The correct selection and installation of a pump for the air conditioner ensures a long and uninterrupted operation. Installation is carried out by specialists of a climate company that supplies the entire set of equipment.
Installation of various types of pumps
Installing a pump for air conditioners has its own characteristics. The condensate collection tank equipped with a fill sensor is mounted on a drain pipe or in a drain bath, that is, directly inside the air conditioner.
But the pump can be installed on any part of the drainage system at a distance provided by the pump manufacturer. Suitable communication boxes, a niche above the air conditioner case or a space above the false ceiling. This method of installing the pump for the air conditioner makes it completely invisible.
Rules for installing pumps for air conditioners
When installing a pump for an air conditioner, the following requirements must be taken into account:
- the tank is mounted strictly horizontally;
- after installation is attached;
- condensate drain pipes are selected according to the diameter in accordance with the pump model. When installing them, sagging or loops are avoided;
- all horizontal sections of the drainage route are mounted with a slope towards the branch;
- for power use only the wires recommended in the instructions for the pump;
- some parts of the pump may heat up, heat must be vented.
If during installation all the above points are taken into account, the equipment will not break for a long time.
Otherwise, you will have to resort to replacing the air conditioner pump.
Replacing the air conditioning drain pump
They resort to replacing an air conditioner pump if, for some reason, the pump fails, condensate from the air conditioner on flows to walls or ventilation ducts.
Almost any model of drainage pumps has a three-level fill indicator. At the first filling level, the pump turns off because the tank is empty. At the second level, the pump turns on - the tank is full and needs to be emptied. And the third is the emergency level. It is the highest, condensation may leak. In this situation, the air conditioner must be turned off.
In the event of a breakdown, the replacement of the air conditioning pump is carried out by specialists from the supplier company.
Only a competent selection of the pump makes it possible to drain the condensate even in special situations. At the same time, the problem of “fitting” the climate technology into the room and ensuring uninterrupted operation without leaks and damage to walls and facades is being solved.
