A floor-mounted mobile air conditioner will become a real salvation for rooms where, for some reason, it is impossible to install stationary appliances. The availability of its installation, the ability to work not only in the cooling mode, but also in the heating mode are increasingly attracting the attention of buyers to this device.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the power of the device. For every 10 m², there should be about 1 kW of cooling power. If the air conditioner is intended for an office space with a large number of working equipment, you should opt for a more powerful device.
Step 2
If you want to free yourself from the extra hassle of collecting the accumulated condensate, purchase a mobile air conditioner with a spacious condensate trap. The higher its volume, the less often it will be necessary to empty the tank from liquid. The built-in evaporator will completely allow you to forget about the tedious daily drainage.
Step 3
Think about the functionality of the device first. Most air conditioners are designed for cooling and heating the room as standard. If this is not enough for you, give preference to devices for ionization or air purification and even elimination of foreign odors. The built-in timer and control panel will greatly facilitate the operation process.
Step 4
Check in advance the noise level from a mobile air conditioner, especially if it is intended for a children's room or bedroom. It is indicated in decibels, and the less this indicator is, the more comfortable the operating device will be perceived.
Step 5
Give preference to a mobile air conditioner equipped with an inverter motor. Its presence will not only reduce the noise level, but will also reduce energy consumption by almost a third. Thanks to the frequency converter, the device works more stable, smoothly changing the cooling power. However, in country houses, where problems with voltage drops occur much more often, such a compressor will not last long due to its special sensitivity to unstable power supply.
Step 6
Take into account the dimensions of the floor-standing air conditioner according to the living area. It is necessary to decide in advance about its location, because according to the rules of operation, there should be at least 30 cm between the device and the wall, and the length of the corrugation usually does not exceed five meters.
