If you sent a 220 volt ac Air conditioning to Europe it would work but the compressor and fan speeds would be slower. The speed of motors is determined by the power frequency, in Europe 50 hertz. Our 115v conditioner would not work there, because it would have double its normal voltage.
Okay - now I got ya - but it's plain as mud to me.
I know that I've heard when people travel to Europe, that small appliances like hair dryers won't work there, without some kind of converter.
Did I get that part right???
