I have bought a slightly used admiral aw-08cr1fm 7800 btu window air conditioner at a good price. I can return it if need be. I need to know if it is cooling adequately. It is cold outside (58 degrees F ), however I can place it in my car and turn the heater on and probably get the temperature up to 80 degrees. So if I create this situation where the ''outside'' air temperature is 80 degrees and the intake air temperature is 80 degrees, how cold should the discharge air temperature be?
Also It has 3 speeds all of which are very quiet but it does not seem to blow air very forcefully on high. Any way to measure this? And if it is a problem, is there any way to assist the air flow with some type of fan?

The air conditioner should be big enough. It is hard to say whether or not the 46-47 degrees is right as you did not give a room temperature. The first thing to do before installing a used unit is to thoroughly clean it. Use your garden house to rinse both the evaporator and condenser coils. Also ensure the filter is clean. If the unit is still not cooling properly it likely needs a shot of refrigerant. Beyond cleaning the unit I would not recommend other do it yourself fixes.
Get the cubic volume of the room. The highest temprature differential. and how many air changes you need. this will give you the btu required.
If this is too high, get the biggest unit that your supply can safely carry.
Lets clarify. DRY mode only dehumidifes that air and does not cool. Cool is used for cooling. Dry mode doesn't normally have temp control; it is automatically set by the unit. I think 9000btu is a big unit for the room; it is overkill. I would switch to a 5000btu unit. it cannot be fixed and the BR unit needs to be uninstalled and the new unit needs to be re-installed. The price of commisioning, de-commisioning and new unit is something in which you will have to pay.
