In recent years, our fellow citizens neizbalovannym faced with such an abundance of modern household appliances and building materials, that many a head went round. But if a microwave oven, Vidic and other hot tub with whirlpool, we still somehow figured out that air conditioning is still causing a lot of questions. However, it is not surprising: in recent years has been written about him so much tales that fit and get confused. Therefore, it is time to clarify this issue. So what is the air conditioner, how it works, and what problems can solve? Where did this miracle? The date of the invention is considered to be the air conditioner in 1902, when an American engineer Willis Carrier created an unprecedented first device to one of New York publishing houses. By design, it really was air conditioning, but his primary goal was not to create a pleasant coolness to employees, and the fight against humidity, which is good compromise print quality. However, as the transformation of the wild capitalism that we are unsuccessfully trying to build today, even air conditioning - and he turned his face to the man. The first tentative steps in this direction have been made only in the mid-twenties, when the air conditioning system has appeared in a department store in Detroit. However, in those years, the air conditioning was a rarity, cost is expensive, and usually designed specifically for the particular building. Direct descendants of these units are the modern central air conditioning system, are still used as a coolant water or brine water. However, the triumphal procession in the wide world air conditioner began only in mid-forties, after creating the first portable system designed for one room. The launch of these air-conditioners, later known as the window was the first in the U.S. The Company now and then in Europe and Japan. In those days it was a huge step forward. Installation of window air conditioners to horrible, does not require special skills and expensive tool, and used as a refrigerant Freon does not freeze even at low temperatures. Because of this demand for window air conditioners has become a rapidly growing, and prices fell to a public level. Expansion of production has been pre-heated rapid development of oil in the hot Middle Eastern countries, which along with Japan and the U.S. in the 70-ies have become major consumers of this technology. Window air conditioners are available now, only in countries with warm climates, they often are established in the window and straight into a thin wall. (Roughly the same act, and we have equipment for thin trading pavillions). Externally obtained very good, well when you consider the price, it's just wonderful. The next important step in the development of climate technology was the invention in 1961, the first split-system, whose name comes from the English split - split, cleave. Split air-conditioner into two blocks, removing the most bustling street in the unit - the compressor, the first guess in Japan. First came a split system with indoor units of the wall type, but over time have been proposed, and other designs, including split systems with indoor units column, floor, ceiling, tape and duct types. Were created, and air conditioning, in which a single external unit has two or more internal, and therefore became known as' Multi-systems. Taking this direction in Japan have created an alternative to central air conditioning system - VRF-systems that can create comfort once in dozens of areas. Rapidly developing the production of split systems, companies from the country of the Rising Sun began to actively press their U.S. competitors. At present, a split system landslide victory in East and Southeast Asia, Europe and Australia. And here in the Americas, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Middle East - wherever there is a strong U.S. influence, is still dominated by window air conditioners. In addition, in Europe in the course of local invention - a mobile air-conditioners, which do not require special installation and can move from room to room. The main producer and consumer of these products is Italy. Not stood still and manufacturers of central air conditioning systems, which are widely used to create comfort for large areas and even entire buildings. How does this thing work? The only household appliance, which is correct to compare the air-conditioner - a refrigerator. He just freezes my womb, and the heat drops in the surrounding area. (You can verify this by bringing the arm back.) Approximately the same effect, and air conditioning, but it cools the room, and the excess heat is transferred into the street. But if you want to warm the room, on the contrary - the conditioner takes the heat off the street and carries him into the house. How does air conditioner transfers heat from a cold in the heated room? The laws of physics are not violated - the conditioner is able to get up such tricks with two laws of nature. Firstly, the evaporation of any liquid absorbs heat. To verify this assertion, it is enough to drip into the hands of gasoline, alcohol or acetone. You immediately feel the cold. By contrast, the condensation of steam heat is released. It remains only to make the liquid boil at low temperature, absorbing heat and condense at a high. To achieve this effect, you just need to change the pressure. Verify the validity of this assertion can, climbing high into the mountains. Because of the low pressure there is no meat to cook - the water boils even at 70-75 degrees. In a split-system as a "mountain" carries a compressor, which creates a negative pressure, forcing the freon go in circles, evaporates in the indoor unit and then turning into a liquid in an external. If the room does not need cooling and warming, the blocks are exchanged. Roughly the same work and window air conditioner, but all his machines are placed in one case, part of which looks out onto the street. But mobile monoblock, a wholly-room clears heat through the corrugated hose, which displays in the window, open window or door. But sometimes there are so-called evaporative type air conditioners, which are more correctly called the cooler. Strictly speaking, this is not air-conditioners, because they have no compressor or heat exchanger or coolant. Lowering the temperature in such devices is provided by the evaporation of water. (This is like waving a room with a wet towel). Achieved at the expense of long-term effect in a fairly wet climate is unrealistic. After a couple of hours of humidity in the refrigerated room to reach 90-95 percent, and the temperature creep up again. As you know, in high humidity heat is even harder! What can the air conditioner? Of course, the main task of air-conditioning - cooling the air. A number of firms still produces the simplest model, which is nothing more and do not know. However, modern split systems allow you to perform other tasks. Many of today's air conditioners are able to heat. However, the cut in a split-system or okonnik "on heat" in tridtsatigradusny frost yet is not recommended. First, the good of the air conditioner in a little cold. At minus thirty, he hardly gives 40 percent of its rated capacity. Secondly, at low temperatures in the crankcase oil thickens and loses its properties, and therefore wear the compressor at the time of each "cold start" is comparable to the amortization of a few days of work. Of course, you can gently heat the butter with an electric heater, but it does not eliminate the problem entirely. But in the spring and fall when temperatures range between -5 and +10 degrees Celsius, and even heating (or have) not working, bask in the air conditioner - a nice thing. In contrast, convectors, oil coolers and heaters to one kilowatt of electricity a modern split-system shows about 3 kW of heat! The laws of physics are not violated, since electricity is not for heat, and on its transfer from one place to another. And thanks to the powerful indoor fan, warm air does not stay under the ceiling, and therefore the effectiveness of this heat is very high. But if you absolutely want to bask in the air conditioner in the winter, you can purchase a model with an electric heater. In winter it will operate as an ordinary heat gun, but because the compressor does not suffer. In addition to cooling and heating, a modern air conditioner is able to solve another problem - dehumidification. This is especially true in summer, when before the rain starts to "float" and only reduce the humidity, you can take a deep breath. But keep it at a given level of air conditioner can not, the truth in life is from him and is not required. These problems arise in the conditioning of ATS, television and radio stations, computer rooms and other facilities, stunning and complex electronics, and can be solved with the help of special equipment. And finally, the fourth function of the air conditioner - air purification. Most modern air conditioners have only one filter to protect our lungs and the heat exchanger of the indoor unit from dust and poplar fluff and other debris dangling in the air. From time to time the air filter cleaned in warm water or clean with a vacuum cleaner. As an option, but a number of brands in the standard are fine filters able to capture particles of up to one-hundredth of a micron: the smallest dust, pollen, odors, cigarette smoke. The service life of such filters (they can not be recovered) is strongly dependent on air pollution, but in a city seldom exceeds 3-4 months. Choosing the types of air conditioners air conditioner, especially stands to determine the type. What you need: a split-system "okonnik or mobile monoblock? Let's start with "okonnika. It can be recommended to those on a tight budget, but to do without air conditioning can not. Somewhere in the Krasnodar region, even with this technique you will feel a "new Russian". Besides "okonnik" requires no special installation, which will please all the people living far from centers of civilization. Mobile air conditioners are well suited to those who often change their place of residence, for example, takes shelter. In this scenario, each time okonnik break out, let alone dismantle a split-system will be very expensive. Mobile air conditioner - a good option for a country cottage or country house, in which scary to leave such an expensive device, such as air conditioning. With the end of the summer season it is easy to take with them into the city right in the trunk of a car. However, some owners to buy a mobile air-conditioning in the hope that it will help to condition all the rooms in a large apartment. This is misleading. To make the room was cool, air-conditioner has to work constantly. While it will cool one room, the other will have time to warm up again. And finally, a split system - the most popular type of air conditioners in most countries. In many cases, they are the best solution as they give greater freedom in choosing the type and location of the internal device. The most common are the split-system units with internal wall type. They are cheap, compact, does not require a ceiling and a good fit in almost any decor. For this reason, more than 80 percent sold in the world of split-systems are of this type. Split systems with indoor units floor-ceiling type have two options for installation. The first - the ceiling is most common in air conditioning shops - "marbles", the walls are not suitable for placement of internal blocks of the wall type. The second option - on the wall near the floor - an interest in the conditioning of small rooms, "the eyeballs" full of people and technology. Any other option except outdoor location of the indoor unit when the air flow goes up, people would have risked the imminent cold refrigerated room. When conditioning solid offices sin not to use features that give a split-system cluster and channel types. Internal components of air conditioners is almost entirely in the hung ceiling, and therefore do not violate the established interior. But most importantly - they allow mix with fresh air, however, it is necessary to conduct additional air duct exit to the street. Another plus cassette and duct air conditioners - the possibility of a very even distribution of cooled or heated air. Being over any point of the room, cassette air conditioner can blow air in one, two, three or four directions, and therefore indispensable in the areas of complex shape. Even more opportunities are opened by using the channel (in other minitsentralnyh) models. With the help of the duct system can produce chilled air in two, three, five, ten or more locations, making the air conditioner is almost imperceptible. And if necessary you can distribute cooled or heated air to several rooms. And, finally, air conditioners column or, in other words, closet type the place in restaurants, bars, lobbies of hotels, theaters - places where from time to time requires a powerful cooling. Split-column-type system does not intrude into the interior of the established and can be easily removed, since they have no attachment to the walls, floor or ceiling. Dangers real and imagined in the national press was a lot of publications that fairly frightened most impressionable owners conditioners. First of all, we are talking about the so-called Legionnaires' disease. If all, indeed it was so scary, manufacturer of air conditioners would be whiling away the long days in the company Shoko Asahara. However, in a split-systems, as well as in window air conditioners, "Legionella" not found, it Bring the water suspension, heated to 30-35 degrees Celsius. And in household air conditioners condensate has a temperature just above zero, and also immediately removed from the apparatus. Therefore, the chance of getting Legionnaires' is zero. Problem is relevant only for central air conditioning systems, and even then not for everyone. Legionella usually climb into the back water system with cooling towers, but my bad luck - in our country it is almost not. Another common myth speaks of the dangers mounted on the air conditioner filters, allegedly caught in the air beneficial to humans negatively charged particles - "Aeron". As a result of executions over the air, it becomes clear, but dead. To see the absurdity of this assertion, it suffices to look under the front panel of the air conditioner. Most modern split systems and all window air conditioners have only one filter, which is a fine mesh. Even non-physics person understands that to detain the individual atoms it is clearly not in a position, but because Aeron fly through it, like mosquitoes over a volleyball net. Another "horror stories" and willingly voiced by the press, claims that "air-conditioning systems of large buildings" can spread the viral infection throughout the building. That is to deliver each raznezhivshemusya under the air conditioning of your personal microbe. It is not clear how viruses are going to get into the duct system by which fresh, cool air enters the apartment or workplace. The fact that in modern central air conditioning and forced-air exhaust facilities supplied and removed from the room air does not have direct contact (thanks to heat recovery). For this reason, "air-conditioning systems in large rooms" do not increase, and reduce the likelihood of infection, especially during epidemics. After all, they are remarkably ventilate the room by removing saturated air microbes on the street and replace him feeding fresh. Write and the other equally "horrible" things. But what really needs to fear, because this technique, the proposed "gray" unofficial importers. They can shove your "special" air conditioners collected in semi-underground factory, located somewhere in China. This year this problem will be particularly relevant because of the financial crisis and a rainy summer in the "Middle Kingdom" has accumulated 5 million air-conditioners, which are aggressively searching for the way to foreign markets. Much of these split systems and okonnikov made in joint ventures, and so apparently they are not much different from brand-name products. This is important! Think in advance where you are placing an external air conditioner unit. It is not necessary to ask installers to install it on a bare wall, 16-storey skyscraper. This will not only complicate and make more expensive installation, but also further complicate the maintenance of the outdoor unit, which does not harm the periodic cleaning and protection from falling icicles. The average air conditioner removes from the air from 1 to 2 liters of water per hour, and therefore pre-negotiate with the seller, where he is going to bring drainage pipe. The best option - tap water in the sewers, but if not, should the pipeline on the street. This will allow the use air conditioning at subzero temperatures without fear of freezing of diverted water. In no case can not accept the fact that the condensate is blended in a jar. "

Much of these split systems and okonnikov made in joint ventures, and so apparently they are not much different from brand-name products. However, their "durability" and the quality you will certainly be disappointed. This technique usually is not adapted to Russian conditions and not suitable for working at low temperatures. Sometimes it just turns off as soon as the thermometer drops below +10-15 C! Another peccadillo "gray" import - trade of machinery, rejected because in branded plants. In order to guarantee to avoid a meeting with the "left" a commodity, there is only one way - to turn to a major supplier or dealer. Worth bearing in mind that many reputable firms have long employed in the market and valuing their reputation, have joined the association - APIC. Log into this elite club is open only to firms responsible for quality of products and having at least one year work perfectly. And here is something to fear is not worth it, because it's air-conditioners, collected on the company factories in Thailand, Malaysia and Taiwan. These businesses have been built from the ground up by leading Japanese manufacturers, and they are wholly owned. The level of automation of manufacturing and providing the most modern equipment, sometimes even higher than that of parent companies. Not for nothing more than a half of their production is exported, including to Europe, as part of the output is sent back to Japan. And the main motivation for the transfer of production to those countries served by no means cheap labor. The main reason is that in Japan, building land is extremely expensive, and in Thailand and Malaysia, just a penny. If you add on to that low taxes, proximity to sources of raw materials and major markets, it all becomes clear. By the way, are moving their production abroad, not only Japanese. So do the Americans, but for somewhat different reasons. The fact that the issue of a split system in the U.S. is simply unprofitable. The domestic market consumes no more than 50 thousand pieces per year and the cost of delivery air-conditioner from USA to Europe or Asia makes it golden. As a result, the production moved closer to major markets. Several Japanese companies have production in Europe. The best known enterprise Sanyo-Argo-Clima in Italy, Daikin in Belgium and Mitsubishi Electric in the UK. In addition, in Spain, collecting semi-model Hitachi. Major role in the construction of these plants have played a high import duties, to make production more profitable place. As a rule, European plants of Japanese companies provide domestic needs of the EU countries, but such products falls into Russia. In the opinion of experts, the quality of European and Asian assembly is on one level. What brand prefer? In this regard it is difficult to make comprehensive recommendations. It all depends on the thickness of the bag, and aesthetic preferences, the more so because the choice is wide, as never before. Virtually all major manufacturers represented in our country. It is well-known Japanese firms: Daikin, Hitachi, Fujitsu General, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy, Panasonic, Sanyo, Sharp and Toshiba. For those who prefer the cheaper Korean technique can easily find conditioners LG and Samsung. There is a European production - is a French brand Airwell and Supra, and Italian - Argo, DeLonghi, Mariani Clima and Mizushi. Israel is represented by firms Electra and Tadiran, and the honor of defending U.S. Carrier, Fedders, General Electric, Gibson, Trane, York and the White-Westinghouse. In recent years, develops, and domestic production is represented by Elemash factory near Moscow. The quality of these products to world standards, and prices are somewhat lower than for imported equipment. This is important! If you are doing repairs, air conditioning is desirable to set up how the room will be held on the finishing work. In this case, all communications between the blocks can be hidden in the wall. In addition, installation of split systems at the stage of repair costs in 1,3-1,5 times cheaper than in a room with a completed finish. Choosing air-conditioning, you must at least roughly know what the cooling power you need to pay off all the excess heat. This can be done based on the fact that over 1 square meter glazing to the premises receive an average of 0.45 kW of heat, a person produces about 0.15 kW, and office equipment turns into heat energy by about 30 percent of power consumption (one computer allocates 0,3 kW, the laser printer - 0,4 kW photocopier - 0,5 kW). On this basis, we choose air conditioning, cooling capacity exceeds teplopostupleniya of lighting that are in a room of people and office equipment. However, 10 sq.m. shall be at least 1 kW of cold, which corresponds to the minimum teplopostupleniyam from sunlight or artificial light for a ceiling height of not more than 3 meters. It's worth noting that the price stated in the pricelist firms should add 10-12 percent on accessories (mount external unit, decorative boxes, copper pipe, drain pipes, cables) and 20-25 percent of the assembly. This figure is not so great when you consider that in Europe, Japan and mounting costs 50-70% of equipment costs. Of course, you can find a team "shabashniks and save hundreds of dollars, but it can turn into big problems because of poor quality installation can" ruin "even the best equipment. Also worth bearing in mind that the warranty gives the buyer is not the manufacturer, but the company has set air conditioning, but because in the event of any failure to make any demands with shabashniks "will not be easy. Think in advance where you are placing an external air conditioner unit. It is not necessary to ask installers to install it on a bare wall, 16-storey skyscraper. This will not only complicate and make more expensive installation, but also further complicate the maintenance of the outdoor unit, which does not harm the periodic cleaning and protection from falling icicles. Much better he would "feel" on the balcony, or other maloprimetnom place. The average air conditioner removes from the air from 1 to 2 liters of water per hour, and therefore pre-negotiate with the seller, where he is going to bring drainage pipe. The best option - tap water in the sewers, but if not, should the pipeline on the street. In this case, care must be taken to be executed heater drain pipe. This will allow the use air conditioning at subzero temperatures without fear of freezing of diverted water. In no case can not accept the fact that the condensate is blended in a jar. " This will not only ruin the interior, but also will result in endless puddles on the floor. It must be remembered that the quality conditioner can last a half to two times longer, and therefore, choosing air-conditioning, do not skimp on the prestige of the brand. The difference in price between the technique of luxury and consumer goods today is from 15 to 30 percent, though the cost may vary almost in half! Window air conditioner must not be blocked with thick curtains or blinds. In this case, it will create comfort is not in the room and in the space between the window and curtains. Choosing a window air conditioner, make sure that its width is less than the width of the window. If your home or office installed stained glass windows or in frames made of PVC or aluminum, installation of window air conditioner may become the "gold". Moreover, in this case air conditioner will not work on the hood. " Windowed conditioner installing necessary to remember that six away two meters away towards ejection cold (heated) air no sit best. In any mobile air conditioner compressor is located indoors, but because of its noise characteristics close to those of the outdoor unit of split-redundant system. For this reason, when buying a test apparatus, setting the lowest possible temperature and turning the fan on full speed. Find out in advance the amount of condensate trap for mobile monoblocks. If it is too small, you have every two or three hours to pour the water, because the action of filling the air conditioner automatically turns off.
