Scientific and technological progress does not stand still. Developers of famous world technical brands do everything so that human life is as comfortable and safe as possible.
Air conditioners appeared not so long ago, but have already gained considerable popularity in our country; which can not only cool, but also warm the air to a certain temperature. This mode is very practical in the fall and spring, before and after the heating season, when it is quite cool outside.
Using air conditioners in the winter period
Many owners of such universal air conditioners are often interested in whether it is possible to include air conditioning in winter? Usually, in the instructions to the device, the manufacturer indicates at what temperature the air conditioner is capable of heating and at which cooling.
There are models of air conditioners who work for heating at temperature outside the window no more than – 5?FROM. (But consultants, nevertheless, do not recommend turning on the device for this purpose at an external temperature below 0?C, since this will negatively affect the life of its operation).
Winter set for split systems
Fortunately, the developers managed to resolve the issue of winter use of air conditioners. Systems equipped with a special set of split are installed, as a rule, in rooms where the elevated temperature remains in the winter period.
The winter kit consists of:
Fan speed devices. Allows you to maintain a normal conditioning regime.
Heating element of the compressor crankcase. It does not allow thicken the oil, constantly heating it, and prevents the possibility of flowing into the refrigerant crankcase when the compressor stops.
The heater of the drainage system, which is designed to discharge condensate. Allows you to prevent freezing in the tube and provides an unhindered outflow of liquid.
Important! Does not allow freezing of the air conditioning unit entering the room.
Preparation of split systems for the winter period
To exclude the possibility of air conditioning breakdowns at a low temperature, the following preventive measures must be performed:
Turn on the split system for about two hours in ventilation mode to remove moisture accumulated in the inner block.
Close the outer block with a protective casing to avoid precipitation on it.
Clean the air conditioner filters.
Advice. If there is no protective casing, for these purposes you can use a waterproof film or fabric.
These simple actions will protect the air conditioner from breakdowns and ensure its reliable work in any mode even in winter.
