Floor air conditioners have many advantages over other types of climate technology. The price of floor air conditioners is acceptable, and their optional is sufficient to create a pleasant atmosphere in the room. What features do you need to know before buying a floor air conditioner?
The advantages of floor air conditioners
The main difference between floor air conditioners and the competition is the lack of a special installation. Having bought a floor air conditioner, you get a small but very productive device that consumes a little electricity and is able to work alternately in all rooms.
Installation consists only in bringing the duct to the street through a hole in the window or ventilation, as well as ensuring the discharge of condensate. Many of the best models are equipped with condensate tanks with a capacity of up to 8 liters. So the problem of drainage is removed automatically.
If you buy a floor air conditioner without an air duct, installation is reduced to connecting to an electrical outlet.
The price of a floor air conditioner without an air duct is slightly higher than models with an air duct. However, convenience covers all costs.
Floor air conditioners without duct
This is a novelty in the market. Instead of refrigerant, water is used. The innovation works according to the simplest principle - during the passage of air through an abundantly moistened porous filter, water takes away heat.
The unique system operates without condensation, there is no need for fluid drainage.
The price of a floor air conditioner 13 - 17 thousand rubles.
It is interesting that the effectiveness of such a system is higher when the air vents are ajar or there is a forced inflow-blow system. The hotter the room, the more you will feel the coolness of a purchased floor air conditioner without an air duct.
Advantages of floor air conditioners without duct:
- no need for hot air;
- no drainage system needed;
- work quieter than conventional floor air conditioners;
- provide air flow;
- regulate the humidity in the room;
- consume little electricity.
Despite the low price, floor air conditioners without ducts have a number of disadvantages:
- it is impossible to calculate work efficiency in advance;
- periodically it is necessary to add ordinary tap water to the system. The frequency of addition depends on air temperature, materials and humidity. As a rule, the tank must be filled once every 2 to 4 days.
