"Air conditioning installation: three parts quality, seven parts installation. Some consumers believe that moving an air conditioner is a simple task and opt for local individual repair shops or 'hit-and-run' teams to save money, often to their own detriment. Incorrect installation can easily lead to issues like refrigerant leaks, affecting cooling efficiency. Moreover, the air conditioning industry has a rule of 'who installs, who is responsible; who moves, who is responsible.' Even if your air conditioner is still under warranty, if a fault occurs after being moved by an unregistered repair shop like a 'hit-and-run' team, you won't be able to enjoy the related rights and benefits."
Trial Run:
Test the air conditioner to ensure all functions are operating normally before relocation.
Recycle refrigerants and dismantle indoor and outdoor connection lines.
Be sure to mark both ends of the connection wire to prevent potential malfunctions caused by connecting the wire incorrectly during assembly.
Maintain the cleanliness of the connection tube interface.
Due to the accumulation of dust on used air conditioners, it's crucial to ensure the cleanliness of the bell mouth and joint during the removal of the pipe connection bolt. This prevents dust and debris from entering the pipeline, which can lead to blockages after relocation. Before installing the connection interface, recheck for any dirt in the bell mouth and inside, and clean it before covering with the bolt. If it rains, it's especially important to wrap the pipe opening with a plastic bag when disconnecting the connection pipe to prevent water from entering and causing ice blockages.
When dismantling the indoor unit, prevent condensate from flowing into the circuit board.
Due to condensate remaining in the indoor unit's water tray and drainpipe, the indoor unit must not be placed upside down or flipped over during disassembly or relocation. Instead, the end with the circuit board should be slightly elevated to allow the water to drain out from the other end, thus preventing the condensate from entering the circuit board and avoiding electrical malfunctions upon startup.
Five, inspect the bell mouth of the connecting tube.
Due to long-term compression, some bell mouth roots on the connecting pipes have a deep circular indentation. These bell mouths are prone to cracking, breaking, and leaking when the machine is started. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the bell mouths for a thorough inspection, and any non-compliant ones must be cut off and re-expanded to prevent potential hazards.
During the process of external machine handling and installation, do not flip or tilt excessively. Avoid using your hands to lift the machine by grabbing the cutoff valve.
In addition, attention should be paid to handling the equipment with care during relocation, ensuring a scientific disassembly process, a reasonable tube withdrawal direction, and moderate bending force.
Seven: Pay attention to the following aspects during reinstallation:
Are there any loose terminal connections or other wiring points, to prevent the occurrence of sparking or other hazards; check for signs of wire aging, and replace any aged wires as necessary.
2. Inspect the connection pipes and joints for any signs of refrigerant leakage. With machines that have been in use for a while, oil stains are typically found at the leakage points if there is refrigerant leakage.
3. Measure the insulation resistance of air conditioners to prevent the occurrence of leakage.
4. Is the drainage of the outflow pipe reasonable?
