Split Air Conditioning Maintenance
Achieving a good operation of air conditioning is, in principle, quite simple. For the Split air conditioner to release cold or heat, it is based on a refrigeration process that is hermetically closed and in which different changes of state of the refrigerant, better known as gas, take place. In this process, the “gas” refrigerant constantly changes from a liquid to a gaseous state. And it is what makes it possible to have the room cool or warm. For this reason, it is important that the "gas" refrigerant reaches the determined temperatures without there being many variations in them so that the previous states occur without any alteration
How to perform proper maintenance of the Split system?
Taking into account the above information, we can deduce that in order for our Split air conditioning equipment to function correctly and not present breakdowns or temperature variations, it is of the utmost importance to have both exchanges clean, and this is achieved simply with good maintenance . of our split system.
But what are exchangers? These are the so-called "radiators" that have fairly thin sheets that can be seen in the indoor unit when removing the filters and that both units have. The indoor unit (evaporator) and the outdoor unit (condenser). Hence the importance of keeping the filters clean and free of any dirt.
Next, we are going to explain which parts of the Split air conditioner are the ones that normally have to be checked.
Filters and Cleaning
One of the most important things is cleaning the filters of the indoor unit for the proper functioning of the Split air conditioner. We must not forget that the outdoor unit does not have filters and for that reason, we talk about the indoor unit. Once we have the cleaning of the exchangers ready, the whole process has not been finished. In order to carry out good maintenance of the Split air conditioner, it will not be enough just to clean it, we must also disinfect it.
Despite the fact that disinfection is carried out by very few people, it is something that we must take into account since air conditioners turn out to be a rich source of bacteria. For this reason, if the air conditioning smells bad, we already know what the problem is. The easiest way when maintaining Split air conditioning or cleaning the filters would be to clean it with a compressed air compressor and hit all parts of the exchanger. But not all of us have a compressed air compressor and we must resort to the option of cleaning with a brush or brush and go through all the cracks.
We must keep in mind that, for no reason, we should use something sharp, because if by bad luck we puncture the exchanger, maintenance could be very expensive. In the event that we puncture it, we run the risk of the refrigerant leaking and we will have no choice but to call a technician, and we will not only pay for the visit but also for the repair and gas recharge.
Disinfect the evaporator
The issue of bacteria is not a game and that is why we must disinfect the internal exchanger. But how?. For this, we need a water sprayer, where we will put a jet of bleach into it (10% will suffice) and the rest water. Next, we will spray the entire exchanger with the mixture that we have prepared. This way we can disinfect the Split air conditioning evaporator without much effort.
In case of applying a lot of water, we should not worry, since just below the exchanger is the drain tray. With this simple procedure and the previous one (filter cleaning), we will be able to prevent the air conditioning unit from having a bad smell when it is working.
*Important note: Using the water that comes out of the air conditioning is a big mistake, many people tend to use it for example for the iron, because they tend to think that it is distilled water and it is not. Even the same usually has a lot of crap since many bacteria tend to be produced within the exchanger process.
If we have carried out the previous steps, we can be sure that we have already achieved quite effective air conditioning maintenance. When talking about the proper functioning of a Split air conditioner, we are talking about a system that does not lack gas, since the circuit is closed and hermetic. In the event of a lack of gas, it is because there is a leak in the device. A gas leak is a rather difficult matter to find, not only for a person without much knowledge but also for a technician.
How often should we perform maintenance?
If what we want is for our air conditioning to last us a long time and to have a fairly long useful life, we have to give love to our device. That means that we must at least do maintenance once a year. And if it were possible, it would be much better if we could do it with every change of operation. That is to say, each time the change is made in the air conditioning process: from cold to heat or from heat to cold. In this way, we will ensure the perfect operation.
Steps for good maintenance
outdoor unit - Verification of the state of the equipment supports. - Eliminate all obstructions to the airflow. - Clean the dust from the grid with a wide brush.
Indoor unit - Remove the filters to clean them. - Clean under the filters. - Also clean the tube and the tray that collects the water. - Apply bactericides if necessary. - Check the operation of the control thermostats.
Possible problems that the Split air conditioner can have if it is not properly maintained:
Water leaks from the front of the indoor unit.
Water leak from the cold water outlet.
It cools but it does not do it with all the necessary power, but little by little.
It usually works normally, but no air comes out of the turbine.
The compressor does not start and the air conditioning does not cool.
Its remote control is damaged.
The fan motor breaks down and some of its mechanical parts must be changed.
Among others...
If it does present any of these problems, it may be because we did not do any type of maintenance to the device, or we have simply done it incorrectly. So it is possible that some kind of fault appears. In this case, we must understand that we need the help of a professional or qualified person who can fix the problem for us.
We all know that as with many other things in our lives, if the Split air conditioner is not properly maintained, the useful time will be drastically reduced in many cases. And in the case of the Split air conditioning, it was not going to be less. Split air requires our attention after its installation. To be able to do good maintenance, you don't have to do anything special, nor do we have to be experts or have specific knowledge. It is something easy to do as long as we are not talking about industrial air conditioning. If this is the case, it is advisable to contact a professional directly, since technical knowledge is required for this.
