Air conditioning has now become an essential household appliance for every household, but adjusting water leakage in use time and space is also one of the common problems, so what should I do in case of air conditioning water leakage? Let's take a look at what causes the leakage of air conditioner and how to solve it?
Why does the air conditioner drip
The air conditioning compressor compresses the refrigerant, expands it through the valve to release heat, and the temperature of the refrigerant decreases. Then the refrigerant flows into the indoor evaporator, absorbs the heat of the indoor air through the contact between the evaporator and the indoor air, compresses it and expands again. In this way, it circulates back and forth, taking away the heat of the indoor air a little. The water vapor in the air will turn into water when encountering the evaporator with very low temperature, which explains the reason why the air conditioner leaks water.
Water is precipitated from the air. The evaporation temperature of the liquid medicine in the evaporator of the air conditioner is about 67 degrees. When the wind in the room is lower than the dew point temperature, it will condense on the coil and drip continuously. Air conditioning not only reduces the temperature of the room air, but also removes excess moisture, otherwise the temperature will drop and the relative humidity will rise, which will affect human comfort.
Enjoying the cool and comfortable air conditioning in hot weather is undoubtedly a pleasant thing, but many netizens reflect that the air conditioning will drip during use. What should I do? Let's take a look at the causes and solutions of air conditioning dripping.
Causes and solutions of dripping water from air conditioner - water leakage of indoor unit of air conditioner
1. Cause 1 of air conditioning water leakage: the indoor unit is offset
The indoor unit is not firmly installed, resulting in displacement, and the indoor unit fixing hanging plate is not firmly installed and fixed, resulting in displacement over a long time, resulting in the high position of the leading out side of the drainage pipe, resulting in difficulty in drainage; The horizontal position of the indoor unit body is improperly installed, the horizontal position of the indoor unit is installed obliquely, and the direction of the pipe intersection is too high, resulting in the obstruction of dew condensation water discharge.
Solution: move the air conditioner, recalibrate the air conditioner position with an ordinary liquid level, balance or lower one end of the condensate pipe outlet of the air conditioner as far as possible.
2. Cause 2 of air conditioning water leakage: dew on piping
As the insulation material on the pipeline is too poor or too thin, or not completely wrapped, condensation will be caused when the refrigerant in the pipe passes through.
Solution: This is our common indoor piping dripping phenomenon. When this phenomenon occurs, we should first remove the adhesive tape to check whether the thermal insulation material is aging or properly installed. If there is a gap or thin phenomenon, we can wrap it again. At the same time, the aging adhesive tape can be replaced to maintain the tightness of the copper pipe.
3. Cause 3 of air conditioning water leakage: the drainage pipe is poor or blocked
Due to the aging, relaxation or bending of the drainage pipe into a wave shape, the drainage is not smooth, and it is also easy to cause the dripping phenomenon of the air conditioner. Secondly, the drainage pipe leading out of the room is blocked artificially or the drainage outlet is blocked by stolen goods, resulting in that the dewing water cannot be discharged. Or the drain is blocked by stolen goods, resulting in the inability to discharge dewed water.
Solution: if the drain pipe is aging or loose, replace the drain pipe. If it is blocked by dirt, just clean it up.
4. Cause 4 of air conditioning water leakage: water dripping from heat exchanger
Too dirty heat exchanger will cause poor drainage of air conditioner. At this time, a large amount of water will accumulate on the blades of indoor unit and drip. Or the uneven temperature of the heat exchanger caused by insufficient refrigerant of the air conditioner will also produce dripping.
Solution: to clean the heat exchanger, you can wash it with a commercially available cleaning agent, gently brush it with a wool brush, or turn on a high-power electric hair dryer to blow away the dust. Of course, if it is a refrigerant problem (which can be measured by the pressure gauge), you can only ask professionals to add refrigerant.
Causes and solutions of dripping water from air conditioner - dripping water from outdoor unit of air conditioner
Cause: when the compressor is working, it will produce cold work, and when the refrigerant is compressed to produce cold work, it will discharge cold work outward. Therefore, the surface temperature of the pipeline and condenser transmitting cold refrigerant is very low. The atmosphere is rich in saturated water vapor, which has the characteristics of cooling and will be liquefied into water, so there is the phenomenon of "dripping" from external machines,
Solution: the dripping of external machine is a normal phenomenon. This problem can be solved by connecting the drainage pipe to the sewer pipe, or collecting the water in a container for watering flowers, mopping the floor, etc.
Dripping of outdoor unit of air conditioner is normal. There are many reasons for indoor unit dripping. Users need to be careful to distinguish and apply the right medicine to solve the problem of air conditioning dripping, so as to be cool and comfortable in summer.
