I was at my kids' school today and the AC units outside started up while I was standing near it.
It didn't sounds too good, and I noticed the fan closest to the building was not spinning very fast.
I couldn't tell if it was spinning slowly because it was lame, or because it was 'off' and the other fan's suction was just making it spin idly.
It looks like this condenser has two compressors and two fans. Of course I couldn't tell by looking if the other compressor was running. So my question is...does a dual compressor setup like this ever run just one compressor/fan, or do they both run always? It seems to me they would both need to run but I'm not sure...
