher outdoor temperatures (example: 98°F) a unit (e.g., a three-ton system) can lose cooling capacity relative to its rated performance.
I mean, it's gonna might blow a little harder, but it's not gonna give you more capacity. And that's what you're looking for. Looking for capacity. That's why I think that question is worded in that way is because you're trying to get, you know, it's 98 degrees, my thermostat is getting behind. I need more of a unit, I need a bigger blower, I need more capacity. Well, not really because units are only designed at 95 degrees here. Here we're sized at 95 degrees. So if you have a three ton unit and it's 98 degrees, then yes, you have lost capacity.
