How to install floor air conditioning

Air-conditioner on wheels is an amazing invention of modern engineers, such a mobile unit can create a comfortable environment in any room. It can be used immediately after purchase and unpacking from the container: the installation process of the mobile air conditioner does not take a lot of time, and the outlet pipe can be installed permanently or simply brought out of the slightly open window.

Design

With the onset of heat, some users remember that they have not yet bothered to purchase and install an air conditioner in the apartment. As an option, consider a mobile air conditioner - it is made in the form of a volumetric monoblock, inside of which is enclosed the entire original mechanism. Each such product has corrugated duct hosewhich must be brought out to remove the warm air mass from the room. Because of the solid mass, which directly depends on the power of the portable product, it would be rather difficult to move it, but the designers supplied the robust case with small wheels.

The main advantage of such a product is mobility, it can be moved around the rooms, taken to the dacha, and it will clearly carry out the functions assigned to it there. Installing a floor-mounted air conditioner is simple: any home master can handle it. The device is equipped with a timer with various programs, remote control. This invention in its functionality resembles a miniature split system, which has two main modes: cooling and heating. The sound impact level of all models is very low, they are simple to use and are quite economical.

Some advanced models have the ability to ventilate the room, dehumidify humid air, its ionization and many other functions, but their price increases significantly.

Feel free to carefully examine all the basic technical data and select the productwhich is most suitable for your needs and corresponds to the dimensions of the premises where it is supposed to install a floor-mounted air conditioner The exhaust air hose must be free to be placed, no kinks and twistsso as not to impede the free flow of air. You can display it in a specially prepared place on the window frame or a slightly open window transom. At the end of such a corrugated hose a special protective nozzle is installed.

Installation Features

In order to properly install a mobile air conditioner, a certain skill is needed, although there is not so much work here as when installing a window or wall air conditioner. Immediately it is necessary to consider what type of fastening of the discharge hose to use: permanent with a tie-in window unit or temporary, in order to use a slightly open window for output. If you intend to move the air conditioner around the apartment to create a cool atmosphere everywhere, then a temporary conclusion will do for you.

Some models are sold with the factory already designed output unit at the end of the hose, users only need to make a similar opening and connect the hose to the window unit.

To install the candy bar in the room you will need:

• a sheet of durable plastic with a thickness of at least 10 mm to create a barrier between the outside and the inside air in the opening, where the hose outlet will be installed permanently;
• hacksaw for cutting solid metal-plastic window design;
• Special construction tape for fixing the cut out area in a plastic window.

To create reliable tightness, it is necessary to miss the edges of the sheet. sealant on silicone or process after installation with foam.

Training

Before you install a mobile air conditioner, you must carefully consider the entire plan of action and draw a diagram of the most effective placement of the device. Then be sure to consult with professional masters in the maintenance of such systems, showing them their scheme.

All manufacturers advise to install the product in close proximity to the window opening, which contributes to the effective and complete conditioning of the entire premises in the prescribed mode.

The most time-consuming work when installing a mobile air conditioner is to make an insert for the window opening correctly. It is desirable that it does not spoil the exterior of your window. There is a great technique using organic glasswhich cannot be distinguished at a distance from an ordinary glass block. It is no secret that not everyone can make a round hole in glass, for this one must have not only experience, but also a special diamond tool, which is very expensive.

Important! This stage of preparation is very responsible, so all measurements are carried out carefully and checked several times.

The kit for floor air conditioning includes inserts for installation on the window, which can be fixed with glue or clamping ring - The second option is much more convenient.

Making an insert with your own hands

We offer a unique version of the insert, which can be transferred from room to room when you need to cool all the rooms to the desired temperature. The whole trick is that for this we will use standard insect screenWith which any kind of plastic windows is completed.

1. We carefully remove the grid itself, after removing the rubber seal, but only after installing the plexiglass so that the delicate contour does not bend, carefully measure the opening and transfer them to the plexiglass sheet.
2. We apply the contour of the future window with the help of sharp awls, the work is responsible and requires the hardness of the hand - the line should be clear, without repeated lines that will be visible from the outside during installation.
3. It is necessary to cut from two sides, and then just break off the intended sheet. Now carefully we clean the cutting places from irregularities with a mounting knife and sanding cloth.
4. Determining the installation location of the duct, draw the contour of the required holes. Cutting a round hole is quite difficult, but here we need it. electric chisel. The interior is also carefully processed to avoid burrs.
   
5. On the entire perimeter of the sheet against the frame, we clean the surface with coarse sandpaper in order to give it a roughness for better adhesion, then degrease and wipe dry with a clean rag.
6. For bonding, we use a special adhesive or sealant based on silicone for outdoor work so that when exposed to sunlight it does not lose its properties. Gently apply the bonding compound, then apply a sheet of plexiglass on it, press it down with something heavy for a clear bond.
   

7. After the final drying of the sealant, turn the resulting structure over and remove the mesh together with the rubber seal.
8. Carefully insert the compactor in its place, and instead of weak plastic handles, we install more durable ones, since we will rearrange the whole structure more than once, and it has become a bit heavier.
9. Install the resulting structure and fix it metal corners for durability and reliability. We attach the duct hose - it turned out a system that does not spoil the appearance of the window either from the inside or outside.

Installation of floor air conditioning is completed, you can now turn on the product in the network and enjoy the cool. The whole process can be viewed on the video:

Floor and ceiling models

These include floor-to-ceiling air conditioners, the installation of which differs only in that they can be located on the wall near the floor or under the ceiling. Otherwise, they are not much different from other split systems in their performance.

The main technical differences from other models of household air conditioners are as follows.

1. Versatility - location in any convenient place for users.From the type of location, the optimal direction of the cooled air flow is selected.
2. Small size, therefore, can be installed in any, even the smallest in size premises. Their internal blocks are much smaller than those of split systems, besides this, they are thinner but longer than those of other models of wall mounted air conditioners.
   
3. Pretty high performance - in no way inferior to wall models, and the efficiency of the heat exchanger and the fan is identical to the more expensive split-system samples.
4. The main tasks assigned to these systems are cooling and heating the air, depending on the season. In addition, they perform a rough cleaning of the air mass from impurities and its ionization.
5. Sound impact level on the surrounding is very small, the most powerful models of floor-ceiling products have no more than 34 dB, and the quiet atmosphere in any library is 40 dB.
