Air conditioners are operating almost every day after summer, and most households experience the same marked change: the wind vents are dreary, the wind flow is smaller, the room cools slowly, the same temperature is set, and there is a small increase in the cost of electricity per month。
In such cases, most of the first choice was to contact the electric cleaners. In combination with the general situation of sub-national electric cleansing, the cost of single cleaning of general wall-mounted air conditioners is mostly between $80 and $120, and the cost of cleaning of stand-alone cabinets is higher, with single prices generally above $150. Most households clean air conditioners at least once or twice a year and accumulate over the years, which is not an expense。
Many users do not understand that mainstream hfa air conditioners after 2015 are above 85 per cent self-cleaning standards, and that this basic plant function is largely carried by both old and new machines. This function, for example, does not require the dismantling of machines, the acquisition of various types of detergents, the manual cleaning of internal parts, and simple operation by remote control means that the equipment can be self-contained, scrubbing, decomposing, drying and drying processes in about half an hour, which fully meet the daily household cleaning needs。
The main reasons why this free function has been inactive over the years are focused on three points: lack of clarity as to how the function works, lack of knowledge of the correct way of doing it, and error in the course of the operation resulting in a weaker clean-up function, which is then judged to be ineffective. The complete dismantling of air conditioners from all practical aspects of cleanup, including operating principles, standardized operating procedures, mainstream brand start-up, use taboos and maintenance packages, is described below, and can lead to a significant reduction in the frequency of paid cleaning。
I. Real science: ac clean-up industry standards, not headlines
A number of users have questioned the automated cleaning function, arguing that the equipment is empty and does not have the effect of manual cleaning. In fact, the self-cleaning of air conditioners is a standardized physical clean-up process that meets the relevant national standards for anti-bacterial desiccation in national air conditioners, with four fixed phases, each with a clear clean-up effect。
The first phase was the packaging of impurities with cryogenic condensation. When equipment is cut into a cleaning exclusive mode, the interior evaporation unit cools quickly and the surface is condensed with an even layer of frost, which will completely cover the piles of dust, hair, tatters and fungus spores in the suture of the wings, which will secure loose impurities, avoid dust spreading to the interior during cleaning and eliminate secondary air pollution。
The second stage is to wash the dirt for frost currents. After completion of the condensation procedure, the equipment automatically warms, the ice melts to form a sufficient amount of condensed water, the current flows from the top down to the evaporation gap, brushes light oil stains, dust and fungus residues attached to the surface of the parts, and all sewage discharges out of the room along the drainage pipes, relying on the physical flow to clean up。
The third phase is the drying of hot water. When the water wash is completed, the equipment will not be stopped and a regular drying procedure will be initiated. In accordance with the current national debacterial standards for air conditioners, the prevailing drying temperature is not less than 56°c, and the continuous heat cycle drying evaporation and sewn water from wind wheels. The wet environment is the core incentive for fungus breeding and air conditioning to produce odors, and high temperature drying can reduce the probability of impurities from the root causes。
The fourth stage is the consolidation of the epilepsy. Air-conditioning evaporation units, mostly equipped with antibacterial coatings, have been released in recent years, and basic antibacterial suppression procedures will be initiated during the clean-out phase, reducing the probability of secondary growth of bacteria and fungus and maintaining long-term drying and clean inside the body。
The full automated process takes 30 to 40 minutes, with small fluctuations in different brands and types of aircraft operating over a long period of time, without human intervention, without loss of air conditioner core parts and without any material cost. This model can be improved by the dust that arises from daily use, the slight aroma, and the accumulation of shallow bacteria。
Ii. Generic standard operating procedures for all hangers, cabinet types
There are fixed operating prerequisites for self-cleaning, and the vast majority of poor clean-up performances are due to equipment performance errors. The system is adapted to all mainstream models on the market, with a high tolerance for errors and successful completion by new players。
First, keep the air conditioner off-line. If air conditioners are operating in any mode of refrigeration, heat preparation, wind delivery and wetting, the internal running program cannot be switched to a clean mode, then pressing the clean button will not produce any response. It is only necessary to properly turn off the air conditioner mode, without having to unplug the power and keep it open。
Second, to remove the filter in advance and simply wash it. Cleaning is limited to internal evaporation and windways and does not cover external filters. The filter is the first anti-dust barrier to air conditioning, and once it is blocked, even if the body is clean, there will still be problems of wind insufficiency and discomfort. The effect will be significantly enhanced by the start of the cleanup process by lifting the interior panel, removing the filter, cleaning up the stains, naturally drying up the shades, and then starting the cleaning process when it is back in place。
Thirdly, the remote control is directed towards the receiving area to initiate the procedure. Keys for matching functions on the remote control are found, with common identifications of three types: self-cleaning, self-cleaning, english clean, and associated icons, mostly with water drops and circular arrow styles. Press the button once, hear the sound of the interior, and the remote screen jumps out of the clean icon, i. E., the program is successfully activated。
Fourth, the entire static waiting process automatically ends. Do not close windows during cleaning operations, do not press buttons, do not cut power. Wind turbines are largely static during operation and do not blow dust out of the air, and minor water flow and low-operational noise of equipment is normal, pending an automatic stoppage of equipment and complete cleaning。
Iii. A proprietary start-up mode for mainstream air conditioning brands without the need to review the instructions
Some of the old machine remotes do not have independent self-cleaning keys and are required to rely on a combination key trigger. The following is a generic operation for the mainstream brand of the market, which is based on the original account of each brand and can be used directly against each brand。
(a) gl air conditioner (gl): when the power is off-line, with a long three-second light key, an accelerator key and a cl character on the screen, representing a clean start
United states air conditioners: the new money machine presses the independent clean-up button directly, the old machine without an exclusive key, which can be activated with a long time key plus wind speed
Hale air conditioning: most machines are equipped with independent self-cleaning buttons, which can be activated by short presses, and medium- and high-end machines with high-temperature degenerative patterns of 56°c
Small-scale air conditioners: the new type of machine is equipped with clean's special key, while the old type simultaneously presses the subheat key and the time key triggers the clean mode
Ox air conditioner: under standby, with a long sleep key and a time key of three seconds, the device makes a hint to start successfully
Tcl air conditioner: turn off, long mode key and wind key, and clean screen sign to run。
All combinations of key-button operations, the core premise being that the air conditioner is off-lined, and the operation is not effective at the start-up, which requires focused attention。
Iv. Objective delineation of functional boundaries to distinguish between cleanness and uncleanness
The rational use of the self-cleaning function requires objective recognition of the limitations of the function, without exaggerating its effects, not completely negating it and using it rationally in the context in order to achieve the maximum value of the function。
Self-cleaning will clear the surface of the evaporation unit with dust, hair, screech and light oil pollution, improve the daily accumulation of shallow fungus, relieve the routine aroma and stench of air conditioners; purge the small plugs of the evaporation unit and restore the heat exchange efficiency; reduce the operating load of the equipment, reduce the amount of electricity consumed, weaken the noise of the operation, and slow the ageing rate of the spare parts by long-term routine use。
However, there are clear limitations to this function, which cannot be a substitute for manual deep dismantling. Filters are thick enough to plug stains, persistent heavy oil stains accumulated by wind turbines over the years, air-conditioning casings and surface ash in vents, all of which cannot be removed by automatic cleaning。
A brief summary: season shift, daily deodorant, home-based maintenance, air conditioners are fully equipped with self-cleaning; an annual manual in-depth clean-up is sufficient to clean up the intransigent stains of the aeroplane body, without paying for frequent door-to-door cleaning。
V. Hf usage of misdirection to circumvent error protection equipment
Many users start cleaning with less than expected effects, and even exacerbate damp problems in their airframes, mostly by stepping into routine use error zones, and the following four types of misuse need to be actively avoided。
First, the clean model is activated too frequently. Some users believe that the more cleaning, the cleaner the fuselage, the more self-cleaning is activated each time the air conditioning is exhausted. Frequent condensation, frosting and high-temperature drying will continue to increase compressor operating loads and long-term overuse, accelerating the ageing of internal parts and reducing the lifetime of the whole machine。
Secondly, the clean-up process is randomly interrupted. In the absence of the end of the cleaning process, the manual switch-off, the switch-off mode, and the removal of the power supply will directly interrupt the drying of the bacterial steps, the internal water accumulation of the body will not be dry, the wet environment will accelerate the growth of the fungus and the problem of the aroma will increase。
Thirdly, it depends entirely on self-cleaning and long-term non-washing of filters. Filter congestion is the main incentive for small wind and air-conditioning ash, and even if the routine start-up is self-cleaning, a large amount of dust piled up in the filter can still affect wind effects and it is recommended that the filter be washed manually on a regular basis。
Fourth, high-moisture weather blindly initiates cleaning. The heavy humidity of the air in the rain and back-to-south environment, which tends to build up the tide in the body itself, and the frequent initiation of clean-up leads to a build-up of internal moisture, which reduces the drying effect and increases the probability of bacteria breeding。
Vi. Home-based air-conditioning package maintenance cycle, taking into account use effectiveness and cost
The maintenance of air conditioners can be stabilized by organizing a maintenance programme for the vast majority of households in the context of household use and seasonal temperature changes, with low thresholds and no additional expenditure。
Monthly basic maintenance: monthly filtration of the network, based on the actual frequency of use, with dry rags to wipe the surface of the wind vents from ash and to ensure a smooth ventilation
Re-season focus on cleaning: a complete self-cleaning process must be initiated before the air conditioners can be re-activated in summer and winter. (b) the inactivity phase of the equipment can easily accumulate dust, breed fungus and be cleaned early in the season, and can circumvent the aroma from the source
Annual depth conservation: manual cleaning of wind vents and wind turbines to see dead corners before annual summer peaks of power are reached; use of air conditioners with more than three years of service, each year arranges a professional breaker for deep cleaning and clears the long-standing dirt piles。
In keeping with this maintenance system, air conditioners are less likely to have frequent aroma, reduced wind volume and increased electricity consumption, which can increase the comfort of daily use and slow the aging of the whole machine and save the costs of repeated cleaning。
The basic maintenance function for all types of household appliances is an out-of-plant package, but only with low prevalence and unknown to most users. The simple operation of remote controls allows daily air conditioner cleaning to be done, saves time and effort, and reduces unnecessary living expenses, which are cost-effective forms of home maintenance。
