Mobile air conditioning: advantages, principle of operation, choice

We get used to comfortable living conditions very quickly. This applies not only to the comfort in the house - the use of air conditioning is now just as necessary as the use of other home appliances. Now we can not imagine a modern office or a shopping center without air conditioning. And about 10 years ago, such cooling and air conditioning systems were considered a luxury. Today, such air conditioning systems can rarely be surprised. When there is no possibility to install a built-in wall cooling system, there is a good alternative - a mobile air conditioner.

yourself Portable air conditioners are the ability to cool air where you can not install a stand-alone unit. For example, when a tensioning cloth is mounted in the room, or it is impossible to install the air conditioner on the wall. In addition, air conditioning can be installed in rented premises, temporary shopping facilities or if the premises are classified as "historical value".

The main advantages of mobile air conditioners are maneuverability and complete absence of installation work. A portable air conditioner can be taken with you to rest and set up in a room, thus ensuring optimum room temperature. The price of mobile air conditioners is two times lower than the cost of modern wall systems.

Mobile air conditioners. What to look for when choosing

To choose a decent outdoor air conditioner, let's pay attention to the features. First, the power of the device to serve the entire area of ​​the room. Secondly, most often we need more than one function - cooling. The mobile air conditioner can also be used for space heating. Some models can be equipped with additional functions - filters( ozonation mode) and humidity control.

Consider a number of characteristics:

1. When choosing a floor-mounted air conditioner, you should pay attention to its power. It is believed that 1 kW can serve about 10 m2.If you carefully study the instructions of the mobile air conditioner, then we can conclude that the manufacturer himself indicates the limit of its use. You need to focus not only on power, but also on the area of ​​the room and its volume.
2. Power consumption. This is also an important parameter, since the power consumption is directly related to the economy of the air conditioner and the load on the power grid. By standards, the power consumption is three times less than the cooling capacity. It is worth noting that some models of floor air conditioners may differ from this standard and be more economical.
3. Noise. Surely you will not like it when your peace breaks the terrible "growl" of the air conditioner. Such a "noisy" unit is inconvenient to use in the bedroom and children's room, as it is impossible to get used to such sounds. Pay attention to the parameters of the floor air conditioner: the noise level is measured in decibels.
4. Additional mode - heating. When the air conditioner is equipped with such an additional function, it allows you to use the equipment not only in the warm season, but also in the off-season to create comfortable conditions.
5. Inverter motor. The presence of such an engine makes it possible to reduce the load on the power grid, since the temperature in the room will not be adjusted sharply, but gradually. This greatly increases the life of the air conditioner.
6. Additional parameters. These include venting and dehumidifying air without heating and cooling. You can also buy a mobile air conditioner with the option of removing dust, removing odors, saturating the air with useful substances. The ability to adjust the fan rotation allows you to reduce the noise level during daytime sleep or during night work. Thanks to this additional function, such as automatic activation and deactivation of the mobile air conditioner, you can set the time and go to do their own thing. In addition, this option is very convenient when a person is at work, and on arrival comes into a chilled room.

Mobile air conditioners - the principle of operation

Consider the air conditioner unit:

1. Block. This is the part of the element that is installed in the room. It looks like a big box, mostly plastic.
2. External unit. Some models of independent split-systems are equipped with a similar device that is located on the street. This allows you to significantly reduce the noise level in the room.
3. Trunk or pipe( corrugated air duct).This is an indispensable element of outdoor mobile air conditioners, which serves to eject the exhaust air. The second purpose of freon routes is to combine both blocks( internal and external).

• do not use chemical fluids - freon, freon. Cooling occurs due to evaporation of the liquid;
• is easy to control the device - switches and buttons are located directly on the case. Some models are equipped with a remote control;
• the ability to choose the right model with a number of additional options: ionization of air, rapid temperature reduction and fan operation;
• does not need to install and connect air conditioning to duct systems;
• minimum power consumption;
• noise level within the limits of the norm( similar to the fan operation).

Of the disadvantages of mobile air conditioners, it is worth highlighting the fact that the device operates without the arrival of fresh air.

Overview of the popular types of

Because among the variety of models it is difficult to single out only one model of mobile air conditioner, let's consider the popular types:
