Installation of air conditioners

The first step you need to take when installing an air conditioning system is to determine the location of the appliance bodies. There are several different types of air conditioning systems on the market, but in general the basic principle of their location is the same. Proper positioning of the indoor and outdoor unit is paramount. In case of incorrect installation of the indoor unit, this can lead to reduced efficiency, increased noise levels and drafts in the room. Other features such as air conditioning capacity, amount of sunlight, lighting and the number of people typically living in the room must be taken into account. Care must be taken to ensure that the airflow is not in direct contact with any of the persons in the room. And last but not least, the aesthetic factor must be taken into account, ie.

The outdoor unit of the air conditioner must be installed in a place that is convenient for access in case of repair and maintenance. It is also necessary to choose the most discreet place so as not to disturb the external appearance of the building too much. Also take into account the climatic conditions, and provide good protection from the sun, rain and wind, as they have a direct impact on the longevity of the system and its efficient operation.

To ensure the safe and efficient operation of the air conditioner you need to use the services of specialists in this field. We advise you to save yourself the trouble and losses caused by the decision to install the newly purchased air conditioner yourself. Trust the professionals from the Mega Electronics team and enjoy a trouble-free installation.

For the purposes of high-quality installation of any air conditioning system, you will also need a set of professional tools and devices for installation, as well as copper pipe and insulation, meeting the relevant conditions and requirements. The main elements that make up the air conditioning system require quality copper pipes to perform their functions more efficiently. Copper pipes are essential for the distribution of liquids used in condensers and evaporators, which form a major part of the system.

Other elements required for the installation are a quality stand that meets the requirements for security and reliability, as well as fasteners and consumables such as bandage tape, PVC tape and rubber anti-vibration pads. The indoor and outdoor unit of the air conditioner are connected by a copper pipe through which the refrigerant passes. The two bodies of the system must be securely fastened and connected. The installation of an air conditioner includes a copper pipe, which is the main reason for the relatively high prices of this service. Among the advantages of this material are the difficult aging, as well as the slow change of its parameters.

One of the first things you need to consider when installing the outdoor unit higher than the indoor is the provision of the so-called. U-knee, also known as "oil trap".

Another important step in the process of installing an air conditioning system is the proper drainage of condensate. It is necessary to provide a suitable place for this process so that your air conditioning system does not interfere with neighbors or other nearby objects.

Cooling by air conditioners during the summer season is due to the removal of moisture from the room. The more humid a room is, the stronger the feeling of warmth. Air conditioning systems manage to take this moisture outside and thus create a feeling of coolness. An interesting fact is that an air conditioner manages to take up to several liters of water out of the room. The condensed water is collected in a tub located in the indoor unit of the air conditioner. With the help of a specially adapted hose, it is taken out of the room.

The next step in the installation process involves the so-called "vacuuming the system". This procedure takes an average of 20 minutes, and its exact duration depends on the pipeline and the vacuum pump. It is a check of the permeability of the system, or its tightness. The release of small amounts of freon cannot be indicated by this test, but in general it shows whether there is a loss of heat output.
