Installation of the air conditioner in the residential room has its own characteristics. In order for this climate machinery to work most effectively, it is important to install competently. Not less important suitable power. The main parameter for calculations is road volume. But it matters and the side of the light on which the windows overlook. So, if it's south, the room will be a priori warmer than in a similar area, but with windows to the north. Therefore, you should choose a device by 30% more powerful. Low-power air conditioner even with proper installation It will not be able to fully cope with the function assigned to it.

What to start?

So, there is a suitable air conditioner. What's next?

  • selection of installation time;
  • choosing a place of installation;
  • selecting the installation method.

Most often, split systems are installed in the apartments consisting of an internal (evaporator) and an external (condenser) blocks. They are connected to each other with a tube in which there are wires and freon. Recently, the popularity of the device with two internal blocks operating autonomously from each other is facilitating the installation of the air conditioning system in adjacent rooms.

The optimal time to install the air conditioner is not spring or summer, but repair time.

From the shield of electrical wiring for the air conditioner, it is necessary to carry out a separate line, and if you do it in the process of repair, the wires can be successfully disguised. Yes, and the preparation of the opening for the freon tube is the work, in the literal sense, dusty. Because if there are repairs in the near future, with the installation of the air conditioner it is better to wait.

How to install an external block

The installation of the air conditioner always starts from the installation of the condenser. Based on the weight of the external unit, the brackets are selected that can withstand such a load. The brackets must be fixed not to the insulation or the lining of the house, but directly to the wall - a solid base.

To protect the device from precipitation, it is recommended to cover it with a visor. This is not necessarily, but such a measure to extend the capacity of the device. If the air conditioner is on one of the first two floors, it will not be superfluous to make a metal grid-cell for it - it will protect the device from theft.

According to the rules for installing this type of climate machinery, the drainage tube, departing from the external block, should be output into the sewer.

Placing an external block under the window

In practice, in our homes, especially multi-story, it is impossible, because the tubes leave freely hanging. But the sound of the dripping condensate may not really like the neighbors living below. And this is natural - the knock of the droplets about the windowsill over time only distracts and annoys. If you want to keep a good relationship with your neighbors (as well as your nerves that can go to find out who is right), it is worth forexing this moment.

Installing an external air conditioner unit on the balcony

Optimal output - lengthen the drainage tube so that drops from it drops along the wall along the line, where there are no window openings or balcony structures. Do not forget about the alternative option - application.

Where is better to place the internal block

The distance of honey to the blocks is directly liquidate the power loss of the device. Consequently, the less distance, the more productively the air conditioning works.

It is for this reason that the internal unit is preferably installed on the same wall as an external one or close to it as much as possible.

It is important to remember that air conditioners:

Sometimes the most convenient option seems to be laying the air conditioner over the cabinet - no one will see it there. But, first, it will impede the normal operation of the device, and secondly, every time you start the air conditioner, all the dust from the surface will be shifted down, and people will breathe. Because this option is not so good, as it seems at first glance.

ImportantSo that free access is provided to the indoor unit of the air conditioner. This will not only provide higher performance, but will allow you to brush the device in a timely manner.

Sometimes the inner block is striving to post behind the curtains or lambrequins - so as not to attract unnecessary attention. Of course, it may not approach the exquisite interior design, but such a disguise prevents productive air cooling.

It is better to spend a little more time to choose an air conditioner, and find such a model whose evaporator will be harmonized with the interior.

Protective screen reflector for air conditioner - prevents direct cold air to man

Modern manufacturers offer various options - from concise classics to very bold solutions, up to, because the search is necessarily crowned with success.

How to install an internal block

Actually, the principle of its installation is similar to the principle of installing an external block. First, the appropriate place is selected, then the brackets are attached to the wall, and the evaporator itself is installed. With the only difference that before installing the inner block, a hole for the freon tube is prepared.

After that, the internal and external block is connected and the air conditioner connects to the network. The smaller the bends at the tube, the more effectively the air is displayed, which means that the device works more productively.

Council. At the end of the installation, it is necessary to check the air conditioner for performance.

For this there are special test programs that allow you to determine whether the system is installed correctly.

Is it worth making an independent installation?

The principle of installation of the air conditioner is generally simple, but the details are very important. So, it is necessary that both blocks are installed smoothly - without distortion. Otherwise, the condensate accumulation is possible and, as a result, the ambulance of the device.

In addition, in some companies, a wider guarantee is provided if the installation makes their qualified specialist, which is understandable: it will not have any doubts in the wrong installation as a probable cause of the unit breakdown. However, a detailed description of how this device should be installed to any air conditioner in the instruction. Because if there is an insurmountable desire to perform the work independently - this is quite real.

True, there may be difficulties with the search tool in order to install the brackets and drill a hole for the freon tube. Yes, and on the floors above the first is not so, and simply install the external block: insurance is needed. Specialists with this will not have any problems - all equipment is included, they know how to use it, make it quickly and efficiently.

- It is real, but to entrust the installation of specialists - more efficiently.

Properly installed air conditioner does not publish outsided sounds. It requires only preventive cleansing one or twice a year - in spring or in spring and autumn, depending on the intensity of use, as well as refueling by Freon once every two years.

For many, the air conditioner has become simply indispensable. It creates a comfortable microclimate indoor when the heat behind the window. But this is possible only if it is installed correctly.

Installing the air conditioner should begin with the selection of space for installation. In fact, everything is not easy. We must consider:

So you have to solve a comprehensive task, trying to satisfy all requirements and recommendations. Only in this case the installation of the air conditioner will be successful.

Let's start with the simplest: choosing the place of placement in terms of convenience of use. The internal unit must be placed so that the cooled air spread across the room, but did not get directly on the bed, the desktop, chair. In principle, you can redirect the stream with moving blinds, but it is much better to think about it.

The most correct solution is the solution to place air conditioning above the headboard, above or side from the table. In this case, the flow of cold air will "contend" the place of recreation or work, which is much more comfortable and less dangerous to health.

In addition, there are technical points that must be foreseen before the installation of the air conditioner is started with their own hands. The internal block is connected to the outer path with the highway and control cable. The outputs for connecting the track are on the right (if you look at the front block), but they can be cared in such a way that they are left or below. These outputs are a copper tube with a length of 30 cm.

Outputs from the outer block of the Splitsesthem (rear view)

It is connected to the track (soldering or collapse), and the connection site must be available for service. Because this section of the track in the wall (in the stroke) is not hiding, but are closed with a decorative box. At the same time, the track can be placed in different ways - depending on what wall the internal unit was hung and where the outer block is located in relation to it.

Block on the left of the outer wall

If the inner block is located on the left of the outer wall, and the tracks goes smoothly, minimum distance From the wall to the block - 500 mm (1 picture in the photo). It can be reduced to 100 mm if the track is wrapped on the adjacent wall, but its total length should not be less than 500 mm. If this is not possible, you can remove the taps to the left and put the pipes in the stroke (drawing on the right). In this case, this is possible, since the location of the conclusions and the route is obtained under the cover of the case, so it is available for repair and maintenance.

If the outer walls of the building can not pull cables, pipes, etc. (so as not to spoil appearance), I'll have to lay the entire track indoors. Less spending option - to hold it in the corner, closing with special boxes. This location is convenient, since then you can close the box with curtains.

The second option is more labor cost (the stroke is more complicated), but from the aesthetic side a more winble - this is a conclusion to translate to the left sidebar and put everything into the remission.

On the wall to the right of the outdoor

This option can be called typical - this is a standard solution when choosing such a location. Most often, the track in the box is removed directly into the wall, but if necessary, it can be omitted in the corner (also closing the box).

If necessary, you can put it in the stroke (the connection site is in the housing). If the track can not be conducted outside the building, you can put it in the stroke indoors. The route may be similar to the last two photos in the previous chapter.

Where to determine the outer block

In fact, this is not the simplest task - to choose a place for the outdoor unit. Not all buildings are allowed to place them on the walls. In this case, there are only two outputs: set the outer block split system in a specially reserved place - air conditioning. If there is no such room, only a balcony or loggia remains. In such buildings, they are usually glazed, because the location of the block does not affect the appearance.

But in this case, it is necessary to provide a system for cooling the equipment and the removal of the exhaust air. If the balcony is spacious enough, at all time its work open windows to ventilating or ensuring fresh air access in any other way. The output is simple and understandable, but leads to overheating of the equipment, and this is fraught with breakdowns and frequent replacement of the damaged outdoor unit.

Installation on the balcony - sometimes the only way out

A little corrected position can install fans for more active air exchange. It is right to harm a small room, to make effective ventilation in it, separate ventilation channels on the lead and air supply. And they must be separate. This is done using air ducts that are displayed instead of the glazing. In general, in this case, the installation of the air conditioner is your own hands - the problem task is precisely in terms of ensuring the normal conditions of the equipment.

On the balcony or loggia

If there are no prohibitions on the placement of extraneous devices on the walls of the building, usually the outer air conditioner block is hanging on the balcony fence (side or front) or on the wall, but so that it is possible to reach it for service - wash, clean, check, fix it.

If the balcony is glazed, the window should be opened above it. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to serve it. To protect against precipitation and items that may fall from the window, a visor is placed above the block. The choice of materials is something similar to the trim of a balcony or a white plastic visor, but only a full one. The hollow and metal (including professional flooring and metal tile) is better not to use, since during the rain they turn into a drum, and during the hare can be stunned at all.

If the block is put on the loggia, only the one that in the picture on the right is left above the options above. Near the wall it is inconvenient, except under the window, but it already belongs to another section.

Another point: how to spend the track - on the ceiling or on the floor? It will be necessary to stick in that and in another case, but in the case of the floor it is possible, you will make it from the boards, then the pipes and cables connecting the outer and internal block can be paved on the surface, but better - in the box.

Under or near the window

In those rooms, where there is no balcony or loggia, the external part of the splitsystem is hung on the wall outside. It is more convenient if it is under the window or side of it. And under or next to the opening part. In this case, it is possible to maintain the climbers without calling.

When installing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, with your own hands on the wall next to the window, think about the height of its installation. You can arrange the top surface of the block to the upper edge of the window. In this case, leaning out of the window and insured, it will be possible to carry out work on the windowsill. The second option is the lower edge to align in the lower boundary of the window opening. Here it will be possible to lie down the stomach on the window sill, but it will not be possible to get to the exit location. That is, nevertheless will have to cause industrial climbers.

What is required to install the air conditioner do it yourself

Those who mount and connect split systems professionally, to work, on average, takes hours. The cost of this service is considerable, but it is explained by the need to use expensive equipment. Good devices are really worth a lot, but many of them can be replaced with a simpler or rent. The only thing that will be difficult to find is a vacuum pump. It is really expensive equipment, but there is a technology that allows you to do without it. This is exactly what some installers do, who have such equipment simply no - they simply blend part of the freon, cleaning the pipes. This method can be used when installing a split system.

Necessary equipment and what can be replaced

What you need to install the air conditioner with your own hands successful? First of all, you need some set of tools. With their help, the case will go faster. But if there is no special toolkit, it can be replaced by the adaptations easier. With them, work will take more time, but if you try, it will not affect this. So, it is necessary to mount the split system:

  • Powerful perforator. In the outer wall of the house or building it is necessary to make a through hole through which is derived copper pipes And cables connecting internal and outdoor blocks. Also, a drainage tube is derived through this hole, for the removal of condensate and excess moisture during moisture normalization. The perforator is not such a big rarity, the only thing that may cause difficulties - selection of the necessary nozzles. But this is the case of technology.
  • Truborez with a sharp blade. Blocks Split systems are connected with copper pipes. They are sold in the bays, because they will have to cut into pieces of the desired length. If the blade is stupid, the edges of the pipe will be locked or will be uneven, with jarbrins. This will have to correlate with a file and a roman (a special device for removing burr). Truboresis can be replaced with a metal blade with a metal blade, and to level the edges and eliminate burrs with a file (Nadfil), finally treated the edge to the smoothness of sandpaper. Only when you work, make sure that the machined hole is directed down. So inside the pipe does not fall copper dust (it can damage the insides of the air conditioner, so it is very important).
  • Pipe bender or spring. To give copper pipes the desired form.
  • Drill with drills of different diameter. It is necessary to do the holes for the mounting plate of the inner block and the corners to install the exterior.
  • Roller and calibrator for copper pipes. This device, of course, is specific, but it is a bit.
  • Stroboresis. When laying the track in the stroke (groove in the wall), this device significantly accelerates and simplifies work. But you can do the usual bit and the hammer / sledgehammer.

Well, as they said earlier, a vacuum pump is needed for high-quality starting system. It is not necessary to replace it, the only way - on the tracks up to 6 meters long to release part of the freon (method "PSHICK").

In addition, you will need screwdrivers, hexagon keys, level, hammer, perhaps some other tools, but they usually have in the farm or easy to find them.

Materials and consumables

In addition to the tools for installing the air conditioner, you will need a certain amount of materials. Without many of them, do not do.


As you can see, installing the air conditioner with your own hands requires serious training. Not only special tools, but also specific materials are needed.

Installation of blocks

If you want to do everything correctly, the installation of the air conditioner should begin with a careful study of the instruction. For the most part, they are similar, but allowances, requirements for the cross section of the cable, the length of the track, etc. may differ. Another plus from reading Manual - you will define exactly in what order work. In general, this is what needs to be done:


This is the first stage of self-installation of the air conditioner. We will put the track further.

Connection blocks

Outdoor and internal blocks of split systems are connected by two copper tubes and cable. Also, the drainage tube is displayed. All these communications can be laid on the wall on the wall, and then they fit into a special box. The second option is in the stroke and then you need to make the manufacturer of the groove, which will connect two blocks. But, first of all, you need to drill a hole in the wall. This is done after installing fasteners for blocks. And only after that the installation of the air conditioner continues with your own hands.


When laying in a plastic box, all communications are associated with one bundle. This can be tied up, but more often wedged with a metallized scotch - to further reduce heat transfer from copper pipes.

Connecting copper pipes

We have already connected the cable earlier, and the installation of the air conditioner is completed with your own hands with the connection of copper pipes, drainage. With drainage easier. At the bottom of the indoor unit there is a conclusion, that's where the hose or pipe is inserted. The location of the connection can be additionally sealing using the Plumbing Fuma tape. Also for sealing can use silicone sealant.

Next, connect copper tubes. We start in the indoor unit. Two ports are derived on the side wall - one with larger diameter fittings, the second is smaller. Which of them start - no matter. The procedure for such:


Actually everything is already connected, but it is necessary to have vacuuming or simply remove moisture and air from the working bodies of the air conditioner.

Vacuuming

Why hold this procedure? During installation, air hit the system, there are also argon remains there. It is necessary to delete this mixture, otherwise it will significantly reduce the operating resource of the equipment. Naturally, it is better if there are special equipment. But, in the extreme case, you can do without it.

In the presence of a vacuum pump

If there is a vacuum pump, everything is somewhat easier. It usually goes two pressure gauges (low and high pressure) on them you can track down the pressure drop in the system, that is, to identify leaks. A vacuum pump is connected to the outlet block with a spool (filling port), turns on 15-20 minutes. During this time, it removes air and nitrogen residues from the system.

After this time, the pump is disconnected, but do not disconnect, but leave connected for another 20-30 minutes. All this time must be observed for testimony of pressure gauges. If they changed, there is a leakage in the system. Most likely - this is the place of connecting copper tubes and need to resettle them. If the testimony of the pressure gauges is stable, without turning off the pump, we fully open the valve that is at the bottom. Freon begins to learn from the block, filling the system (noise). We wear gloves and quickly unscrew the vacuum pump hose (Freon can damage the skin). After disconnecting the equipment, open the valve on the track at the top (the outputs of a smaller diameter). Now the installation of the air conditioner is finished with your own hands. You can turn on.

Without a vacuum pump

With the length of the route up to 5 meters, the installation of the air conditioner can be carried out without a vacuum pump. To purify the equipment there will be some amount of freon, but in a different way. The procedure for such:


And in this case, the installation of the air conditioner is completed with their own hands and the equipment is ready to work. But in this case, the tightness of the system is not checked and the freon can slowly disappear, and some air and argon remains in the system. In general, the decision is not perfect.

Have you bought a split system and are already preparing pleasure from a pleasant microclimate in your home? This article will help to avoid disappointment, which is highly likely to expect a consumer who does not understand where the air conditioner can be installed and where it is impossible. According to statistics, many buyers weigly suit the selection of climatic equipment. Before buying, they consult with professionals, carefully analyze the features of models of different manufacturers, select the parameters for the characteristics of their apartment or at home. But, unfortunately, not all buyers pay due attention to a qualified installation of climatic equipment. At this stage, many seek to save and order installation from private installers or make such work on their own. At the same time, attention is completely not focused, where to install air conditioning.This approach can not only reduce the efficiency of air conditioning, but also lead to a rapid failure of expensive equipment.

After reading this article, you can avoid unpleasant mistakes and choose the best place For climate techniques, which will help create a great microclimate in your home, office or apartment.

Where better to install air conditioning in the apartment

Before mounting the split system, it is necessary to carefully choose the installation location. Building construction on which you plan to install the internal unit must have a stereness reserve that allows you to withstand the weight of the device. In addition, the installation point should be located not far from the location of the outdoor unit. Another criterion that should be considered to correctly install air conditioning is aesthetic considerations (you need to take into account the features of the room and interior design).

Risk zone. When installing the air conditioner, it is necessary to consider that the air flow from the block grid will divert three meters. Cold flows will be concentrated on this site before dispelling throughout the volume of the room. Choosing where to install air conditioning in the apartment, it is necessary to envisage that in the zone of cold air there are no objects intended for work or rest people. To prevent the disease caused by cold air flow, you need to take care, so that in the flow zone people are not for a long time. Those. The installation of the air conditioner should not be carried out opposite the bed, sofa, desktop, etc. It is better to establish the internal block of split-system over the place of work or rest, so that the straight flow of the cooled air passes over the sofa or table. But, you should not install air conditioning above the cabinets and other overall objects that will interfere with the normal distribution of cooled air masses throughout the size of the room.

It is necessary to take into account that when people under the direct flow of cold air are only about a quarter of an hour, they will have a deterioration of well-being. This may cause colds. At the same time, the difference in temperature testimony on the street and indoors should not be more than 12 ° C. A greater temperature difference may be adversely affected by health.

Distance between the ceiling and block. To properly install the air conditioner, it should be noted that the distance from the upper edge of the indoor unit and the ceiling must be no less than 15 cm. The fact is that the air intake module is located in the upper part of the device, and the less to the ceiling may interfere with the normal passage of air masses .

Appliances.All types of equipment that emit heat and can interfere with the normal operation of the air conditioner must be maximally removed from the indoor unit. You can not install a split system near the boiler, heating radiators, oven, refrigeration equipment, etc.

Clearance of heat-flow from the window. This principle will be especially relevant if you plan to install air conditioning in a room with windows that come out on the sunny side. For faster cooling of the room, the flow of cooled air from the air conditioner should be perpendicular to the direction of the rays of the sun, which pass through the window glass.

Aesthetics.The internal unit must be installed in such a way that it does not cover the significant elements of the decor and did not violate the overall stylistry of the interior. Professional installation is planned in such a way as not only not to spoil the design of the room, but also emphasize its features. One of the first rules who are guided by experts, suggests that the air conditioner should be avoided directly opposite the entrance to the room.

Where to install a power outlet in the apartment

The most common option for household air conditioners are wall-mounted models that are connected to the 220V network. Uninvertors, the performance of which does not exceed 4kW (seven, nine, etc.) can be included directly into the electrical outlet. In fact, low-power inverter air conditioners can also be connected through a socket, but only subject to a certain phase orientation.

Few, who reflects, placing a small air conditioning in a one-room apartment where to install a socket. Usually it is connected to the nearest split source or "increasing" the wire. Such solutions are not very attractive from aesthetic point of view. On how to install air conditioner, it is better to think even at the repair stage. For this, a separate wire is laid from the installation site to the electrical panel, where a separate connection machine is installed.

If you still decided to install a socket for a split system, then it is necessary to take into account the following requirements:

  • It is impossible to connect other powerful consumers together with the air conditioner.
  • It is necessary to take care of grounding sockets.
  • The supply wire must have a cross section corresponding to the load.
  • Connecting the air conditioner should be protected by a separate machine.

The solution, how and where to install the outlet for the air conditioner depends on the power of climatic equipment. High performance devices create an increased load on the wire of the connection. If you need to connect models from "seven" to the "twelfth air conditioner" that consumes up to 1,4kw, it can quite enough and the good wiring of the old house. But if there is a powerful task of powerful devices, then you must definitely equip a separate connection through the electrical protection. Optimal option Placing the socket for air conditioner - 0.3 m from the ceiling surface.

Where is better to install the outdoor unit of the air conditioner

When placing an outdoor unit, it is necessary to pay attention to the economy of installation, as well as the convenience of further maintenance of equipment (cleaning, repair, etc.). Choosing where to install an external air conditioner unit, pay attention to the following points:

For the safety of equipment, it is impossible to install it close to the ground. If it is not possible to install an outdoor unit in a different way, take measures to prevent hooligan actions and theft of the device. To do this, you can use grilles, alarms, observation chambers, etc.

To prevent the drop in various items on the outdoor unit, you can set protection.

It is impossible to install an outdoor unit near heat sources.

Install the outer unit of the air conditioner is necessary so that the distance to any objects and items was at least 3 meters.

For installation of the outdoor unit, special brackets and anchor bolts prevent vibration are used. If you install an external air conditioner unit with a violation of these requirements, it will be different to the noisy work and can quickly fail.

Where better to install air conditioning in the 1st apartment

For efficient air conditioning, it is not enough to buy powerful equipment. It is necessary to envisage where the air conditioning can be installed in the apartment. From the block, located equidally from other rooms (in the corridor), the flows of warm or cold air will not come to the fullest. At the same time, the hallway will be very cool.

The selection of a high-performance air conditioner will not help solve the problem, since it will continue to function in the "Stop \\ Start" mode, which will eventually lead to the bundle of the compressor.

By what criteria you need to choose the air conditioning system for service one-bedroom apartment And, where in the room install air conditioning? There are several solutions options:

  • install the split system for each room separately;
  • install multi system with one outdoor and two internal location blocks;
  • set the channel equipment (in one-room housing you can use low-pressure equipment).

The disadvantage of the variant with the split system is the presence of 2 blocks in the design of each air conditioner. A more economical and effective solution is to install the channel system. But its minus is the high cost and installation features. For its device, air ducts should be laid, which can be implemented only at a certain height of ceiling structures.

Another minus, which can be expected from the air conditioning channel, is the spread of unpleasant odors in all rooms, since air ducts are placed over the entire area and then distribute it in the same room. This option is attractive for housing with several rooms.

Most economical option - This is the installation of one wall split system, so that the air flow covers the entire area. However, it is necessary to understand that in the room where the air conditioning is, the air will be colder. The temperature difference between the room or says the hallway will be different.

If it is decided to install a wall-mounted model in the kitchen, then it should not be mounted near the stove, as it will interfere with the burning of the burners. This rate does not apply to houses with electric stoves.

Where better to install air conditioning in the 2nd apartmentse.

To establish climate equipment in a 2-bedroom apartment worth choosing the largest room. The air cooled in it with this placement is evenly distributed through other premises. If you choose to install an air conditioner hallway or room with a small area, then the chilled air distribution will be uneven. At the same time, the cooled air will be concentrated in the hallway, and it will not come to long-room rooms.

If you do not yet know where to install air conditioning in a two-room apartment, then you need to carefully examine the plan for accommodating the rooms in the apartment. For planning an apartment studio rationally place the air conditioning system in the most great roomBut at the same time it is necessary to take into account the fact that air flows should be directed to the doors of the surrounding rooms.

The strategic place to accommodate the air conditioner in a two-room apartment is the place that is most associated with the rest of the premises. If the central place in the apartment is the living room, from which there is an access to the hallway and the bedroom, then the air conditioner is worth setting in this room. This option will create the most comfortable microclimate in the entire apartment.

not to get sick

There are several most convenient points where you can install air conditioning in the bedroom. Each option has its own positive negative sides:

  • Over headboard bed

If we consider how the distribution of cold air occurs, it turns out that the most comfortable place in the room is under air conditioning. The cold air flow is directed to the opposite wall, where cooled air masses accumulate, and therefore here are the lowest temperature indicators. A place in front of the air conditioner, at a distance of 2.5 to 4 meters, is considered the most uncomfortable and dangerous to health, since the flow of cold air strive to go there.

  • Opposite the bed

If you are looking for a place where to install air conditioning in the bedroom, you can say that opposite the bed, this is not the most successful option. The air conditioner installed opposite the bed will send the flow of cold air to the opposite wall, from which it repels and hits the head of sleeping people. As a result, it creates not only discomfort during sleep, but also cause harm to health. By purchasing a bedroom air conditioner, many buyers have no idea where to hang it. They cannot decide where to install the inner block - above the headboard, or, on the contrary. In this case, the best option There will be the placement of the inner block over the headboard. At the same time, you need to establish the air conditioner blinds in a horizontal position. Thus, the outgoing flux of the air masses will be directed horizontally and repulse from the opposite wall will evenly distribute over the entire room.

  • Above the door

Installing air conditioning above the door is the most inconspicuous option. It will not be visible at the entrance to the room. Such a location of the split system does not spoil the interior of the room. The equipment will be noticeably only during rest or sleep. Another advantage of the solution to establish air conditioning above the door is the lack of interference for furniture and objects. They can be easily moved if necessary.

The only disadvantage of the solution to establish the inner block above the door is to lay a long route. This affects not only on the quality of the work of the split system, but also on the value of its installation.

  • Across from the door

The installed split system should not break the interior of the room. Designers always provide options for placing the device under which it will be imperceptible or harmoniously fit into the design of the room. Therefore, the solution to install air conditioning opposite the door is considered non-psychic, because when entering the room, the view will be restarted into the split system.

  • Near the window

Can not decide where it is better to install air conditioning in the bedroom? One of the most popular places is located near the window. The main advantages of this location is a short track and proximity of the device to the windows. But with such an air conditioner location, it will not be possible to hang curtains with lambrequins on the window. As a curtain, you can install fasteners under tulle or light curtains, which, when you turn on the air conditioner, you need to constantly move away.

Some options suggest a choice - aesthetics or comfort. With any accommodation, we wish you pleasure from the operation of the climate device.

Where to install air conditioning in the living room

The living room is a room where the whole family is going to leisure and celebrate the celebrations in the circle of friends and relatives. Therefore, first of all, it is precisely in this room that you need to install a split system.

The choice of the air conditioning system and the place for its installation is determined by the size of the room and its design. Split system will harmoniously fit into the interior of the living room, if it is imperceptible to the eyes. Therefore, to install air conditioning opposite the input is not worth it, the optimal places for installation are considered:

  • near a soft corner, chairs or sofas located near the device;
  • over entrance door;
  • near the window, this option is considered ideal for hot sunny days;
  • on the wall, slightly or left from upholstered furniture.

When choosing a model, it is advisable to consider the design of the room. The air conditioner in color scheme can be combined with other technique - a TV, an acoustics system. Split system can be selected according to the main color of the interior. Thus, the air conditioner will not stand out and harmoniously fit into any interior.

Where to install air conditioning in children

Choosing an air conditioner for a nursery, first of all, it is necessary to pay attention to such factors as cleaning the air from dust, microbes and unpleasant odors. Fresh air supply, cooling or heating of the room are also important tasks that can be solved if the conditioning system is properly installed. To mount climatic equipment, parents need to use the following recommendations:

  • do not install air conditioner over letter table Or turn it off during classes.
  • mount the device near the bed can be on the side of the window or from the opposite side.
  • it is not recommended to install air conditioning over furniture or at a distance of 70 cm from it, since the constant blowing of dust contributes to air pollution.

Installing air conditioning in the room of a newborn or small child in such a way that the air masses do not pass over the bed. Cold air can cause a cold, and warm-takes to the constant sweat of the baby. Therefore, the choice best places To accommodate the air conditioner, it is necessary to carry out the recommendations provided by our specialists. If the air conditioner was installed earlier, it is necessary to find another place for the baby's bed.

Where to install air conditioning in the office

The fact that to create a normal microclimate in the office, it is necessary to install the air conditioner know everything. But in order for these air conditioning costs to bring the maximum effect, as well as to prevent employee diseases, it is necessary to correctly arrange climatic equipment in the room. You should exclude direct streams of cold air on people. For this purpose, the internal unit must be installed so that the air flows from it are sent to the passages between the workplaces.

Air conditioners in which the general management of the work of several blocks do not provide high-quality temperature mode. For each person, a comfortable temperature may differ slightly, therefore the option with the installation of individual systems for each room looks more preferable. Thus, it is possible to configure an individual mode for each department, which will significantly reduce the number of complaints from employees.

Powerful computer equipment has long become an indispensable attribute of a modern office. Many companies provide individual premises for the placement of computer equipment - server. These rooms usually lack windows, and the organization of high-quality air conditioning is required. In order to correctly install the air conditioner in the server, it is necessary to take into account all the features of the room (the receipt of fresh air, the presence \\ no heating, the level of humidity, etc.). Based on such data, the selection of climatic equipment is calculated. Installing the air conditioner in the "server" it is necessary so that the cold air does not enter the equipment and people working here. Another point to which attention should be paid is "gardening." All plants also need to be located away from the inner block, as they can badly carry the change in temperature mode.

Radiators and mobile heating devices should also not be in the cooled air receipt area, as this may affect the work of climatic equipment.

Where you can not install air conditioning

Taking over, where to install the air conditioner in the room, you need to find out where it is impossible to perform such installation. The internal block of the split system is not installed:

  • From above heating equipment. If you install the air conditioner over the radiator, then in the offseason, when it is not turned off yet central heating The air conditioning system will work without disconnecting "to wear". This will lead to high costs for electricity and breakage of the split system. In addition, even the air conditioner turned off from heat fluxes can be deformed by the inside block, made of plastic.
  • In rooms intended for the permanent operation of equipment, which produces high-frequency electromagnetic oscillations (drilling equipment, etc.). Such waves can lead to a violation of the conditioner processor settings.
  • Opposite the bed, desktop and other places where people can have a long time (it can cause diseases).
  • In places where there is interference to free circulation of air flows (behind the cabinet, behind the dense curtains, etc.). Installing the air conditioner is necessary so that the nearest obstacle was more than 3 meters. Otherwise, the cold air flow will be reflected from the object, located too close and the temperature sensor will give the command to turn off the compressor, as if the temperature in the room reached the specified value.
  • On an uneven surface. The interchange of the internal unit will lead to a constant condensate flow, which, with a proper unit, is given to a separate container on the simulatory channel.

Where you can not install the outdoor unit:

  • On a fragile, destructive or uneven wall design.
  • In places where the installation is associated with the inflection of the tubes, according to which Freon moves. It is necessary to take into account that when twisting such tubes in the ring with a radius to 10 cm, the compressor will spend more energy to pump freon.

Installation schemes of air conditioners

Scheme number 1-2. The most popular schemes for installing the internal and external block. The inner block is hanging close to the window (right or left), and the external unit is displayed under the window.



Scheme number 3.This installation scheme of the external block is rare enough. Perhaps only when the balcony is described or on an inexpedient balcony.


Scheme number 4.Installation in this way the outer unit is possible when, firstly, the space, and, secondly, the balcony consists of durable materials Whether brick or concrete.


Scheme number 5.Completed installation option of an external unit if the inter-block route passes through the balcony. It is important that there is access to the balcony window, as well as the balcony consisted of durable materials.


Scheme number 6.
Direct installation. The most convenient scheme for installing the indoor and external block. Perform when the external unit is not above the second floor.


Scheme number 7.In this installation scheme, you must take into account the distance between the windows. Windows must open.


Scheme number 8. Direct installation. The most convenient scheme for installing the indoor and external block. Perform when the external unit is not above the second floor. Or apply the services of climbers or autotower.


That's all. We hope that the material was helpful for you.

Air conditioning should be chosen and installed in advance, without waiting for the summer heat. So you can save a considerable amount, especially if you perform. In order for the equipment to work without failures, the installation of the air conditioner should be carried out strictly according to the instructions, in the right place. Inconsistency technical Conditions or wrong selection Details will lead to a quick breakage of the split system.

To establish everything correctly, you should have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe device and the principle of operation of the air conditioner. It consists of a compressor and evaporative block interconnected by tubes. The compressor is mounted on the outside of the wall, and the evaporator is installed indoors. Dear models have not one internal block, but several that are connected to one compressor.

In the evaporative block through the nozzle is fed under high pressure refrigerant. It falls into the chamber of the evaporator, it expands there, boils, and his couples begin to absorb heat intensively. During this process, water condensate is allocated and settled on the radiator of the evaporative unit. From there, the moisture is sent to the tank and on the tube is output outside the building.


All this time, the compressor pumped up the evaporation of the refrigerant from the chamber, increasing the pressure behind the pump. As a result, the refrigerant is heated and the liquid turns into a high density fog. In this state, the refrigerant enters the chamber equipped with a radiator for condensate, cooled by a fan and turns into a liquid again. In this form, it is again fed under pressure in the evaporator nozzle and the workflow is repeated.


The efficiency of the equipment and the consumption of electricity directly depend on the operating conditions. If there is a heating device next to the air conditioner, the compressor consumes and is often out of order. Called a breakdown may also be a common dust that fell inside the system, and therefore it should be carried out regularly and very carefully. You can not put the surface of the block various objects, as well as to cover with anything.

To exclude the evaporation of the refrigerant, when installing, it is necessary to thoroughly seal all the joints and connections. The outer block must be located lower than the internal and as possible in the cooler place. Well, if the block is constantly in the shade of the coating of the roof or walls. Compliance with these conditions will ensure uninterrupted operation of the air conditioner and the comfortable climate in the premises.


Detail of air conditionerDescription
1. Fancreates a stream of air blowing capacitor
2. Condenserthe radiator in which the cooling and condensation of freon occurs. Blowing through the condenser air, respectively, heats up
3. Compressorsqueezes Freon and maintains its movement along the refrigerator. The compressor is piston or spiral (scroll) type. Piston compressors Cheaper, but less reliable than spiral, especially in low-temperature external temperatures
4. Management boardit is installed only on inverter air conditioners. In not inverter models, all electronics are trying to post in the inner block, because
Large drops of temperature and humidity reduce the reliability of electronic components
5. Four-way valveit is installed in reversible (heat - cold) air conditioners. In heating mode, this valve changes the direction of movement of freon. At the same time, the internal and outdoor block is changed in places: the internal unit works on heating, and outdoor - for cooling
6. Equipment compoundsthese are connected copper pipes connecting outdoor and internal blocks
7. Freon Filter It is installed before the input of the compressor and protects it from copper crumbs and other small particles that can enter the system when mounting the air conditioner. Of course, if the installation is made with violation of technology and the system fell a large number of garbage, then the filter will not help
8. Protective rapid covercloses fitting connections and terminal blocks used to connect electrical cables. In some models, the protective cover closes only a terminal bar, and the fitting connections remain outside

Description
1. Front panelit is a plastic lattice through which air flows inside the block. The panel is easily removed to maintain the air conditioner (filter cleaning, etc.)
2. Filter coarse cleaningrepresents plastic grid and is designed to delay large dust, animal wool, etc. For normal operation of the air conditioner, the filter must be cleaned at least twice a month
3. Filter of fine cleaningthere are various types: coal (removes unpleasant
Smells), electrostatic (delays small dust), etc. The presence or absence of fine cleaning filters no effect does not affect the operation of the air conditioner
4. Fan Has 3 - 4 rotational speeds
5. Evaporatorthe radiator in which the heating of cold freon and its evaporation occurs. Blowing through the radiator air, respectively, cooled
6. Horizontal blindsthe direction of the air flow vertically is adjusted. These blinds have an electric drive and their position can be adjusted from the remote control. In addition, blinds can automatically perform oscillatory movements for uniform distribution of air flow by room
7. Indicator panelon the front of the air conditioner installed indicators (LEDs), showing the operating mode of the air conditioner and signaling about possible faults.
8. Vertical blindsserve to adjust the direction of the air flow horizontally. In domestic air conditioners, the position of these blinds can be adjusted only manually. Ability to adjust from the remote control only in some models of premium air conditioners

Control boardit is usually located on the right side of the indoor unit. The electronics block with the central microprocessor is placed on this board.
Equipmentlocated at the bottom rear of the indoor unit. These are connected copper pipes connecting outdoor and internal blocks

Air Conditioning Mounting Tools

Going to install air conditioning yourself, you need to prepare all the tools in advance that you may need:


In addition, you will need a whole bay of the copper tube with the ends spangled in factory defines. The presence of scratches, dents and similar defects are not allowed.

Installing the air conditioner is best during overhaul, because you have to break through the wall and damage the finish.

Installation instructions for air conditioning

If the tools are purchased, the air conditioner is delivered and unpacked, you can proceed to work. The first is the outer block, and then mount the system indoors. During the installation process, it is impossible to forget about safety technician, especially if the work is made at the level of the second floor and above.

Fastening the outer block


When installing the air conditioner in a private house of special difficulties for placing an outdoor unit, but the place must be chosen very carefully. The block of the block should not be blown up the kind of neighbors, and the condensate should not flock along the wall of the house. At the same time, the air conditioner should be attached within reach of the balcony, since such equipment needs periodic maintenance.


It is best if the block is fixed with the eastern or northern side of the window or balcony, and preferably in its lower part. So he will not interfere with anyone, and it is possible to reach it without difficulty through an open window. Using the level, place the places of attachment of the brackets and drill holes in the wall under the anchor bolts. For laying inter-block communications, a through hole with a diameter of 80 mm is drilled. IN brick wall It is recommended to drill on a seam between bricks - it will take less time and the hole will be careful.


Brackets are installed on the markup, align and securely twist the bolts. The outer block itself is fixed so that between the radiator and the wall surface remains at least 10 cm. The connection is made a little later, then they close the formed clearances. If the unit is securely fixed on a vertical surface, you can go to the next step.


The internal unit is forbidden to be mounted behind the curtains, above the battery and in rooms with electrical sources that can cause damage to the block processor. After selecting the place, you must check the wall on the absence of already laid communications - electrical wiring, plumbing or heating pipes.




If the site is free, mount the mounting plate: retreat from the ceiling 10 cm, from the angle of the wall 5 cm and mark the horizontal line with a pencil. Drill holes under the fasteners and securely screw the plate. The inside block of the air conditioner is mounted on the plate, after which the hole for communication on the connection - electrical wiring, pipes, hoses for the condensate hoses are drilled in the side wall.

Connecting electrical wiring

For the indoor unit, they pave their, the minimum cross section is 1.5 square meters. mm. Be sure to install a shutdown machine. When the wiring is laid, it is connected to the shield on entering: a yellow wire with a green strip is connected to a zero wire. To determine zero and phases, use the indicator.

After that, isolated multiple wires connect the terminals of both blocks, passing them through a hole in the wall. The names of the terminals must necessarily coincide with the wires, all clearly painted in the instructions attached to the air conditioner.

Copper tubes must be cut, leaving the margin of bends around the meter. When disinhibited tubes, special tools are used that allow you to avoid wrinkles, dents and tightening metal. On the prepared tubes, heat insulation are insulation - polyurethane foam hoses. Porolon is not suitable as a seal, as it has a short life.


Threaded flanges are dressed on insulated pipes, while the thread should be located at the end of the tube. The next stage is the rolling of the tubes. It is necessary to perform the flaws very carefully so that cracks and grooves are not formed on the tubes. The nut should be easily dressing on the rolling, and it is better to produce a dynamometric tightening of a key - this will eliminate the extrusion of fragrant compounds from the nut.

Alternately attach pipelines to the corresponding fittings, which are difficult to confuse due to different diameters. The flanges are twisted on the fittings so that the connection is dense, but not shifted, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the phone. In conclusion, a segment of a plastic tube with a reinforced housing is connected to the flow nozzle. Mounting is performed by a piece of heat-insulated tube or a threaded flange if it is included. The drainage tube should be removed from the carrier wall as far as possible.


Now the pipes are hardened in the hole, align, from the outdoor side it is fixed tightly to the wall with clamps. The wiring cable is recorded next to, the pipeline is connected to the external block. The hole is placed by mounting foam or fill with silicone. All outer compounds are checked with a bicycle pump and a soapy solution for tightness. If somewhere passes the air, the threads are tightened denser. After checking, the soapfile is erased with a thread with a clean cloth.



System vacuuming

Wakuuming the system makes it possible to remove the smallest particles of dust and moisture. This process is performed after sealing threaded connectionsotherwise completely digging the air will not work. To do this, connect the vacuum pump to the system and the air is pumped out for an hour.


Filling and testing air conditioning



The refrigerant of the cylinder must be downloaded. The adapter and pressure gauge are connected to the cylinder, and then, strictly follow the pressure, fill the tank. When the process is completed, an air conditioner includes an indoor disconnecting, after which the system independently enters the test mode. If everything works without failures, and cold air circulation becomes uniform, you can close the hole in the wall, remove the effects of mounting and enjoy cool.

Video - installation of air conditioning with your own hands

Survive the summer heat and stool helps climate technique and in particular split systems that are called air conditioners according to habit. Technique is not cheap, but worst everything is required to pay the amount a little smaller than for the equipment. Therefore, many are thinking about independent installation. The installation of the air conditioner is possible, but there are many little things and features, non-burning of which leads to a rapid wear of the equipment. Detailed step-by-step instruction Help you do everything right.

Choosing a place

Installing the air conditioner with their own hands begins with the definition of the location of the equipment. Since the split systems consist of two or more blocks, you will have to choose a place for both. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account how the cold air will be distributed in the house or apartment, as well as take into account the technical requirements.

Let's start by S. technical requirements. When choosing the location of the indoor unit, we consider such requirements:

  • from the block to the ceiling - at least 15 cm (some manufacturers at least 20-30 cm);
  • up to the wall on the side - at least 30 cm;
  • before the obstacle that the flow of cold air will be broken - at least 150 cm.

The outer block usually put usually near the window or on the open balcony if it is. On the glazed balcony / loggia is possible on the fence (if it has sufficient carrier) or near the wall. If you live on the first or second floor of a high-rise building, the outer block is trying to put the windows level above - away from passersby. At higher floors can be placed under the window or side.

If the installation of the air conditioner is planned in a private house, it is usually selected based on the bearing ability of the walls. If there is a ventilated facade, you can apply a special mounting or hanging the block to the base, if it is.

When choosing a location of the split-system blocks, it is also necessary to remember that in most cases the minimum and maximum distance between the blocks is normalized. Specific figures depend on the manufacturer. For example, the minimum distance may be 1.5 m, 2.5 m ( different models Daikin) and even 3 meters (Panasonic). Some manufacturers have a minimum length not regulate, that is, anyone. In this case, you can set the "Back to Back" blocks. Installers This way of installation is called "sandwich".

Slightly easier, the situation with the maximum distance between two blocks. It is usually 6 meters. It may be more, but then additional refueling of the Freon system will be required, and this is additional costs, and considerable. Therefore, try to invest in the required 6 meters.

What will be required for self-installation

You are probably aware of how much the installation of the air conditioner is expert. If you come from where such prices, after all, work is only 3 hours, they respond that the equipment and its depreciation is a significant share of the cost. Perhaps this is the case, but most of this equipment can already be in the farm. An exception is a vacuum pump, but many brigades do without it, since it is worth a normal really much, but from a bad any sense.

Equipment

So, to install the air conditioner with your own hands you will need the following equipment:


For an ideal installation, a vacuum pump is needed, but usually take him nowhere and on the tracks up to 6 meters it is cost without it.

Materials

For connecting and installing two blocks of split systems, the following consumables will be needed:


It's all that is necessary to install the air conditioner with your own hands.

Order of installation and features

In an independent installation of the split system, there is nothing over-complex, but there is a mass of nuances that can affect the durability and quality of the equipment. First of all, before starting work, it is worth carefully reading the installation and operation instructions that comes with the equipment. The time spent compensate for what you will know exactly what and how to do it with your air conditioning, because there are some nuances.

Start - Mount the blocks

Before the start of all works, it is worth searching in the estimated place of installation hidden wiring or heating pipes. Get into them when working - it is very sad. Next is the actual installation of the air conditioner with your own hands. It is necessary to start with the installation of the indoor unit. At the selected place, placing the plate for its attachment. The block should hang strictly horizontally without the slightest deviations. Therefore, they approach the markup and fastening carefully.

Apply the plate, exhibit it in terms of the level, mark the place for fasteners. Drills holes, insert plastic plugs under a dowel, hang the plate and fasten the dowels. Especially carefully secure the lower part of the plate - there are latches that hold the block, because they should be rigidly fixed. No backlash. Then check the horizontality again.

After catching, where the track will be located (it should go under the tilt at least 1 cm per meter - for normal drainage laying), start drilling a hole in the outer wall. The hole also drills with a bias - again to normal condensate (the angle can be more than the track).

The minimum hole diameter is 5 cm. If there is no bore of this size, you can make several holes of a smaller diameter, output not a common bunch of communications, but separately each tube / cable. In any case, it is better to drill two holes - one for copper and an electrocabyl, the second for a drainage tube. It must be stacked below the rest - in order not to be crushed into communications in an emergency.

If two "back to back" block is mounted, the hole must be strictly outled (measure on your own block where the connections are locked)

Then install the brackets for the outer block. If we are talking about a high-rise building, climbing equipment and work skills will be required. This unit should also hang strictly horizontally, so when laying holes also use the level. When installing brackets, fasteners are installed in each hole, no matter how much them is a prerequisite. Standard fasteners - anchor 10 * 100 mm. More you can, less extremely undesirable.

After the brackets are fixed, exhibit an outdoor unit. I fix the block, too, in all attachments that are. Only so can ensure that it will stand in place under any conditions.

Laying Communications

Two blocks connect the electrical wire, two copper tubes. Also, a drainage tube is displayed through the wall. All these communications must be correctly selected, connected, laid and secured.

Copper tubes

We start with copper pipes. One larger diameter, the other smaller. Dimensions are indicated in the instructions for the air conditioner. Cut off the pipe cutting a piece of the desired length, process the edges from the burr a special tool to reprole and leveling the cut. Use the usual saw is undesirable, like a file for removing a burr - inside the pipe will necessarily be powdered, which will fall into the system and quickly destroy the compressor.

The prepared pipes wear heat-insulating tubes. Moreover, thermal insulation should be solid and passed inside the wall including. The joints of the thermal insulation pieces are definitely sampled by a metallized scotch, achieving very dense adjacent to the edges. The quality of thermal insulation is important, since condensate will be formed on the tapered portions, and it can be drained inside the wall, causing frozen driving, destroying the wall.

Copper tubes wrapped in thermal insulation must be carried out through a hole in the wall. Before that, it is necessary to be the edge that will be introduced into the wall, carefully close the dust in the pipe (and it is better to drown out reliably both end immediately after cutting and leave the plug before the connection starts). This is a very important point, since dust will quickly dissemble the compressor.

Cable and drainage

It is easier to deal with an electrical cable. Each wire is obsessed with special tips by installing them on the conductor cleaned from insulation and crimping the ticks. The prepared cable is connected according to the scheme that is in the instructions.

On the inner and outer block above the ports for connecting copper pipes there is a removable plate under which connectors for connecting the cable. Before starting an independent installation of split system, remove the plates, consider what and where it will be necessary to connect - it will be easier to work. Especially with the external block.

Connecting the drainage tube is generally simple: it is connected to the appropriate output on the inner block and removed through the wall. The length of this tube should be such that it end up at a distance of 60-80 cm from the wall. Laying the drainage tube must be performed with a bias towards the exit to the street. The slope of at least 1 cm per meter is long. You can no longer less.

The tube must be recorded through each meter so that there are no savings in it. Condensate is then accumulated in them, which can be on your floor or on the furniture. When you spend the tube through the hole in the wall, it is also better to drown something.

In the room usually pipes and cables are wrapped with a metallized tape into a single harness. Then they fix the wall in several places, the plastic box is fixed. Usually it takes white or suitable for color finishing.

If you wish, you can hide all tubes into the wall - to label the track in the wall, put there and after checking the performance to climb. But this is a pretty risky option, so to repair something need to disassemble the wall.

Connection blocks

Here, in general, there are no special secrets. Extended through the hole in the communication wall, connect to the appropriate connectors. With the connection of the cable there is no problems - to the terminals connect the wires of the same color that they are already connected. In this case, definitely not mistaken.

If the height difference in the installation of blocks exceeds 5 meters, it is necessary to make a loop for trapping the oil (put the copper pipes in this way) dissolved in Freon. If the difference is lower, no loops do.

Drainage

There are two ways to remove drainage from split system - in sewer or just outside, outside the window. The second method is more common, although it is not very correct.

Connecting the drain tube is also simple. To the exit drainage system The inner block (tube with a plastic tip at the bottom of the unit) is easily stretched by a corrugated hose. So that it holds securely, tighten the connection with a clamp.

The same is the case with the drainage of the outdoor unit. Finding it at the bottom. Often leave everything as it is, and water drips just down, but it is better, probably also to wear a drainage hose and take moisture from the walls.

Drainage of outdoor block

If it is used not hose, but a polymer pipe, you will need to choose an adapter that allows you to connect the air conditioner output and the tube. Watch will have to be on the spot, because there are different situations.

When laying a drainage tube, it is better to avoid sharp turns and it is definitely possible to allow savings - condensate will accumulate in these places, which is not good. As they have already spoken, the tube is laid out with a slope. Optimal - 3 mm per meter, minimum - 1 mm per meter. Throughout it is fixed to the wall at least every meter.

Freon circulation system

Somewhat more complicated with the connection of copper tubes. They are neatly, not allowing the beggars and the chances are laid out on the walls. For flexible, it is better to use pipe bender, but you can do the spring. In this case, also should avoid sharp turns, but in order not to pass the tube.

Ports on the outer block look like this. On the domestic same way.

From the beginning we connect the tube in the inner block. On it from ports twist nuts. As the nuts weaken the hissing is heard. It comes out nitrogen. This is normal - nitrogen rank, in the factory so that the insides are not oxidized. When the hiss stops, take out the plugs, remove the nut, we put it on the tube, then begin to fad.

Rolling

First remove the plugs from the pipes and check the edge. It should be smooth, round, without burr. If during the cutting section it became not round, use the calibrator. This is a small device that can be found in the store store. It is inserted into the pipe, scroll, leveling the cross section.

The edges of the tubes for 5 cm are thoroughly align, after the edge, they are unrolled in order to connect to the input / output of the blocks, creating a closed system. The correctness of the execution of this part of the installation is very important, since the freon circulation system should be hermetic. Then refueling the air conditioner will be needed not soon.

When the fadder, hold the pipe down. Again, so that the particles of copper do not get inside, and fell on the floor. In the holder it is clamping so that 2 mm is broken. That is how no more nor less. We clamp the tube, put the roller cone, spin, applying solid efforts (thick-walled tube). The ruin is completed when the cone does not go further. We repeat the operation on the other side, then with another tube.

If before you do not rolling pipes, it is better to practice on unnecessary pieces. The edge must turn out even, with a clear continuous border.

Connection with port

The collapsed edge of the pipe connect with the corresponding output, tighten the nut. No additional gaskets, sealants and the like to use should not be used (forbidden). In order to take special tubes from high-quality copper so that they provide sealing without additional funds.

It is necessary to make a serious effort - about 60-70 kg. Only in this case the copper is split, it will make a fitting, the connection will become almost monolithic and precisely hermetically.

The same operation is repeated with all four outlets.

Wakuuming - for what and how to do

The last stage ending the installation of the air conditioner with your own hands is the removal of air and moisture, argon residues from the system. When mounting, the wet air out of the room or from the street fills copper tubes. If you do not delete it, it will enter the system. As a result, the compressor will work with a larger load, will warm more.

The presence of moisture also negatively affects the system performance. The fact is that the freon, which is filled with air conditioners, contains some amount of oil for lubricating elements from the inside. This oil is hygroscopic, but bypassing with water, it is less efficiently lubricating insides, and this leads to their premature wear.

From all this it follows that without removal of air, the system will work, but not very long and with possible overheating (if there is such automation).

You can remove air from the system in two ways: with the help of a vacuum pump or a certain amount of freon released from the outer block (it is refilled at the factory and has some excess freon - just in case).

Method "PSHIKA"

On the ports of the external block, we unscrew the plugs of the valves (in the photo they are indicated by arrows).

Operations will be carried out with the bottom port (larger diameter), which sticks to perpendicular to the case. Under the lid is a hexagon connector, we select the right key in size.

Under the lid there is a valve with a hex jack

Further, by this key, for one second turn the valve for 90 °, return to the previous position. We let in the system a little freon, there was an overpressure. Press your finger to the spool, which is located on the same port. By this, we produce a mixture of freon and gases there. Press literally for seconds. The mixture must remain so as not to run a new air portion inside.

You can repeat 2-3 times, no more, the second time you can rotate the valve located above. When the track is 2-3 meters - you can 3 times, with a length of 4 meters - only two. Not enough for greater stocks of Freon.

When the air is almost deleted, you screw the plug, control valves (under the hex) open, running freon into the system to exit a spool (refill). All connectors to the soapy foam to make sure they are sealed. You can run.

Vacuum pump

For this operation, a vacuum pump is needed, a high pressure tube, a group of two pressure gauges - high and low pressure.

Without opening the valves on the control valves, connect the hose from the vacuum pump to the inlet with the spool, turn on the equipment. It should work 15-30 minutes. During this time, all air, couples, nitrogen remains are pulled out.

Then the pump is disconnected, the pump valve is closed, but do not disconnect and leave for another 15-20 minutes. All this time must be observed for testimony of pressure gauges. If the system is sealed, no pressure changes, the arrows of the pressure gauges froze in place. If the arrows change their position - somewhere there is a leakage and need to be eliminated. You can find it with a soap foam and tighten the compound (usually the problem is in the location of the copper tubes to the outputs of the blocks).

If everything is fine without disconnecting the pump hose, we fully open the valve that is at the bottom. Inside the system, some sounds are heard - Freon fills the system. Now in gloves quickly surround the hose of the vacuum pump - some amount of ice freon can escape from the valve, and it is frostbite to do anything. Now unscrew the valve at the top (where a thinner tube is connected).

Why in that order? Because when filling in Freon, the system is under pressure, which quickly locks the filling port when disconnecting the pump. That's all, the installation of the air conditioner is completed with your own hands, you can turn on.

For the sake of fair to say that such an operation is vacuuming - conducts only in Russia and the nearest countries. In the same israel, where air conditioners work all year round, nothing like this. Why - a question for reflection.
