Professional mounting air conditioner is the key to it long Service. At first glance, this procedure does not look difficult - it is enough to connect the external and internal block split system. But is it? To analyze the laboriousness of the installation, it is necessary to consider each of its stages.
Before starting the installation, a number of preparatory activities should be made. They are divided into 2 groups - according to the room parameters and ensuring installation conditions. Basic selection criteria: Room Square, Availability supply ventilation, number of people constantly or periodically staying in it.
After that, you can proceed to preparatory work in room. They are held during repairs or in front of it:
This stage of work can be carried out independently. Further actions will require a fair-minded skill and practical experience. It is enough to allow the slightest inaccuracy, and even more so - the hidden defect, and the work of expensive climatic equipment will be threatened.
In most cases, installation consists of the following steps:
For each of these stages, it is important to comply with the installation technology.
If the hole in the wall is made immediately behind the internal block, then you must first attach the mounting plate. It will be installed on it the case of the air conditioner, so work should be performed very carefully. First, marking on the wall is made, measured with the help of the correct installation, and then the plate is installed.
Next to it, a hole with a diameter of 50 mm is closed, work is best carried out indoors, but it should be controlled by security. When working, part of the wall can collapse - one of the installers should stand on the street and control the process from there.
All elements of the inter-block line must be connected to the inner block: copper tubes for freon, drainage system and electrical cable. For insurance, it is recommended to increase the estimated length of the track by 30 cm. This will give the opportunity to avoid probable errors when installing.
The most important is proper connection copper pipeline. It is completely straightened, nuts and flex are installed on the mounting ends. Next tubes are rolled and attached to the inner block. It is very important to comply with the required effort.
With insufficiently dense tightening, there will be a leakage of freon, and when it is religious, damage to the copper shell is possible, which will also lead to loss of tightness.
At this stage, special equipment for soldering and crimping are needed. The cost of professional instrument is high - its purchase for one-time installation is unprofitable. If you enjoy less than high quality, then there is a high probability of incorrect pipeline connection.
Next is mounted drainage hoseThe place of its attachment to the block is placed by Teflon ribbon. Then the electrical cable is connected. The resulting highway needs thermal insulation, for this tube twisted with the help of a special moisture-resistant tape, and the thermal insulation cover is installed.
Installation of the outdoor unit is one of the most simple stages of the work. But for him it is necessary to comply with the terms of installation. First of all, you need to select the installation location. Boundary distances from blocks to walls are shown in the figure.
In addition, the safety of the device should be taken into account. In order to prevent theft outdoor block Installed in the grille case. To protect against external damage, a visor from galvanized steel is mounted. Fastening elements must withstand at least 4 times the weight of the entire design.
The inter-block route is connected to the outer block. The method of connecting all triggers is the same as for the indoor unit.
One of the responsible steps in the installation of the air conditioner is the refueling of freon. It is impossible to perform this procedure without special equipment.
Often choose Freon of the R-22 brand or similar to it. It is optimally suitable for Russian operating conditions. The procedure for performing work is as follows:
This installation is completed. As can be seen from this overview description of the installation process, the installation of the air conditioner is characterized by consideration and require large practical knowledge from the installer. Therefore, it is not recommended to install the climate system independently, since there are many more parameters that directly affect its efficiency and duration of work.
Unlike mobile air coolers consisting of a single block, household split systems require additional financial costs. Reduce costs are quite real: learn detailed guideHow to install a new air conditioner in the apartment and install your own hand.
Split systems are most often used for the air conditioning of private houses and apartments, since they are distinguished by reliability, convenience and compactness. The climatic installation consists of two blocks - internal and external, interconnected by two freon tubes, electric cable and drainage highway.
Warning. Buying a new air conditioning, keep in mind an important nuance: The entire freon is injected into the outer module, and the internal is empty. Do not open the valves on the sidebar of the device until you attach the pipelines.
Installation of "Split" is much more complicated to install floor and window air conditioners. Here, 2 separate blocks need to be properly installed outside and inside the room, lay and tightly combine highways. The issue of connecting to the power grid is solved easier - a line protected by a circuit breaker is paved to the installed internal module.
What you need to do before starting to independently install:
The location of the split system blocks is subject to certain rules. The flow of cooled air from the inner module should not directly blow people, and the maximum distance from the external unit is to exceed 5 m. Most often the unit is placed on the side partition next to the window and outer wall. Technological indents from walls and ceilings are listed on the diagram.
Now a few tips on where to install the outdoor unit:
Note. Inverter air conditioners work quieter ordinary, but the fan noise at night is still heard.
The package of split-system does not include the following installation materials, they will need to purchase themselves:
Note. Depending on the laying conditions of inter-block highways, a plastic cable-channel can be needed or a dry building mixture to seal the furrow.
In addition to the homemade dialing of plumbing tools, the installation of the air conditioner requires the use of special devices and equipment:
Often, instructions are often found on the Internet, how to install and run a split system without a vacuum pump, where air from the pipelines and evaporative heat exchanger is pushed by freon pressure. We categorically do not advise to follow such recommendations and clearly comply with the system for evacuating the system before filling. Otherwise, the compressor may fail a much earlier period.
Council. There is a way to save on the purchase or rental of roller tools and speed up the assembly of freon highways. We offer ready-made installation kits, including factory rolling tubes, insulation and cable with drainage hose. The price depends on the length of the harness (3, 5 or 7 m).
It is understood that you have already purchased a split-system of the required cooling capacity, you know exactly the dimensions of the devices and took place for them. Installation work is made in several stages:
Depending on the conditions of execution of work, the trunk harness is paved in two ways: open in the cable channel PVC is either hidden inside the wall. First option use in a residential apartment, the second - in the process of repairing the room.
Reference. Ninety percent of split-systems manufacturers provide for the withdrawal of communications from the left end of the indoor unit. When the window is suspended to the left and the hidden laying of pipelines, the furrow in the wall will have to drink with a turn, as depicted in the photo.
The first stage of work is performed like this:
How to properly make furrows and prepare for installation of the air conditioner, will tell an experienced master In his video:
Before starting work, remove the device from the box and read the attached technical documentation where the manufacturer places its own requirements for the installation of the product and the scheme is given. Installing the air conditioner with your own hands according to step-by-step instructions:
Council. In order not to hide the winding tape of the harness, it is better to insert a plastic sleeve into the technological hole. Alternatively, make it from a plastic bottle.
After the fit of the room unit, straighten the harness of the communications and put inward the furrows. For open way Gaskets immediately install the cable - the channel and hide the pipelines there. How to unmistakably connect the mains, look at the video:
Fastening the unit on the balcony will not deliver special difficulties. When installing under the window, secure yourself with insurance and invite the helper to support you while screwing the bracket and an external block. Works are made in such a sequence:
Council. In order not to get out of the window on the belt, spinning nuts under the bracket, buy special plastic locks or make them on your own. The bolt is inserted into the corner, the retainer is put on the thread in the form of a washer and does not give it falling. At the end of the module fastening nuts, fasten the long end key, as is done in the video.
At this stage, it is important to remove air and water vapor from the freon contour by vacuuming. Then the highways are filled with the refrigerant, uploaded to the outer block at the factory. To refill a new air conditioner, the following technology applies:
After successfully refueling the highways and the internal module, turn on the split-system for cooling, then test at different modes of operation. Make sure the condensate flows from drainage, and not on the wall under the inner block. Do not forget the ends of the service ports to close with regular plugs and put the lid.
The success of the event is highly dependent on the quality of implementation. mounting work. If when installing the air conditioner, you allow negligence, at best you will lose freon, and with it they will fly into the atmosphere money saved on the call of masters. In the worst case, the compressor "grab" couples or dirt that fell into the pipeline, and fails literally in a year. Therefore, do not hurry and pay close attention to all connections.

Survive the summer heat and stool helps climate technique and in particular split systems that are called air conditioners according to habit. Technique is not cheap, but worst everything is required to pay the amount a little smaller than for the equipment. Therefore, many are thinking about independent installation. The installation of the air conditioner is possible, but there are many little things and features, non-burning of which leads to a rapid wear of the equipment. Detailed step-by-step instruction Help you do everything right.
Installing the air conditioner with their own hands begins with the definition of the location of the equipment. Since the split systems consist of two or more blocks, you will have to choose a place for both. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account how the cold air will be distributed in the house or apartment, as well as take into account the technical requirements.
Let's start by S. technical requirements. When choosing the location of the indoor unit, we consider such requirements:
The outdoor unit usually put usually near the window or on open balcony, if he is. On the glazed balcony / loggia is possible on the fence (if it has sufficient carrier) or near the wall. If you live on the first or second floor of a high-rise building, the outer block is trying to put the windows level above - away from passersby. At higher floors can be placed under the window or side.
If the installation of the air conditioner is planned in a private house, it is usually selected based on the bearing ability of the walls. If there is a ventilated facade, you can apply a special mounting or hanging the block to the base, if it is.
When choosing a location of the split-system blocks, it is also necessary to remember that in most cases the minimum and maximum distance between the blocks is normalized. Specific figures depend on the manufacturer. For example, the minimum distance may be 1.5 m, 2.5 m (different models of Daikin) and even 3 meters (Panasonic). Some manufacturers have a minimum length not regulate, that is, anyone. In this case, you can set the "Back to Back" blocks. Installers This way of installation is called "sandwich".
Slightly easier, the situation with the maximum distance between two blocks. It is usually 6 meters. It may be more, but then additional refueling of the Freon system will be required, and this is additional costs, and considerable. Therefore, try to invest in the required 6 meters.
You are probably aware of how much the installation of the air conditioner is expert. If you come from where such prices, after all, work is only 3 hours, they respond that the equipment and its depreciation is a significant share of the cost. Perhaps this is the case, but most of this equipment can already be in the farm. An exception is a vacuum pump, but many brigades do without it, since it is worth a normal really much, but from a bad any sense.
So, to install the air conditioner with your own hands you will need the following equipment:
For an ideal installation, a vacuum pump is needed, but usually take him nowhere and on the tracks up to 6 meters it is cost without it.
For connecting and installing two blocks of split systems, the following consumables will be needed:
It's all that is necessary to install the air conditioner with your own hands.
IN independent installation Split systems there is nothing over-complex, but there is a lot of nuances that can affect the durability and quality of the equipment. First of all, before starting work, it is worth carefully reading the installation and operation instructions that comes with the equipment. The time spent compensate for what you will know exactly what and how to do it with your air conditioning, because there are some nuances.
Before the start of all works, it is worth searching in the estimated place of installation hidden wiring or heating pipes. Get into them when working - it is very sad. Next is the actual installation of the air conditioner with your own hands. It is necessary to start with the installation of the indoor unit. At the selected place, placing the plate for its attachment. The block should hang strictly horizontally without the slightest deviations. Therefore, they approach the markup and fastening carefully.
Apply the plate, exhibit it in terms of the level, mark the place for fasteners. Drills holes, insert plastic plugs under a dowel, hang the plate and fasten the dowels. Especially carefully secure the lower part of the plate - there are latches that hold the block, because they should be rigidly fixed. No backlash. Then check the horizontality again.
Changing where the track will be located (it should go under the tilt at least 1 cm per meter - for normal installation of drainage), start drilling a hole in outdoor wall. The hole also drills with a bias - again to normal condensate (the angle can be more than the track).
The minimum hole diameter is 5 cm. If there is no bore of this size, you can make several holes of a smaller diameter, output not a common bunch of communications, but separately each tube / cable. In any case, it is better to drill two holes - one for copper and an electrocabyl, the second for a drainage tube. It must be stacked below the rest - in order not to be crushed into communications in an emergency.
If two "back to back" block is mounted, the hole must be strictly outled (measure on your own block where the connections are locked)
Then install the brackets for the outer block. If we are talking about a high-rise building, climbing equipment and work skills will be required. This unit should also hang strictly horizontally, so when laying holes also use the level. When installing brackets, fasteners are installed in each hole, no matter how much them is a prerequisite. Standard fasteners - anchor 10 * 100 mm. More you can, less extremely undesirable.
After the brackets are fixed, exhibit an outdoor unit. I fix the block, too, in all attachments that are. Only so can ensure that it will stand in place under any conditions.
Two blocks connect the electrical wire, two copper tubes. Also, a drainage tube is displayed through the wall. All these communications must be correctly selected, connected, laid and secured.
We start with copper pipes. One larger diameter, the other smaller. Dimensions are indicated in the instructions for the air conditioner. Cut off the pipe cutting a piece of the desired length, process the edges from the burr a special tool to reprole and leveling the cut. Use the usual saw is undesirable, like a file for removing a burr - inside the pipe will necessarily be powdered, which will fall into the system and quickly destroy the compressor.
The prepared pipes wear heat-insulating tubes. Moreover, thermal insulation should be solid and passed inside the wall including. The joints of the thermal insulation pieces are definitely sampled by a metallized scotch, achieving very dense adjacent to the edges. The quality of thermal insulation is important, since condensate will be formed on the tapered portions, and it can be drained inside the wall, causing frozen driving, destroying the wall.
Copper tubes wrapped in thermal insulation must be carried out through a hole in the wall. Before that, it is necessary to be the edge that will be introduced into the wall, carefully close the dust in the pipe (and it is better to drown out reliably both end immediately after cutting and leave the plug before the connection starts). This is very important momentSince dust will quickly dissemble the compressor.
It is easier to deal with an electrical cable. Each wire is obsessed with special tips by installing them on the conductor cleaned from insulation and crimping the ticks. The prepared cable is connected according to the scheme that is in the instructions.
On the inner and outer block above the ports for connecting copper pipes there is a removable plate under which connectors for connecting the cable. Before starting an independent installation of split system, remove the plates, consider what and where it will be necessary to connect - it will be easier to work. Especially with the external block.
Connecting the drainage tube is generally simple: it is connected to the appropriate output on the inner block and removed through the wall. The length of this tube should be such that it end up at a distance of 60-80 cm from the wall. Laying the drainage tube must be performed with a bias towards the exit to the street. The slope of at least 1 cm per meter is long. You can no longer less.
The tube must be recorded through each meter so that there are no savings in it. Condensate is then accumulated in them, which can be on your floor or on the furniture. When you spend the tube through the hole in the wall, it is also better to drown something.
In the room usually pipes and cables are wrapped with a metallized tape into a single harness. Then they fix the wall in several places, the plastic box is fixed. Usually it takes white or suitable for color finishing.
If you wish, you can hide all tubes into the wall - to label the track in the wall, put there and after checking the performance to climb. But this is a pretty risky option, so to repair something need to disassemble the wall.
Here, in general, there are no special secrets. Extended through the hole in the communication wall, connect to the appropriate connectors. With the connection of the cable there is no problems - to the terminals connect the wires of the same color that they are already connected. In this case, definitely not mistaken.
If the height difference in the installation of blocks exceeds 5 meters, it is necessary to make a loop for trapping the oil (put the copper pipes in this way) dissolved in Freon. If the difference is lower, no loops do.
There are two ways to remove drainage from split system - in sewer or just outside, outside the window. The second method is more common, although it is not very correct.
Connecting the drain tube is also simple. To the exit drainage system The inner block (tube with a plastic tip at the bottom of the unit) is easily stretched by a corrugated hose. So that it holds securely, tighten the connection with a clamp.
The same is the case with the drainage of the outdoor unit. Finding it at the bottom. Often leave everything as it is, and water drips just down, but it is better, probably also to wear a drainage hose and take moisture from the walls.
Drainage of outdoor block
If it is used not hose, but a polymer pipe, you will need to choose an adapter that allows you to connect the air conditioner output and the tube. Watch will have to be on the spot, because there are different situations.
When laying a drainage tube, it is better to avoid sharp turns and it is definitely possible to allow savings - condensate will accumulate in these places, which is not good. As they have already spoken, the tube is laid out with a slope. Optimal - 3 mm per meter, minimum - 1 mm per meter. Throughout it is fixed to the wall at least every meter.
Somewhat more complicated with the connection of copper tubes. They are neatly, not allowing the beggars and the chances are laid out on the walls. For flexible, it is better to use pipe bender, but you can do the spring. In this case, also should avoid sharp turns, but in order not to pass the tube.
Ports on the outer block look like this. On the domestic same way.
From the beginning we connect the tube in the inner block. On it from ports twist nuts. As the nuts weaken the hissing is heard. It comes out nitrogen. This is normal - nitrogen rank, in the factory so that the insides are not oxidized. When the hiss stops, take out the plugs, remove the nut, we put it on the tube, then begin to fad.
First remove the plugs from the pipes and check the edge. It should be smooth, round, without burr. If during the cutting section it became not round, use the calibrator. it small devicewhich can be found in the forehead store. It is inserted into the pipe, scroll, leveling the cross section.
The edges of the tubes for 5 cm are thoroughly align, after the edge, they are unrolled in order to connect to the input / output of the blocks, creating a closed system. The correctness of the execution of this part of the installation is very important, since the freon circulation system should be hermetic. Then refueling the air conditioner will be needed not soon.
When the fadder, hold the pipe down. Again, so that the particles of copper do not get inside, and fell on the floor. In the holder it is clamping so that 2 mm is broken. That is how no more nor less. We clamp the tube, put the roller cone, spin, applying solid efforts (thick-walled tube). The ruin is completed when the cone does not go further. We repeat the operation on the other side, then with another tube.
If before you do not rolling pipes, it is better to practice on unnecessary pieces. The edge must turn out even, with a clear continuous border.
The collapsed edge of the pipe connect with the corresponding output, tighten the nut. No additional gaskets, sealants and the like to use should not be used (forbidden). In order to take special tubes from high-quality copper so that they provide sealing without additional funds.
It is necessary to make a serious effort - about 60-70 kg. Only in this case the copper is split, it will make a fitting, the connection will become almost monolithic and precisely hermetically.
The same operation is repeated with all four outlets.
The last stage ending the installation of the air conditioner with your own hands is the removal of air and moisture, argon residues from the system. When mounting, the wet air out of the room or from the street fills copper tubes. If you do not delete it, it will enter the system. As a result, the compressor will work with a larger load, will warm more.
The presence of moisture also negatively affects the system performance. The fact is that the freon, which is filled with air conditioners, contains some amount of oil for lubricating elements from the inside. This oil is hygroscopic, but bypassing with water, it is less efficiently lubricating insides, and this leads to their premature wear.
From all this it follows that without removal of air, the system will work, but not very long and with possible overheating (if there is such automation).
You can remove air from the system in two ways: with the help of a vacuum pump or a certain amount of freon released from the outer block (it is refilled at the factory and has some excess freon - just in case).
On the ports of the external block, we unscrew the plugs of the valves (in the photo they are indicated by arrows).
Operations will be carried out with the bottom port (larger diameter), which sticks to perpendicular to the case. Under the lid is a hexagon connector, we select the right key in size.
Under the lid there is a valve with a hex jack
Further, by this key, for one second turn the valve for 90 °, return to the previous position. We let the system a little freon, was created there overpressure. Press your finger to the spool, which is located on the same port. By this, we produce a mixture of freon and gases there. Press literally for seconds. The mixture must remain so as not to run a new air portion inside.
You can repeat 2-3 times, no more, the second time you can rotate the valve located above. When the track is 2-3 meters - you can 3 times, with a length of 4 meters - only two. Not enough for greater stocks of Freon.
When the air is almost deleted, you screw the plug, control valves (under the hex) open, running freon into the system to exit a spool (refill). All connectors to the soapy foam to make sure they are sealed. You can run.
For this operation, a vacuum pump is needed, a high pressure tube, a group of two pressure gauges - high and low pressure.
Without opening the valves on the control valves, connect the hose from the vacuum pump to the inlet with the spool, turn on the equipment. It should work 15-30 minutes. During this time, all air, couples, nitrogen remains are pulled out.
Then the pump is disconnected, the pump valve is closed, but do not disconnect and leave for another 15-20 minutes. All this time must be observed for testimony of pressure gauges. If the system is sealed, no pressure changes, the arrows of the pressure gauges froze in place. If the arrows change their position - somewhere there is a leakage and need to be eliminated. You can find it with a soap foam and tighten the compound (usually the problem is in the location of the copper tubes to the outputs of the blocks).
If everything is fine without disconnecting the pump hose, we fully open the valve that is at the bottom. Inside the system, some sounds are heard - Freon fills the system. Now in gloves quickly surround the hose of the vacuum pump - some amount of ice freon can escape from the valve, and it is frostbite to do anything. Now unscrew the valve at the top (where a thinner tube is connected).
Why in that order? Because when filling in Freon, the system is under pressure, which quickly locks the filling port when disconnecting the pump. That's all, the installation of the air conditioner is completed with your own hands, you can turn on.
For the sake of fair to say that such an operation is vacuuming - conducts only in Russia and the nearest countries. In the same israel where air conditioners work round year, nothing like this does. Why - a question for reflection.
Installing the air conditioner should begin with the selection of space for installation. In fact, everything is not easy. We must consider:
So you have to solve a comprehensive task, trying to satisfy all requirements and recommendations. Only in this case the installation of the air conditioner will be successful.
Let's start with the simplest: choosing the place of placement in terms of convenience of use. The internal unit must be placed so that the cooled air spread across the room, but did not get directly on the bed, the desktop, chair. In principle, you can redirect the stream with moving blinds, but it is much better to think about it.
The most correct solution is the solution to place air conditioning above the headboard, above or side from the table. In this case, the flow of cold air will "contend" the place of recreation or work, which is much more comfortable and less dangerous to health.
In addition, there are technical points that must be foreseen before the installation of the air conditioner is started with their own hands. The internal block is connected to the outer path with the highway and control cable. The outputs for connecting the track are on the right (if you look at the front block), but they can be cared in such a way that they are left or below. These outputs are a copper tube with a length of 30 cm.
Outputs from the outer block of the Splitsesthem (rear view)
It is connected to the track (soldering or collapse), and the connection site must be available for service. Because this section of the track in the wall (in the stroke) is not hiding, but are closed with a decorative box. At the same time, the track can be placed in different ways - depending on what wall the internal unit was hung and where the outer block is located in relation to it.
If the inner block is located to the left of the outer wall, and the tracks are incoming exactly, the minimum distance from the wall to the block is 500 mm (1 picture photo). It can be reduced to 100 mm if the track is wrapped on the adjacent wall, but its total length should not be less than 500 mm. If this is not possible, you can remove the taps to the left and put the pipes in the stroke (drawing on the right). In this case, this is possible, since the location of the conclusions and the route is obtained under the cover of the case, so it is available for repair and maintenance.
If the outer walls of the building can not pull cables, pipes, etc. (so as not to spoil appearance), I'll have to lay the entire track indoors. Less spending option - to hold it in the corner, closing with special boxes. This location is convenient, since then you can close the box with curtains.
The second option is more labor cost (the stroke is more complicated), but from the aesthetic side a more winble - this is a conclusion to translate to the left sidebar and put everything into the remission.
This option can be called typical - this is a standard solution when choosing such a location. Most often, the track in the box is removed directly into the wall, but if necessary, it can be omitted in the corner (also closing the box).
If necessary, you can put it in the stroke (the connection site is in the housing). If the track can not be conducted outside the building, you can put it in the stroke indoors. The route may be similar to the last two photos in the previous chapter.
In fact, this is not the simplest task - to choose a place for the outdoor unit. Not all buildings are allowed to place them on the walls. In this case, there are only two outputs: set the outer block split system in a specially reserved place - air conditioning. If there is no such room, only a balcony or loggia remains. In such buildings, they are usually glazed, because the location of the block does not affect the appearance.
But in this case, it is necessary to provide a system for cooling the equipment and the removal of the exhaust air. If the balcony is spacious enough, at all time its work open windows to ventilating or ensuring fresh air access in any other way. The output is simple and understandable, but leads to overheating of the equipment, and this is fraught with breakdowns and frequent replacement of the damaged outdoor unit.
Installation on the balcony - sometimes the only way out
A little corrected position can install fans for more active air exchange. Right to eat small premisesMake it in it efficient ventilation, separate ventilation channels on the lead and air supply. And they must be separate. This is done using air ducts that are displayed instead of the glazing. In general, in this case, the installation of the air conditioner is your own hands - the problem task is precisely in terms of ensuring the normal conditions of the equipment.
If there are no prohibitions on the placement of extraneous devices on the walls of the building, usually the outer air conditioner block is hanging on the balcony fence (side or front) or on the wall, but so that it is possible to reach it for service - wash, clean, check, fix it.
If the balcony is glazed, the window should be opened above it. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to serve it. To protect against precipitation and items that may fall from the window, a visor is placed above the block. The choice of materials is something similar to the trim of a balcony or a white plastic visor, but only a full one. The hollow and metal (including professional flooring and metal tile) is better not to use, since during the rain they turn into a drum, and during the hare can be stunned at all.
If the block is put on the loggia, only the one that in the picture on the right is left above the options above. Near the wall it is inconvenient, except under the window, but it already belongs to another section.
Another point: how to spend the track - on the ceiling or on the floor? It will be necessary to stick in that and in another case, but in the case of the floor it is possible, you will make it from the boards, then the pipes and cables connecting the outer and internal block can be paved on the surface, but better - in the box.
In those rooms where there is no balcony or loggia external part Splitcisystems are hung on the wall outside. It is more convenient if it is under the window or side of it. And under or next to the opening part. In this case, it is possible to maintain the climbers without calling.
When installing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, with your own hands on the wall next to the window, think about the height of its installation. You can arrange the top surface of the block to the upper edge of the window. In this case, leaning out of the window and insured, it will be possible to carry out work on the windowsill. The second option is the lower edge to align in the lower boundary of the window opening. Here it will be possible to lie down the stomach on the window sill, but it will not be possible to get to the exit location. That is, nevertheless will have to cause industrial climbers.
Those who mount and connect split systems professionally, to work, on average, takes hours. The cost of this service is considerable, but it is explained by the need to use expensive equipment. Good devices are really worth a lot, but many of them can be replaced with a simpler or rent. The only thing that will be difficult to find is a vacuum pump. It is really expensive equipment, but there is a technology that allows you to do without it. This is exactly what some installers do, who have such equipment simply no - they simply blend part of the freon, cleaning the pipes. This method can be used when installing a split system.
What you need to install the air conditioner with your own hands successful? First of all, you need some set of tools. With their help, the case will go faster. But if there is no special toolkit, it can be replaced by the adaptations easier. With them, work will take more time, but if you try, it will not affect this. So, it is necessary to mount the split system:
Well, as they said earlier, a vacuum pump is needed for high-quality starting system. It is not necessary to replace it, the only way - on the tracks up to 6 meters long to release part of the freon (method "PSHICK").
In addition, you will need screwdrivers, hexagon keys, level, hammer, perhaps some other tools, but they usually have in the farm or easy to find them.
In addition to the tools for installing the air conditioner, you will need a certain amount of materials. Without many of them, do not do.
As you can see, installing the air conditioner with your own hands requires serious training. Not only special tools, but also specific materials are needed.
If you want to do everything correctly, the installation of the air conditioner should begin with a careful study of the instruction. For the most part, they are similar, but allowances, requirements for the cross section of the cable, the length of the track, etc. may differ. Another plus from reading Manual - you will define exactly in what order work. In general, this is what needs to be done:
On this first stage self-mount The air conditioner is over. We will put the track further.
Outdoor and internal blocks of split systems are connected by two copper tubes and cable. Also, the drainage tube is displayed. All these communications can be laid on the wall on the wall, and then they fit into a special box. The second option is in the stroke and then you need to make the manufacturer of the groove, which will connect two blocks. But, first of all, you need to drill a hole in the wall. This is done after installing fasteners for blocks. And only after that the installation of the air conditioner continues with your own hands.
When laying in a plastic box, all communications are associated with one bundle. This can be tied up, but more often wedged with a metallized scotch - to further reduce heat transfer from copper pipes.
We have already connected the cable earlier, and the installation of the air conditioner is completed with your own hands with the connection of copper pipes, drainage. With drainage easier. At the bottom of the indoor unit there is a conclusion, that's where the hose or pipe is inserted. The location of the connection can be additionally sealing using the Plumbing Fuma tape. Also for sealing can use silicone sealant.
Next, connect copper tubes. We start in the indoor unit. Two ports are derived on the side wall - one with larger diameter fittings, the second is smaller. Which of them start - no matter. The procedure for such:
Actually everything is already connected, but it is necessary to have vacuuming or simply remove moisture and air from the working bodies of the air conditioner.
Why hold this procedure? During installation, air hit the system, there are also argon remains there. It is necessary to delete this mixture, otherwise it will significantly reduce the operating resource of the equipment. Naturally, it is better if there are special equipment. But, in the extreme case, you can do without it.
If there is a vacuum pump, everything is somewhat simpler. It usually goes two pressure gauges (low and high pressure) on them you can track down the pressure drop in the system, that is, to identify leaks. A vacuum pump is connected to the outlet block with a spool (filling port), turns on 15-20 minutes. During this time, it removes air and nitrogen residues from the system.
After this time, the pump is disconnected, but do not disconnect, but leave connected for another 20-30 minutes. All this time must be observed for testimony of pressure gauges. If they changed, there is a leakage in the system. Most likely - this is the place of connecting copper tubes and need to resettle them. If the testimony of the pressure gauges is stable, without turning off the pump, we fully open the valve that is at the bottom. Freon begins to learn from the block, filling the system (noise). We wear gloves and quickly unscrew the vacuum pump hose (Freon can damage the skin). After disconnecting the equipment, open the valve on the track at the top (the outputs of a smaller diameter). Now the installation of the air conditioner is finished with your own hands. You can turn on.
With the length of the route up to 5 meters, the installation of the air conditioner can be carried out without a vacuum pump. To purify the equipment there will be some amount of freon, but in a different way. The procedure for such:
And in this case, the installation of the air conditioner is completed with their own hands and the equipment is ready to work. But in this case, the tightness of the system is not checked and the freon can slowly disappear, and some air and argon remains in the system. In general, the decision is not perfect.
installation of the air conditioner with its own hands-makers install in advance, before the heat of the heat. In some cases, the installation of the air conditioner is made to save financial resources. The main condition is to clearly adhere to the instructions, work in the recommended place. Incorrectly selected parts can provoke a climatic device breakdown.
To form a general idea of \u200b\u200bthe organization internal device, And before installing air conditioning, we recommend considering the principle of operation of the system. Climatic consists of 2 equivalent blocks - compressor and evaporative. They are connected to each other with special adapters, nozzles and tubes.
The evaporative node is installed inside the dwelling, and the compressor - outside. High-performance and expensive models are equipped with one compressor and several inner blocks.
Refrigerant under high pressure Heads in the evaporation part. Then there is an extension of Freon, its gradual boiling and vaporization. It is this cold couple that absorbs the heat of the air. Climatic installation works with the active formation of water condensate, settling on a special radiator. At the final stage, the water is derived from the building along a special tube.
In the process of operation, the compressor pumped out the evaporation of freon. The pressure inside the block rises in the built-in pump. Gradually refrigerant under the action of temperature from the liquid state goes into vapor. A dense "fog" is sent to the condensate chamber for gradual cooling (a small fan is used for these purposes) and transition to a liquid state. Then the circle is closed and the process is looped.
The effectiveness and duration of the functioning of the house, as well as the amount of electricity consumed by the electricity, are determined by the intensity of the operation of the unit, the climatic characteristics of the region. If a heater is in the room near the climatic device, the level of electricity consumed increases, which is fraught with the output of the device. It can only provoke a breakdown. Room prescribed regular wet cleaning.
Connecting clutches and joints require sealing necessarily to level the likelihood of evaporation of freon or other refrigerant. Installing an external air conditioner unit is performed in such a way as it is below the inner part of the unit. The outer node is placed in a darkened place, away from sunlight.
Installation of air conditioning systems is technically complex, responsible, and therefore expensive event. All aspects are important in this issue - experience, practical skills, theoretical base and availability required tool. Listed factors determine the speed and quality of installation. We analyze the feasibility of using tools that are completed with the standard installation set.
Taking into account the application area they are divided into several functional groups.
Without the power tool, the installation of the air conditioner is simply impossible. Speech does not go about any specialized solutions:
The perforator is chosen powerful so that it will do without any problems to the end-to-end hole in the wall, through which the highway is laid between the inner and outer blocks. Low-power combined electric drills, where only the function of the perforator is provided, in this case it is not necessary. They are not able to drill brickwork.
Before installing air conditioning yourself, you should make sure the availability of all necessary tools.
For concrete Wall Additionally, the grinders will need to remove metal fittings, as well as other consumables - discs, drills, concrete bits.
Installation of the window air conditioner is carried out with the mandatory control of the horizontal level. You can use markers, markup pencils, construction or laser level. It also needs a number additional equipment. Air conditioners with installation can not be reliably and efficiently fixed without additional technical means.
Specialized tools are necessary for the qualitative and efficient functioning of climate equipment. Tools for soldering copper pipes, industrial type vacuum cleaner and vacuum pump.
Listed equipment for installation - basic. Do not do without additional supplies - Passatizhey, drywall, stepladers, metal scissors, screwdriver. Accurate list determines the owner taking into account specific conditions.
Installation of air conditioner are starting only after acquisition and preparation necessary equipment, tools and climatic equipment. Primarily fix on outer wall Outdoor block, after which internal work is carried out.
At all stages, it is extremely important to comply with security techniques, especially if we are talking about heights. Installation of an external block is one of the most important and responsible stages.
Installation of the window in general, and its outdoor part, in particular, on the walls country houses Not accompanied by any difficulties. But in the case of apartment buildings, not everything is so simple, the place is selected with special care. Solving, where to install air conditioning, pay attention to the sections with minimal natural illumination.
There are several basic rules:
In 90% of cases, the block is fixed in the northern or east side, under the window or at the bottom of the balcony. These are the unlawful rules for the installation of the air conditioner, mandatory in the environment of professionals. Upon their observance, it will not be much difficult to reach the outer part of the climatic appliance.
At the previously prepared markup, metal brackets are installed, screwed bolts as reliable as possible. Standard mounting air conditioner is carried out in such a way as to between the climatic unit and outdoor wall There was a distance of 10 cm. The gaps are close at the final stage, after connecting the device.
Installing the air conditioner with your own indoors, where to start? First of all, it is necessary to draw attention to the fact that the internal unit is categorically revealed to fix over the curtains, near the electrical appliances, over heaters or batteries - all these devices often become the cause of the failure of the block processor.
Before mounting the air conditioner, you should thoroughly check the wall for the gasket in it in the heating, water pipes, wiring.
The mounting of the metal plate from the standard components for the installation of air conditioners is beginning only under the condition that the plot for works is completely free: the distance from the ceiling is from 10 cm, from the angle of the wall - at least 5 cm. Two points are connected by the meter and mark the horizontal line. The internal unit is installed on the fixed metal plate.
The next stage of installation of the air conditioner, and to be more accurate, its indoor unit is preparation in the wall of the holes for connecting communication hoses, wiring, pipes for removal of liquid condensate. Indoor space It must be enough for the free placement of all elements in the wall.
An independent installation of the air conditioner is not possible without separate wiring for the indoor unit. For this, the wiring is suitable with a cross section of at least 1.5 square meters. mm. Mindably connects a separate machine for a climate instrument. Upon completion of the wiring laying, it is connected to the input of the shield (the indicator can be accurately defined by the "phase" and "zero" wire).
The terminals of the outer and internal blocks are connected to a multi-moist wiring (it is hosted in a hole prepared in the wall). The installation scheme is clearly described in the instruction that each climatic device is completed. With an independent installation of air conditioners at home it is extremely important that the terminals of the name coincide with the wires themselves. Otherwise, there is a risk of short circuit.
The standard kit for installing the air conditioner includes several copper tubes. They are neatly cut with a reserve of 1 meter for bends. The tubes are prepared by a special tool - pipe-bend, when it is used, the metal is not cracking, no dents are formed. Proper preparation includes and coating pipes with polyurethane foam hoses performing the role of thermal insulation.
At the ends of the tube dress special threaded flanges. The next stage of installation work is a high-quality collapse of copper tubes. This process is maximally accurately, in order to eliminate the risk of formation of grooves and microcracks. On the rolling nut should dress without any problems. As for the tightening, it is performed by a special dynamometric key.
Installation of the air conditioner continues with their own hands: pipelines are attached to the fitters. Confuse something impossible, because Copper nozzles have a different section and diameters. The flanges are reliably twisted on the fittings, while the connection must be extremely dense, but at the same time it is not necessary to allow the tube to shift, damage.
At the final stage, the installation of air conditioning systems is reduced to connecting the plastic pipe to the reinforced housing. For reliable fastening, a heat shrink tube from the delivery kit is used. Set drainage tube Better at maximum remoteness from the wall base.
Installation and installation of air conditioners will be defective without placing pipes in a special opening done in the wall. There they are gently and extremely align. Outside, the granted and submarine tubes are fixed by clamps for forest reliability. Near them placed the electrical wire for connecting to the outer block.
In the room holes blow mounting foamAs an alternative - is filled with liquid silicone. Installation of the air conditioner on the balcony and in the house involves checking the design for tightness with soap solution or cycling pump. The soap solution is erased with a sponge or cloth. When detecting defects, threads are tightened the tighter.
The correct installation of the air conditioner is described above. The owner should know that to remove moisture, dust and the smallest particles from the climate device, the system vacuuming is applied. It is performed on the complete completion of the final and high-quality sealing of the compounds, because It is impossible to get rid of the air completely. Air conditioning with installation is connected to a vacuum pump, air pumping takes about 1 hour.
Freon or other refrigerant pour into the system. The tank on the balcony is filled with a connected pressure gauge or adapter, since it is necessary to strictly monitor the pressure in the system. After preparation of the air conditioner, a special automatic disconnector is turned on independently, and the system switches to the test mode. With uniform and efficient air circulation, the hole in the wall is close to the mounting foam with the subsequent decor.
Installation of industrial air conditioners is performed exclusively by professionals, because These are expensive climatic setup complexes that require specialized equipment. Spare parts are part of the standard package, do not buy anything.
Now you know how to install air condition yourself and in which sequence to perform the appropriate work.
The scheme of installation of window air conditioners provides the possibility of mounting in winter. That's just have to be content with too comfortable conditions. In the highway should not get water or snow. It is better to put and pump the refrigerant at the plus temperature outside the window (at minus temperatures, the gland often fails because it is rubber).
To install air conditioners, it is not necessary to evaporate the system. Nut K. copper tube It will not be screwed to the end, then the control valve is opened, located at the thick tube. Under pressure, the air will be supplanted with Freon, and it will be necessary to quickly tighten the nut.
This method is incorrect, since the quality and sealing of the system is not possible. Installation of industrial air conditioners for this technology is not conducted.
Below is presented detailed video Instructions where the main stages of the installation of climatic systems are demonstrated.
