Many owners believe that all air conditioner cleaning is just flushing the filters. Indeed, the filters should be looked after by the owners themselves. Therefore, they write about it in the instructions. In addition to it, it is necessary to regularly clean the indoor unit of the air conditioner: radiators, drainage system, fans. But this is the task of the service technicians. Three years of operation without cleaning the air conditioner reduces the efficiency of the equipment in half!
Cleaning the air conditioner filters
- The front cover of the indoor unit rises gently. Small nets are found under it;
- They are easily pulled out of the grooves;
- The meshes are washed under running water. If they are heavily soiled, they are soaked in warm water with the simplest soap;
- Rinsed thoroughly from soap;
- Air dry;
- Are installed in place;
- The lid closes.
The cleaning of the air conditioner filters is complete.
Air conditioner radiator cleaning
Cleaning the indoor unit of the air conditioner is impossible without washing the radiator. The heat exchanger radiator located in the indoor module is one of the most important components for the operation of the air conditioner. It is here that the air temperature changes. The cold radiator is constantly covered with condensation, to which dust sticks and bacteria and fungi grow well here. The efficiency of the radiator is reduced, it becomes a breeding ground for microbes.
The radiator of the air conditioner is cleaned by craftsmen, since it is not easy to get to it. Thin plates are easily damaged, so you need a compressor, a steam generator and a professional powerful vacuum cleaner.
The situation is even worse with the radiator of the outdoor module. It gets dirty three times faster, as it is located directly on the street in the dusty atmosphere of the city. The radiator of the outdoor unit air conditioner is cleaned with pressurized water.
Cleaning the air conditioner drain
Condensation from the air conditioner is removed by gravity through the drainage system. Gradually, the walls of the drainage tube and the water collection tray become covered with dirt, microbes multiply in them, sometimes even mold grows. The hose becomes clogged and the air conditioner starts to cry. Sometimes a clogged drainpipe smells unpleasant.
Cleaning the air conditioner drain consists in flushing it with high pressure water. For this, special equipment is used. Therefore, do not try to clean the air conditioner drain yourself.
