Once in the summer, the temperature went up like a rocket, and a lot of places had gone through 30 degrees, and the air conditioner "suspended" season. But a lot of people don't know, it's the first time in summer that air conditioning can't go straight to cool! This seemingly invisible little habit not only reduces the life expectancy of air conditioners by several years, but may also lead to respiratory diseases, skin allergies, etc., with special attention to older children in the home。
The old man used to say, "slashers don't cut wood." the air conditioner was idle for six months, and there was already dust, fungus and mites in the interior. If we go straight to the cooler, these harmful substances will be blown out of the room by the cold wind, and it's not cool air that we breathe in, it's "the fungus." today, happy to share with you the right course of operation for the first air-conditioning operation in the summer, a few simple steps that will protect air-conditioning and the health of the family and save a lot of electricity。
First, we'll do a full-scale check
The air conditioners were released for seven or eight months, and many components could be ageing or loose, and safety checks before they were launched could never be saved. "a thousand miles of embankment, overcrowding an ant's den," a small safety hazard could have serious consequences。
1. Check whether there are any piles of miscellaneous items, branches or plastic bags around the out-of-air air conditioners that would block the wind vents, affect thermal effects and, in serious cases, lead to overheated burning of the out-of-air aircraft. Especially those who live on the first floor must see whether the outside machine is nested by rats, birds and whether the wires are broken。
2. Check whether the power lines and plugs of the interior machines are broken and ageing. If the power lines are broken or plugs loose, do not force them to turn on, but must first seek professional electrical maintenance。
3. Check if the batteries of the ac remote control units are electrical and it is advisable to replace the new alkaline batteries to avoid damage to the remote control because of the leak of the batteries。
Open the window for 10-15 minutes to allow air flow in the room and prepare for subsequent air conditioning cleaning。
Let's start with the wind mode, then the cooling
It's the most crucial step, and 90% of people do wrong. A large number of people enter the room and move the air conditioner directly to the lowest temperature and wind speed to the maximum, which is very bad for both the air conditioner and the body. "advance is not fast enough" and rushing for it is often counterproductive。
1. Transfer air conditioning to wind delivery mode, wind speed to maximum, running in about 30 minutes. Air-conditioning compressors are not working in wind-delivery mode, except for the interior fans, which can blow out the dust, fungus and odor accumulated inside the air-conditioning。
2. During the delivery of the wind, all windows and doors must be opened so that the dirty air that is blown out of the air reaches the outdoors in a timely manner. If there is a clear smell of mold or sour, it means that the internal fungus of the air conditioner has become more severe and the duration of the delivery has to be extended to one hour。
3. After wind delivery, the air conditioner is transferred to the cooling mode, with temperatures set at 26-27 degrees and wind speeds in the middle. This allows air-conditioning compressors to be activated slowly, avoiding sudden high loads and extending their useful lives。
Refrigeration operates in 15 minutes before adjusting temperature and wind speeds to their own feelings. Remember, air conditioning should not be below 26 degrees, saving electricity and making air conditioners difficult。
It's a simple, clean filter. It works fast
Air-conditioning filters are the first line of defence against dust and bacteria and the easiest place to be dirty. It is recommended that you take the filters off before you start air conditioning for the first time every summer. "if you want to do something good, you have to do it first."。
1. Disconnect the ac power supply, which is the most important safety step, and never be electrically operated。
You'll see two filters inside the panel. Follow the direction indicated by the arrows and gently pull out the filter。
3. Washing the filters with fresh water from the back towards the front, which makes dust easier to wash away. If the filter is particularly dirty, it can be brushed lightly with a bit of a neutral detergent and not with a wire ball or a hard brush to avoid damage to the filter。
4. Dry clean filters where they are in the cold, they must not be tanned in the sun, otherwise they may be deformed。
When the filter is fully dry, it will be installed in its original location and the panel will be ready。
Depth cleaning evaporationers and condensers
If your air conditioning has been in use for more than three years, or if the last cleaning was a year ago, it's not enough to clean the filter. Air-conditioning evaporaters and condensers are the most affected areas of the fungus。
1. Special air-conditioning cleaners can be purchased online, and those with fungicides can be selected at less expensive and simple operations。
2. Disconnect the power supply, remove the filter, and evenly spray the air conditioner cleaner on the evaporation unit's wings, so as not to spray on the circuit boards and on the electric press。
3. When the spray is over, the detergent will remain in place for 15-20 minutes, allowing it to fully dissolve dirt and fungus。
Then the air conditioner is moved to the cooling mode, operating for 30 minutes, and the stains on the evaporation unit flow to the condensed disk and drain through the drain pipe outside。
5. Finally, check whether the cooled condensed drain is smooth and, if it is not, it can be connected with a thin wire or pipe to avoid the planting of mosquitoes and bacteria。
These common error zones must be avoided
Many people use air conditioning in the wrong way, not only waste electricity, but also harm their health. "the difference is thousands of miles." a small wrong habit can cause great harm。
1. Do not lower air conditioning temperatures too low. It is better not to exceed 8 degrees of temperature difference in the interior or out of the house, otherwise it can cause cold, headache, joint pain, etc. Especially for the elderly and children, the ability to regulate body temperature is poor and much more important。
2. Do not operate air conditioning for long periods. Every 2-3 hours, windows are open for 10-15 minutes to keep indoor air fresh。
Three, don't blow right into the air conditioner. The cold wind can cause skin vascular constriction, muscle spasms, pain in the shoulder neck, facial palsy, etc. The air conditioner can be moved up to the top to allow the cold air to sink naturally。
No smoking in the air conditioning room. The air in the air-conditioning room is not in circulation, the smoke is re-inhaled and there are significant lung damage。
5. No frequent switch air conditioning. The currents at ac start up are three to five times the normal running time, and frequent switches not only cost electricity but also reduce the useful life of compressors。
Sharing a few practical power-saving techniques
The cost of air-conditioning electricity in the summer is the bulk of household expenditure, and some of the techniques used to save electricity can save money. "fine, oil and salt." you have to learn to save money。
1. When the air conditioner is turned on, the curtains are drawn, especially for windows heading south and west, which can prevent direct sunlight and lower indoor temperatures。
2. Use with electrical fans. An electric fan can speed up the flow of air and make the body feel cooler, so air conditioning can rise 2-3 degrees and save around 30% of electricity。
3. When sleeping at night, air conditioning is transferred to sleep mode. In sleep mode, air conditioning automatically increases the temperature, saves electricity and does not cool because the temperature is too low。
4. Regular clean air conditioning. A clean air conditioner is more than 30% more efficient than a dirty air conditioner, which saves a lot of electricity。
The air conditioners in the summer were designed to make us more comfortable, but they had to be right. The first air conditioner is operated on the basis of the happy steps of checking, sending, cooling and regular maintenance so that it lasts long and families can spend the summer in good health。
In particular, attention is drawn to the need to find specialized maintenance staff to check the air conditioners in case of non-refrigeration, noise, leaks, etc., and not to remove them at will to avoid danger. Air conditioning cleaning is simple, but if you've been using air conditioning for more than five years, or if it's particularly dirty in the interior, it is recommended that professionals do a deep cleaning。
This paper covers practical aspects such as the right steps to start air conditioning for the first time in the summer, how to clean air conditioning filters, how to clean air conditioning evaporaters, how to save electricity for air conditioning, and how to prevent air conditioning disease, and hopefully help you。
