This use to make air-conditioning more short-lived?

The hot weather allowed all of our households to start using air conditioners. In frequent use, the regular maintenance of air conditioners cannot be ignored. In fact, long-time or frequent switching air conditioners will bring some damage to the compressor, thereby shortening the product's life span. In addition to daily use, we have many misunderstandings about air conditioners. How much do you know?

Today, the author brings you several common mistakes in the use of air conditioners. Interested friends may wish to check it out.

Misunderstanding 1: The air in air-conditioned rooms does not need to be replaced

Many air conditioners now carry functions such as negative ions and ventilation, and users feel that the air that is cooled by these air conditioners is beneficial to health. In fact, even with these features, we also need to open doors and windows for ventilation of indoor air after a certain period of time.

Special reminder: In the long-term use of air-conditioning, users should regularly open windows, so that the air inside the room and the outside air convection, so that it is most conducive to health.

Misunderstanding 2: No need to use air conditioning for a long time

The core of the work of air conditioning is the compressor, which has lubricating oil. If it is not used for a long time, the lubricating oil will condense, and it may cause the compressor to get stuck when it is used again.

Special reminder: In the season without air conditioning, it is best to keep the amount of usage once a month.

Misunderstanding 3: The refrigerant needs to be changed once a year

Many users feel that air conditioners have been used for a while and that they must change refrigerants. In fact, this view is not correct. The notion that air conditioners need to exchange refrigerants regularly is purely nonsense. Air conditioners and refrigerators are cooled by refrigerants. However, since the refrigerator is a closed type refrigeration equipment, it is never necessary to add refrigerants. The air-conditioning refrigeration system is semi-enclosed. In the cooling process, there will generally be some leakage of refrigerant, so sometimes it needs to add refrigerant. However, the leakage of each air conditioner refrigerant is not the same, so there is no specific time, it must be replaced by the user. In fact, the use of air conditioners for four or five years without adding refrigerants abounds.

Misunderstanding four: clean air conditioning just wash the filter

In all household appliances, air-conditioning dust pollution is the most serious, and air-conditioning cleaning is also the most easily overlooked. Some users have been using air conditioners for many years since they were installed. They never wash until they malfunction.

Special reminder: “Air Conditioning Maintenance Manual” stipulates that air conditioners are generally cleaned and maintained before use in summer or after use in autumn. In fact, air conditioning cleaning, under normal circumstances users can complete alone.

The first is to clean the machine. The filter must be cleaned, and before the photocatalyst in the air conditioner is used, it needs to be kept in the sun for ten minutes to maintain its function. If you use it for a long time, there is more dust in the machine and the evaporator needs to be cleaned. Air conditioners that work in places with relatively large fumes need to be completely removed and fully cleaned.

In addition to the internal machine, the external machine must also be cleaned. If the external unit is not hung outside, users can use their own water to clean the condenser and heat exchange.

Myth 5: Exposed Exposed Needed Canopy

In fact, if the outside air suspension is in a good position, it is not necessary to shield the wind and shelter from the rain. Because the external machine is designed, it adds waterproof, anti-acid, rust-proof features, and does not require additional shielding. However, if you often want to expose the sun in the outer machine, it is best to have an awning. When installing the awning, the user must pay attention to the size of the awning, because a too small awning can affect the heat exchange of the air conditioner.
