Indoor floor air conditioners are successfully used for cooling city apartments and country houses. Such equipment does not require installation, and if the need for it has disappeared, you can always put it in the pantry.
Benefits of Floor-mounted Home Air Conditioners
Home floor air conditioners have the following advantages:
- small size, allowing you to use it anywhere;
- Installing it is simple and inexpensive; qualified assistance is not required;
- a vent, ventilation is used to remove hot air. Some models do not have a duct;
- There are models with a remote control, a timer and excellent filters, ionizers. That is, functionally floor-standing domestic air conditioners are in no way inferior to split systems.
Disadvantages of floor air conditioners for the home
Floor air conditioners for the home have some disadvantages:
- They are used only in small rooms, since their power does not happen more than 4 kilowatts;
- Fairly noisy devices;
- It is necessary to periodically drain the condensate (on some models it evaporates).
How floor air conditioners work
All floor air conditioners for an apartment are divided into two large groups:
- with air duct;
- without duct.
The operation of floor-mounted domestic air conditioners with air ducts is based on a cycle of compression and expansion of freon. It is similar to the principle of operation of split systems.
Only the whole process takes place in one building. The air from the room is drawn into the housing in two streams: the first is cooled on the evaporator and fed back into the room. The second is used to cool the condenser. It is he who needs to be diverted out through the duct.
There are even floor-mounted air conditioners for an apartment with two air ducts. According to one of them, fresh air enters the room from the outside. That is, airing of the room is carried out at the same time.
When choosing a floor air conditioner for the home, it is better to give preference to models with a condensate tank.
It will have to be cleaned periodically. But if the condensate evaporates (and there are such developments), the humidity in the room rises.
Air conditioners without ducts use water porous filters to cool the air. Passing through a wet filter, air gives off part of the heat to it. It is truly a mobile air conditioner. You can install it anywhere: in the apartment, in the country, in the garage. The price of such an indoor floor air conditioner is much lower than that of a split system, and installation is simple.
Electricity consumption by a home floor air conditioner without duct is not more than 85 watts. But such equipment can only cope with a space of up to 30 square meters. meters.
In addition, water constantly evaporates during operation. To remove it requires an open window.
