Air conditioner installation is a complex and time-consuming process that requires special knowledge, skills, and special, expensive equipment and tools.
Installation of the air conditioner includes: installation of internal and external units of the air conditioner, laying and connecting the freon pipeline, electrical communications and pipeline for condensate removal. The final and mandatory stage in the installation of the air conditioner is the vacuuming of the freon line.
Standard air conditioner installation
What does the concept - standard installation of an air conditioner mean?
Standard installation of an air conditioner is the installation of an air conditioner in which the total length of communications does not exceed three meters. In most cases, this happens as follows: the indoor unit is installed on the wall adjacent to the wall facing the street with a window opening, at a distance of 0.5 m - 1 m, the offset of the upper part of the indoor unit from the ceiling is usually from 10 to 15 see what is necessary for air intake and the convenience of its subsequent service. The technological hole in the wall for the laying of communications passes a few centimeters below the lower part of the unit for the possibility of draining condensed moisture from the pallet of the indoor unit. At the same time, communications are hidden in a decorative plastic box with a section of 40x40 mm with a slope of 2-3%. In air conditioners with a capacity of up to 5-6 kW, power is usually supplied to the indoor unit of the air conditioner, the length of the power cable is 1.5-2 m (except for some inverter air conditioners and air conditioners with a cooling capacity of more than 6 kW, in which the power is supplied to the outdoor unit ). When choosing the location of the indoor unit, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the air flow is not directed towards the permanent presence of people, as this can cause frequent colds and discomfort. The outdoor unit is mounted under the window on brackets so that the upper part of the unit was at the level, or slightly below the window sill. The assembled blocks are connected by copper insulated pipelines and an inter-block electrical cable. From the indoor unit, a drainage pipe is led out to remove condensate. Upon completion of the installation work on the installation of the air conditioner, a mandatory stage is the vacuuming of the system with a vacuum pump. After vacuuming the circuit, the system must stand for 15 to 30 minutes under vacuum to check the freon circuit for tightness, and only after there is confidence in the tightness of the installed system, the release of freon in the main system is carried out. The final stage is checking the operation of the air conditioner in all possible modes.
Summing up, let's briefly consider what consumables and works are are included in the standard installation of the air conditioner.
Consumables that include standard installation:
1. Freon pipeline (copper pipe) with K-Flex insulation - up to 3 meters;
2. Interblock electric cable 4x1.5 - up to 5 meters;
3. PVC pipe for draining condensate - up to 2 meters;
4. Bracket for installing the external unit of air conditioner type K1 – 1 pair;
5. White decorative plastic box 40x40 mm - up to 1 meter (as needed);
6. White decorative plastic box 16x16 mm - up to 2 meters (as needed);
7. Fastening materials;
Works:
1. Installation of the external unit of the air conditioner;
2. Installation of the internal unit of the air conditioner;
3. Making one technological hole in the wall up to 60 cm thick for laying communications;
4. Laying of the freon line, electric inter-block cable and pipe for discharge condensate;
5. Vacuuming the system with a vacuum pump;
6. Checking the system in all possible operating modes and commissioning it.
Installation of the air conditioner in two stages.
This type of installation work is necessary if in the room where it is planned install an air conditioner, repair works are carried out and work is carried out in one visit impossible In this case, at the first stage, the laying of inter-block communications is carried out and, if desired, installation of an external unit. Upon completion of repair work in the premises
– the indoor unit is mounted, the system is vacuumed and everyone is checked for operability possible modes. It can also be noted that during the installation of the air conditioner in two stages, in in most cases, communications that are located in the premises are hidden in the strobe, which deprives installation of plastic boxes and gives the room a more aesthetic appearance. Otherwise, this species installation work will be no different from the standard installation of an air conditioner.
