Although air conditioners purchased through regular channels generally include installation, some installers are not skilled enough to install air conditioners correctly, which will cause hidden dangers for your later use. There are detailed installation requirements and steps for installing air conditioners. As long as the installation is completed by referring to the steps correctly, generally there will be no quality problems. Next, I will share with you the correct air conditioner installation steps and precautions.
Air Conditioner Installation Location Factors Affecting Air Conditioner Placement Space Factors: Vertical air conditioners need to occupy the floor area; wall-mounted air conditioners need to occupy the wall area; The air conditioner needs to occupy the ceiling area. Internal and external factors of the air conditioner: If the copper pipes connected between the internal and external units of the air conditioner are too long, the cooling effect will be poor. Comfort: The air outlet of the air conditioner should try to avoid blowing directly at people, and the comfort is also poor. Where is the best place to place the air conditioner The location of the air conditioner in the dining room: the air conditioner is installed in the area by the window, which not only shortens the copper pipes connected to the inside and outside units of the air conditioner, but also shortens the It can improve the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner. Bedroom air conditioner placement: The bedroom air conditioner can be installed at the end of the bed, so that the air outlet of the air conditioner will not blow directly on the head. If it is not suitable to be placed on the side wall, the air conditioner can also be installed at the head of the bed. Air conditioning installation preparation Air conditioning hole height If it is a hanging air conditioner, the height of the air conditioning hole is generally about 2.2 meters, and its height will be a few centimeters lower than the height of the air conditioner. If it is a cabinet air conditioner, the height of the air conditioner hole is mostly about 20 cm and so on. Socket height The height of the sockets for different air conditioners is also different. The height of the sockets used for vertical air conditioners should be 30cm above the ground, and the height of sockets for hanging air conditioners should be 1.8m above the ground. Wire size selectionHousehold air conditioners generally use 2.5 square, 4 square, and 6 square copper core wires. The specific specification of the wire can be considered according to the power of the air conditioner and other factors. Circuit setting The air conditioner must have a separate circuit, especially in the living room. Considering that the floor cabinet may be used in the future, a separate circuit is set up, and a circuit is set for other bedroom air conditioners. Can. Auxiliary materials for air-conditioning installation Copper pipe Function: It is used to make the air duct for the return air of the internal unit. It has the characteristics of small wind resistance and good thermal insulation effect, which can effectively guarantee Air conditioning operation effect. Length selection: The standard copper pipe of the air conditioner is 3~5 meters long. If the installation distance between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is relatively far, the copper pipe needs to be extended. Function: The air conditioner outdoor unit bracket is a supporting device used to support the air conditioner outdoor unit. Material selection: There are many kinds of materials for air conditioner brackets, and the common ones are galvanized sheet material and stainless steel material. Cost: If the wall is too thick, extended expansion screws will be used when installing the bracket, and the price will be more expensive. Leakage protector Function: a switch used to disconnect the circuit in time when a leakage fault occurs in the equipment, or when a fatal electric shock occurs to a person. Size selection: 1-1.5P air conditioners need to be equipped with 16-25A circuit breakers, 3-5P cabinets need to be equipped with 25-32A protectors. Installation steps for different types of air conditioners Vertical air conditioners: connecting pipelines→installing the base of the indoor unit→adding anti-falling measures for the indoor unit→connecting the pipes→connecting the pipes in the vertical indoor unit→wiring br> Cabinet air conditioner: selection of installation location → installation of indoor unit → installation of outdoor unit → pipe connection → wiring → test run Central air conditioner: installation of indoor unit → installation of refrigerant pipe → installation of condensate pipe → installation of outdoor unit → air outlet Inspection and installation Precautions for air-conditioning installation Preventing freon leakage: The cooling effect after the air-conditioning installation is greatly affected by the amount of fluorine. After the air-conditioning is installed, the installer must carefully check the air-conditioning connection port , to see if there is any leakage of fluorine. Prevent rainwater from pouring back: In order to prevent rainwater from pouring into the room, the inner side of the air-conditioning hole through the wall should be higher than the outside side. After the installation is completed, the gap of the hole through the wall must be blocked with putty. Prevent indoor water leakage: Condensed water will be produced when the air conditioner is refrigerating. It is reasonable to say that the condensed water should be directly discharged to the outside, but sometimes the condensed water cannot be discharged if the installation is not good. Therefore, when installing, you can pour some water into the water tray of the air conditioner to test the drainage. Prevent outdoor water leakage: When the air conditioner is heating, it will defrost into water. To prevent outdoor water leakage, the installer should install a water outlet and a water outlet pipe for the outdoor unit.
