Air conditioning and ventilation / | Dangerous if the air conditioner? |
incomprehensible always causes people anxiety and fear, and the more " Cave " He was a man, the stronger was panic. But today this Neanderthal syndrome is a no-no, and makes itself known, otherwise how to explain a lot of ridiculous speculation, emerged around climate technology. By the way, in our country. It has a long tradition. But if the persecution of genetics and cybernetics every schoolboy knows, that the defeat of the magazine " Heating and ventilation " for the publication of materials on the air conditioning hardly remembered. In 1940, these items were seen as " the promotion of bourgeois views in the art ", and up until 1955 (when the USSR took conditioners military facilities), this topic remains taboo.
But today, after the final rehabilitation of all " bourgeois Sciences ", from time to time there chilling publications about the dangers of air conditioners. But is there any real reason to panic? Let's deal with.
The national press were many publications that pretty scared most impressionable owners conditioners. First of all, we are talking about the so-called " Legionnaires' disease ", whose victims are accustomed to bracing chill people. However, in most publications, somehow silent about what may become a breeding ground for infection, not all air conditioners. The problem is relevant only for some central air conditioning systems, water recycling systems equipped with cooling towers, but in our country there is practically no such. But in the split systems and window air conditioners < Legionella > I do not want to be driven. This infection prefers water slurry heated to 30-35 & deg; C, whereas in the household conditioners condensate has a temperature of just above zero and also immediately removed from the apparatus. That is why the world is not a single case of infection legionelezom of split systems and window air conditioners. Well, in our country since the days of the king of peas to the present day we did not have any ill.
Often you can read and about the dangers of the air conditioner installed on the filter , allegedly caught in the air useful for a person negatively charged particles - " Aeron ". As a result of executions over the air becomes clean, but " dead ". The statement is very questionable for any person are familiar with the climatic technology. Most modern split-systems and all window air conditioners have only one filter, which is a fine mesh. His task - to prevent the clogging of the indoor heat exchanger dust, poplar fluff and other debris dangling in the air. It is clear that effectively delay the individual atoms it is clearly not in a position, so Aeron fly through it as mosquitoes through volleyball net. Moreover, many companies air conditioner filters have a negative electrostatic charge, and therefore generally can not catch negative particles.
Sometimes it can be read that during epidemics " air-conditioning systems of large buildings " may spread viruses throughout the building, that is delivered to each of their personal microbe. Similar statements were under the soil twenty years ago, when many central air conditioning and air handling units have a mixing chamber. Now, instead they prefer to install recuperators, but because the supply and extract air have no direct contact. As a result of intense microbial air is removed from the premises, and to replace it served fresh.
Air conditioners and reproach that they desiccate the air . Particularly distinguished one of the leading employees of the Institute of Preventive Medicine, argues that the humidity in the room should be 60-70% and higher, and air conditioners reduce it to 30-40%. The funny side of the situation is that the building codes clearly regulate the level of humidity in the room from 30 to 60%. But what they are categorically not allowed because it is increasing more than 70%.
And finally, the last point in the indictment reads as follows: air conditioners can chill the occupants. Of course, if you sit directly in front of air conditioning so it was blowing straight at you get sick easier. But if it's not included in your plans, you need to change the direction of flow by means of air dampers. In addition, all modern split systems, they can do automatic fluctuations up and down, very uniformly dispersing the cool air.
But what really should be afraid of, it's suspiciously cheap technology. This may be a rejection of a firm or plant repainted second-hand from the United Arab Emirates. In any case, the service life of such air conditioners - from several months to 2-3 years with more luck. And their passport characteristics they generally do not provide. Real power can greatly differ from the stated and the noise level in 3-5 times higher than normal. Calculate the left air conditioning can be at surprisingly low prices, sometimes below the selling price of the plant! So if someone offers a proprietary split-system for $ 600, you should think twice.
To ensure that you avoid the scams should contact the authorized distributors or dealers who have the appropriate certificates. Companies operating for many years on the market, value their reputation and will not mess with questionable technique. Equally important is the quality installation. If someone is taken to make it for 5 cents, you need to think twice. It is quite a difficult operation that requires knowledge, skills, and expensive tool. For example, in reputable companies in the technical equipment of a team usually goes from $ 3000 to $ 5000, which determines the relatively high cost of installation. But if we take it for 20-25 percent of the cost of the air conditioner, then abroad such service would cost 50-70 percent.
Of course, the two men with hammer can install air-conditioning and a hundred dollars, but in the case of failure to complain would have only themselves. After the warranty on the installed equipment does not give the manufacturer, and the company that carried out the installation. She usually deals and service. Of course, if air conditioning is a well known company, it without any problems take on service and other companies, but the technology to communicate with the left nobody will.
