As the summer progresses, temperatures gradually climb, sometimes even breaking through the 38°C line. In such a scorching summer, the air conditioner has undoubtedly become our savior, giving us a hint of cool shelter.
However, when using air conditioners, we must pay attention to scientific methods, otherwise it will not only affect the use of air conditioners, but also may have adverse effects on our health.
In recent years, more and more people have been suffering from the so-called "air conditioning disease" because of the wrong use of air conditioners.
Among them, a certain "mode" of the air conditioner is often misused, and many people do not know about it, resulting in a declining physical condition.
Let's dive into this often misused "pattern".
1. Be cautious about the "dehumidification mode" of the air conditioner
When we operate the air conditioner remote control, it is easy to notice a feature called "Dehumidification Mode".
This model, when used under the right circumstances, can indeed provide us with a comfortable environment, but if used incorrectly, it can lead to a range of health problems.
The dehumidification mode works by reducing the humidity in the air to achieve a comfortable environment. When the motor is running at low speed, the air conditioner circulates inside to effectively exhaust the moisture in the room.
In the rainy season, when the indoor humidity is too high and it feels uncomfortable to be stuffy, properly turning on the dehumidification mode can indeed create a more pleasant living environment for us.
However, here's the problem: many people mistakenly think that using the dehumidification mode every day will save more power, so they turn it on for a long time.
In fact, this is a misconception. Using the dehumidification mode for a long time can cause the indoor humidity to be too low, making the air too dry.
Being in such an environment for a long time can cause symptoms such as dry mouth, cough, itchy skin, and even "air conditioning sickness" in severe cases.
In order to avoid these problems, we should choose whether to use the dehumidification mode according to the actual situation of the indoor environment.
Under normal circumstances, the cooling mode of the air conditioner can be turned on to achieve the effect of dehumidification. If you feel that the room is too dry, you can maintain a comfortable living environment by placing a basin of water under the air conditioner or using a humidifier to increase the humidity in the room.
Second, a few tips for the use of air conditioners
In addition to using the dehumidification mode with caution, we also need to pay attention to the following points when using the air conditioner:
1. Avoid setting the temperature too low
In the hot summer, the first thing many people do when they get home is to turn the air conditioner temperature to the lowest in pursuit of a moment of coolness. However, it is not scientific to do so.
Too low a temperature will make people's skin unable to adapt, and suddenly enter a low temperature environment from a high temperature environment, which can easily lead to the body's immune system not responding in time and being damaged.
Therefore, it is recommended that you control the indoor temperature at about 24-26°C during the day. When you calm down, you will naturally feel cool and comfortable.
2. Clean the air conditioner filter regularly
Many households, after purchasing an air conditioner, often neglect to clean their filters.
Not only will it affect the effectiveness of the air conditioner if it is not cleaned for a long time, but it may also lead to a decrease in air quality and increase the risk of disease.
Especially for families with children, it is essential to clean the air conditioner filter regularly.
The way to clean the filter is simple:
First disconnect the power supply of the air conditioner, open the shell, and take out the filter; Then spray it on it with a special detergent and rinse it off with a showerhead.
Of course, you can also choose to have a professional come to your home for a more thorough cleaning.
3. Use the air conditioner's sleep mode at night
On hot nights, many people will choose to turn on the air conditioner all night to cool down. However, this not only consumes power, but also easily leads to feeling too cold and catching a cold in the second half of the night.
Actually, we can make full use of the sleep mode of the air conditioner to solve this problem.
In sleep mode, the temperature of the air conditioner gradually rises by one degree over several hours, thus keeping the indoor temperature even. This saves electricity and avoids adverse effects on the body.
Write at the end:
In short, we need to pay more attention and pay attention to scientific methods when using air conditioners.
The correct and reasonable use of air conditioning can not only ensure our experience, but also avoid unnecessary damage to the body. Hope you find these suggestions helpful!
