Anyone who has used a fan knows that the fan blades will form a layer of ash on them after a period of use, and the heat exchanger and perfusion fan structure in the air conditioner are much more complex than the fan blades of the fan, so it is easy to hide dirt and dirt.
Although the air inlet of the air conditioner has a filter, there will still be dust entering the air conditioner through the filter, so there is also the job of air conditioner cleaning. Wash once, the price is between 100-200 yuan.
In fact, the current air conditioner has an automatic cleaning function, although it is not as good as housekeeping dismantling and cleaning, but fortunately, it is convenient and fast, as long as the button is pressed, the air conditioner can be automatically cleaned, or free.
We can make the air conditioner automatically clean once a month or half a month, so that the wind blowing out of the air conditioner is healthier.
How to turn on the automatic cleaning of the air conditioner?
Generally, it can be turned on on the remote control, taking Gree's air conditioner as an example, in the state of the air conditioner turned off, press the 2 keys of "light" and "auxiliary heat" at the same time, when you hear the air conditioner "drip" sound, the air conditioner will start to run the automatic cleaning program.
At the same time, the word "CL" will also be displayed on the air conditioner, which is the first two letters of clean, which means clean.
The principle of automatic cleaning of the air conditioner
The automatic cleaning procedure of the air conditioner consists of 4 steps:
1. First of all, condensation, condensation is to let the water droplets condense on the heat exchanger, the principle of condensation is refrigeration, so that the water in the air touches the cold aluminum wings and copper tubes, condensed into water droplets, and the dust will be stuck by the water droplets.
2. Frosting. Quickly cools down, frosts the water droplets, and the dust is trapped. The first 2 steps take about 10 minutes, and the air conditioner is in a refrigerated state, so the wind blowing out is cold.
3. Quickly defrost. Allow dust to drain out of the drain along with the water. At this time, the air conditioner starts to heat, because the air conditioner changes from cold to hot, thermal expansion and contraction, the shell of the air conditioner will have abnormal noise, which is a normal phenomenon.
4. Drying and high-temperature sterilization. After the defrosting is completed, the air conditioner is dried and sterilized at high temperature, the air conditioner is heating, and the wind blowing out is hot. This time will last about 40 minutes.
After the drying and sterilization program is over, the word "CL" on the air conditioner disappears, the air conditioner automatically shuts off, and the automatic cleaning of the air conditioner is completed.
In principle, the air conditioner is automatically cleaned, mainly to clean the evaporator of the air conditioner, that is, the frosty place, and the other places are just hot air baking and sterilization.
The filter screen of the air inlet and the air deflector of the air outlet (some of which are removable) should be removed and cleaned regularly.
How long does it take for an aircon to clean itself?
The air conditioner is automatically cleaned once, and after going through the above 4 processes, I measured that the Gree air conditioner takes about 1 hour, for reference only.
In the daily use of air conditioners, we can't call housekeeping to clean the air conditioner frequently (the cost is not low). Regularly cleaning the air inlet filter and air outlet, and regularly activating the automatic cleaning function of the air conditioner, is a necessary operation for us to use the air conditioner healthily.
