Indoor floor air conditioners are successfully used to cool city apartments and country houses. Such equipment does not require installation, and if the need for it is no longer needed, you can always put it in the closet.
Benefits of floor standing air conditioners for home
Home floor air conditioners have the following advantages:
- small size that allows you to use it anywhere;
- it is simple and inexpensive to install, no qualified assistance is required;
- a vent and ventilation are used to remove hot air. Some models do not have an air duct;
- there are models with a remote control, a timer and excellent filters, ionizers. That is, functionally, floor-standing household air conditioners are in no way inferior to split systems.
Disadvantages of floor standing air conditioners for home
Floor air conditioners for the home also have some disadvantages:
- They are used only in small rooms, since their power does not exceed 4 kilowatts;
- Quite noisy devices;
- It is necessary to periodically drain the condensate (in some models it evaporates).
How floor-standing air conditioners work
All floor-standing air conditioners for an apartment are divided into two large groups:
- with air duct;
- without air duct.
The operation of floor-standing household air conditioners with air ducts is based on the cycle of compression and expansion of freon. It is similar to how split systems work.
Only the whole process takes place in one building. Air from the room is drawn into the body 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 removed with the help of an air duct to the outside.
There are even floor-standing air conditioners for an apartment with two air ducts. Fresh air enters the room through one of them. That is, the room is ventilated at the same time.
When choosing an outdoor air conditioner for your home, it is better to give preference to models with a condensation tank.
It will have to be cleaned periodically. But if the condensate evaporates (and there are such developments), the humidity rises in the room.
Air conditioners without ducts use water porous filters to cool the air. Passing through a wet filter, the air gives off some of the heat to it. It is truly a mobile air conditioner. You can install it anywhere: in an apartment, in a country house, in a garage. The price of such a room floor air conditioner is much lower than that of a split system, and installation is simple.
Electricity consumption of a home floor air conditioner without an air duct is not more than 85 watts. But such equipment can only cope with a room up to 30 square meters. meters.
In addition, water constantly evaporates during operation. An open window is required to remove it.
