In comparison with other conditioning devices, air-conditioning is more complex diblock structure. This system consists of an external condensing unit and the indoor unit evaporator an appropriate amount of communication, which is fed Freon and electricity is discharged condensate. This scheme complicates the installation, but does not exclude self-installation. To install this air conditioner is sufficient to refer to the instructions to remedy the lack of knowledge and experience through online resources, consult with experts.
Mounting features are dependent on the internal design of the module, which can be wall or floor. To save space in small apartments are usually used wall-mounted air conditioner. This split is somewhat more complicated to set up because of the need in a robust wall mounting. But regardless of the details of the work carried out in the following sequence:
Instruments
To install the required tools to split. The kit is recommended to include:
- a hammer drill and a corresponding set of drills which can penetrate capital concrete wall;
- cutter for accurate cutting of tubes without the threat of clogging copper shavings;
- Kit for expanding tubes edges, which will ensure a good seal;
- Example, which can smooth out the ends of the joints;
- pump cycling may be, for evaluating the tightness;
- vakuumnik to remove moisture from the evacuation system;
- indicator screwdriver and tester for wiring;
- pressure gauge for pressure control.
How to choose
Before you install the modules split system is necessary to define their place correctly. For the external block site should:
- to protect the instrument from direct sunlight and exposure to dust;
- guarantee the stability of the construction;
- provide a free space sufficient for normal operation.
It is not recommended to install the air conditioner on the wall above the second floor because of the danger of falling. The best option is placing it on the balcony.
Here, such a situation is not possible, and the necessary protection is provided by the block shade. An additional advantage is the ease of maintenance. When choosing a location for the compressor is necessary to:
- provide protection from the sun heating or heating;
- eliminate the threat of ignition and different vapor gas leakage;
- provide the necessary instructions for the free space, and the distance from the floor of the block perimeter;
- prevent interference from constantly working appliances (distance not less than one meter);
- to ensure the strength of the wall that does not allow the collapse of the structure.
Installation of a separate wiring
Split system, even in the low-power version requires not less than 1.5 kW. This requires a separate power line, unloaded by other consumers, especially in homes before the 90th year.
For it is necessary:
- two-wire section of 1.5 to 2 mm, carefully copper;
- automatic shutdown 16A.
If you plan to hide the wiring in Stroebe, you should take care of it during the repair so as not to spoil the expensive interior of a renovated apartment. When the idea to set the split came after the release of the repair can be the installation of additional wiring in the box. In any case, it will:
- avoid congestion;
- prevent failure of the device;
- eliminate the possibility of fire as a result of the closure.
Installing an external capacitor unit
The complexity of this phase depends on the point at which decided to place air conditioning. Can be used three options:
- on an open balcony;
- on the balcony;
- on the wall.
On the balcony is sufficient to establish short arms and put them module. protection function will perform regular visor balconies.
When choosing a loggia can be restricted to the same bracket, but remember, the enclosed space does not provide the necessary air circulation that will damage the air conditioner.
This will help to avoid the open flap, which reduces the value of the loggia especially in winter. Mount the unit on the wall can not be strengthened without brackets, that must surely hold the weight of a few times the mass of the block. For attaching them make better use of long anchor with a diameter of 20 mm.
Mounting and installation of communications evaporator
Before installing it is necessary to mark the site of attachment. Check them horizontally and vertically using a level. After this work is done in the following order:
- Holes are drilled along a line and inserted the anchor.
- Is fastened with screws a mounting plate;
- In accordance with the block position under the hole breaks the communication (50 - 80 mm) with a slight slope outwards beneath drainage.
- The hole is mounted waterproofing glass tube.
- checks the correctness of the connection wires to the terminals according to the diagram.
- Tube insulated with flex and drainage are connected to the branch pipes.
- If necessary elongation tubes stringed nuts previously flared edge.
- From the tubes, drainage and wires with electrical tape formed compact harness (highway) which is passed outwardly through an opening.
- The indoor unit is hung on the mounting plate.
After completing these works, it is possible to install the outdoor unit onto brackets previously fastened thereto and to bring the track. Avoid excessive force when bent tubes, in order to avoid deformation and wrinkles (allowable bending radius not smaller than 100 mm). If the unit hangs over the sidewalk, you need to take care of alternatives condensate drain indoors.
Sealing and evacuation
Correctly install a split can not be without sealing and evacuation communication. Sealing compounds is performed using the soap solution and conventional velonasosa. The solution was applied to the compound and is pumped by the pump tube. When the bubbles carefully to tighten the nuts on the 1/8. The procedure is performed until the bubbling stops.
Then, the vacuum, which is evacuated of air, dust and moisture residues. For this:
- opening running several ports;
- connect the vacuum pump to the service port;
- include its forward and a pressure of 10 mmHg;
- closing lever low pressure;
- We turn off the pump, return the plug on any open ports.
Testing
Before checking the fill or split Freon refrigerant, depending on the requirements of the instructions to the specified pressure. Testing included via disconnector machine. If done correctly mounted air conditioner will automatically enter into the test mode. Its result should be:
- normal current of cold air;
- the correct position of blinds;
- Condensate drain through drainage.
In the presence of all signs of the split can be operated on a daily basis. Otherwise it needs to appeal to specialists. At the same time on the air conditioner warranty will be lost.
So still it is not recommended to install this air conditioner. Better just to weigh themselves and think about inviting a specialist.
