Many users think that turning off the air conditioner in time can save electricity after the indoor temperature drops to a suitable temperature. In reality, this will not only consume more electricity, but also increase the probability of air conditioning failure.
Any air conditioner has the function of temperature control. For fixed-frequency air conditioners, when the room temperature reaches the set temperature, the compressor of the air conditioner will stop, and the power at this time is very small, generally not exceeding100 w; When there is a big difference between the room temperature and the set temperature, the compressor starts to reduce the temperature to the set temperature. This process is similar to manual start-stop, but there will be a good control strategy inside the air conditioner to ensure the protection of the compressor, and frequent manual start-stop can not only ensure the protection of the compressor, increase the start-up loss of the compressor, but also easily lead to compressor failure.
For inverter air conditioners, the air conditioner will automatically control the operating power of the compressor according to the difference between the room temperature and the set temperature. When the difference between the room temperature and the set temperature is small, the compressor will enter the low power operation state. If it is turned off at this time, it will not be turned on until there is a big difference between the room temperature and the set temperature, so the advantages of inverter air conditioner cannot be fully exerted, not to mention the reduction of comfort. Therefore, whether it is a variable frequency air conditioner or a fixed frequency air conditioner, don't switch it on and off frequently. As long as there are people indoors, it will be more energy-saving and comfortable to keep the air conditioner on.
Mistaken common sense 2: there will be no problem if the air conditioner is idle for a long time.
For most people, electrical appliances that are not used in daily life will be idle until they are needed. Air conditioners that are left idle for a long time are prone to circuit failure due to moisture, and the compressor does not work for a long time, which will lead to poor lubrication or even rust of moving parts, increased friction, and serious problems such as jamming or even burning out the compressor when starting.
Household air conditioners should be started every 1-2 months when they are not used for a long time, and the air conditioners should run every 1-2 hours. The air conditioning circuit itself generates heat to eliminate moisture, which makes the compressor self-lubricating during operation, which is beneficial to prolong the service life of the air conditioner. In addition, it is best to take some dust-proof and moisture-proof measures for air conditioners that have not been used for a long time. Not only air conditioners, but also home appliances such as televisions and refrigerators.
Common sense of small household appliances: if you are in a hurry after home improvement, buy an air purifier.
In the face of air pollution in new houses, only one air purifier is needed to solve the problem, which is the idea of many users. Air purifiers mainly rely on activated carbon to absorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde. When reaching saturation, harmful indoor gases such as formaldehyde will continue to be released, and a large number of toxic gases will remain indoors, which will endanger the health of residents. So don't live in a newly renovated house right away. Air purifiers have an effect on air pollution, but they are not omnipotent. Pay attention to replacing the filter element regularly in the later stage.
Myth 2: Microwave ovens, induction cookers, etc. It is radioactive and should not be used frequently.
Don't be scared by the articles in your circle of friends. Our life is full of all kinds of radiation, even the most commonly used electric lights will have radiation. However, the radiation of most electrical appliances is extremely low and will not endanger human health. The manufacturers of microwave ovens and induction cookers have undergone strict protective treatment in the production process, so there is almost no problem of microwave electromagnetic leakage, and a small amount of radiation will not cause harm to human body, so they can be used with confidence.
