Correct selection and installation of a pump for the air conditioner ensure long-term and trouble-free operation. Installation is carried out by specialists of a climatic company that supplies the entire set of equipment.
Installation of various types of pumps
But the pump can be installed on any part of the drainage system at a distance provided by the pump manufacturer. Boxes for communications, a niche above an air conditioner or a space above a false ceiling are suitable. This method of mounting the air conditioner pump makes it completely invisible.
Rules for installing pumps for air conditioners
When installing a pump for an air conditioner, the following requirements must be taken into account:
- the tank is mounted strictly horizontally;
- fixed after installation;
- Condensate drainage pipes are sized according to the pump model. When installing them, sags or loops are avoided;
- all horizontal sections of the drainage line are mounted with a slope towards the outlet;
- for power supply, only the wires recommended in the instructions for the pump are used;
- some parts of the pump may become hot, the heat must be dissipated.
If all the above points are taken into account during installation, the equipment will not break down for a long time.
Otherwise, you will have to resort to replacing the air conditioner pump.
Replacing the drain pump of the air conditioner
They resort to replacing the air conditioner pump if for some reason the pump has failed, condensate from the turned on air conditioner flows onto the walls or into the ventilation ducts.
Almost any model of drainage pumps has a filling sensor of three levels. At the first fill level, the pump is turned off because the container is empty. At the second level, the pump turns on - the tank is full and needs to be emptied. And the third is the emergency level. It is the highest, condensation leakage is possible. In such a situation, the air conditioner must be turned off.
In the event of a breakdown, the air conditioner pump is replaced by specialists from the supplier.
Only a competent selection of the pump makes it possible to drain condensate even in special situations. At the same time, the problem of "fitting" climatic technology into the room and ensuring uninterrupted operation without leaks and damage to walls and facades is being solved.
