According to the versatility of the impact on the indoor microclimate, modern split systems often exceed some installations for central air conditioning. Close of an hour, when these devices will be called complex life support systems.
In the article "
The weather was ordered? " We started talking about the possibilities of modern split systems. At the same time, they described how efficiently with their help you can regulate the temperature and relative humidity of the air, as well as organize the supply or supply and exhaust ventilation. It must be said that the air conditioners are forces today and deep cleaning of the filling room of an apartment of air from pollution. Moreover, by effectiveness, such a clinic is sometimes comparable to the work of specialized air cleaners.
Clean security
The quality of air in the premises of the modern house is constantly decreasing. Dangerous pollution and allergens appear directly in the dwelling as a result of human life and representatives of its fauna (tobacco smoke, animal wool, dust mites), and also enter the rooms from the street (pollen of plants, Gare Idr.). Therefore, the purchase of an air conditioner, which is capable of performing a part-time function of the air cleaner, is a rational step. Indeed, the fan of the indoor unit drives the entire air indoor through the housing on average 5-15 times per hour. To ensure its cleaning, on the stream path, behind the air intake panel, it is enough to put certain filters.
The eight filtering system of any wall inner block split-system-filters coarse and fine air purification.
Coarse filter (made, as a rule, from a material that resembles a line with a diameter of about 0.2 mm) is designed for pre-purification of air, as well as to protect the evaporative heat exchanger of the air conditioner from the poplar fluff and large particles. It is located behind the front panel and overlaps the entire air channel at the inlet to the split system (that is, it is full-size). Extract models, such as MSZ-GC / GA (Mitsubishielectric, Japan), a coarse filter is impregnated with an antioxidant composition, and its service life is 9 years, which is comparable to the "life lifespan" of the air conditioner. RAS-JH1, RAS-EH1 (Hitachi, Japan) Metal Air Filters are installed, neutralizing unpleasant odors and preventing bacteria. According to manufacturers, these devices differ from the models from the "fishing" of increased reliability and durability, and they are very easy for them to care.
All coarse filters need regular care: they need to be washed under the jet of water, preferably with detergent. For users who do not want to burden themselves like work, the Nocria air conditioner is suitable (Fujitsu General, Japan), in which the mesh air filters are automatically cleaned. After certain intervals, the air conditioner frees its filters from the dust accumulated on them, throwing it into special dust collectors using the brushes provided for this. The service of the wall split system is reduced to emptying its dust collectors approximately 1-2 times a year. When activating the AC Robot function in Wall Split Systems Flagship (Panasonic, Japan), dust is automatically removed from the air conditioner to the duct street. Pollution from the filter surface sucks a vacuum nozzle moving over it. The filter is cleared cyclically, and not immediately, but in parts. How much time and when to clean-solves the microprocessor of the split system: it depends on the total time of its operation. Clearing the entire surface of the filter is completed every 36 hours of air conditioning.
For fine air purification in the inner air conditioner unit, it is often installed small (size from 205cm and more) rectangular filtering elements from porous material, fixed in the holders on a coarse filter or on the inner block case. The material from which they are made are saturated with various components in the manufacture. The latter provide deactivation of contaminants entering the surface of the filtering elements from air conditioned through air conditioner, or fill the air flow to various useful components (for example, from filters in the air can "blow out" a substance containing vitamin C).
Thus, in the system filtering system GKP, NKP, SKHP series (TOSHIBA, JAPAN), six filtering elements for fine cleaning are used. Filters "Coffee extract" and "Vitamin C" are saturated with air in the room with antioxidants and vitamins. Foreign smells from the air are removed using the insert "Super Toleric". Finally, the anti-virus protection of the room is provided by the sterilizing properties of the elements of "bioenzym", "bamboo extract" and "Ginkgo extract". SRK-ZGX, SRK-ZE and SRK-ZG (Mitsubishi Heavy, Japan) are applied by allergens cleaning filter. It is saturated with an enzyme and carbamide, delays and deactivates pollen of plants, animal wool, and destroys all types of mold and viruses. To remove the allergens accumulating on its surfaces, the dry filter is automatically moistened with condensate water, then heated and dried (this mode is activated using the button on the remote control). AV models KSGA and KSGH (Kentatsu, Japan) To clean the air from domestic smells, a photocatalytic filter element-mineral-polymer composite was used from a thermoplastic resin with a filler in the form of zeolite or calcium phosphate (apatite) foamed during thermal molding. Adding plugs of titanium dioxide as a catalyst of a photochemical reaction contributes to the fact that the composite simultaneously serves as a filter and activates photocatalysis. Titanium dioxide is completely not consumed, but under the influence of electromagnetic radiation, chemical reactions accelerates, as a result of which the organic fragile substance molecules fall on the surface of this filter decompose into simple components of CO2 and H2O. BSGH The recoverer of the adsorbing ability of the filter is the sunlight, so the photocatalytic filter is needed 1 time in 6 months and dried in the sun. Swimmets KSGA The source of waves serves as a UV recirculator, and here for the photocatalytic filter the sunlight is not mandatory.
When purchasing air conditioners with filtering elements for fine air purification, it is necessary to show a certain dilution, focusing not so much on the claims of the cleaning system, as to the reputation of the manufacturer's company in the market. Hospital, not all companies produce filters based on serious developmental development. There are cases when the decision to equip the air conditioner in one way or another "miraculous" element is taken as a result of the work of the plant marketing department, and the production immediately "customize" to the expected market requests. The air-reading abilities of filtering elements in air conditioners such firms are often very modest, and they cannot compete with devices specially created for these purposes. In love with the purchase of a split system, it is important to clarify whether it will be possible to purchase new filter elements instead of their time. When the replacement time comes (and the service life on average is from 2-3 months to 3 years), it often finds out that new consumables in our country can not buy them simply ...

The living room is helped to normalize the temperature and supports air purity. If there are smokers in the house, then you are best to buy a split system with a fairly effective air purification system from tobacco smoke
Purity ions
In the air of any modern urban apartment there is a constant shortage of negative ions, which leads to the general weakening of our immunity and provokes the development of a number of diseases. The saturation of the space against negatively charged ions removes the voltage, increases the intellectual abilities of a person. Therefore, a very useful addition to the filters of coarse and fine air purification, which is available in the air conditioner, are ionizers of various designs and filtering systems created on their basis. It is enough to press the button on the remote or simply turn on the device and indoors will be felt freshness, as if in a coniferous forest or from a waterfall.Choosing a split system with a ionizer, remember that the number of negatively charged ions generated in the room should not be greater than the values recommended by SanPine 2.2.4.1294-03 (0.6-50 thousand pcs / cm3). It is advisable to clarify this parameter in the split-system passport (in the overwhelming majority it does not exceed the standards).
Most of the models of the air-conditioned ionizers are able to produce negatively charged ions resulting from the "capture" of the electron of the oxygen molecule.
The original ionizer is equipped with new SRK series air conditioners (Mitsubishi Heavy). The design of the design is provided by a tourmaline plate, which round clock generates negatively charged ions entering directly into the room. Even when the split system is turned off, the concentration of ions is maintained at 2.5-3 thousand pcs. / Cm3. ABO Air conditioning time The efficiency of the ionization process increases sharply. At the same time, no additional energy costs are required. Negatively charged ions are transmitted by dust particles and other contaminants in the air, their "minus" charge, resulting in those settling on the floor and other positively charged surfaces. Thus, the ions purify the air in the rooms from ordinary and fine dust, reduce the number of microbes, eliminate allergens (pollen of plants, viruses, novels of fungi IDR), remove tobacco smoke and extraneous smells, reduce lead concentration in the air.
A similar refreshing and cleansing effect allows you to achieve and split systems with an internal block equipped with a needle ionizer. Such devices are today many firms: Kentatsu, Sanyo, Toshiba, Daikin (all-Japan), Electra (Israel), Haier (China), Samsung (Korea) IDR.
More comfortable in use ion air cleaning system "Sensor Patrol" is applied in Deluxe air conditioners (Panasonic). The air conditioner itself discovers air pollution using a special sensor responding to an increase in concentration in the air of methane and CO2. As soon as the contamination is detected, regardless of whether the air conditioner works or turned off, the ionizer is activated, and the dust particles in the air are acquired negative charge, and bacteria and viruses are inactivated. Then this "garbage" is delayed on a full-size mesh filter, which, with the help of electrical conductors, a positive charge is reported. On the floor and the walls, the dirt almost does not settle. The filter, according to the manufacturers, catches the particles with a diameter of up to 0.1 μm and the molecules of fragile substances up to 0.001 μm.
The technology of ionic air purification, with the help of which allergens portable by air are particularly effectively inactivated, in particular, dead bodies and fecal secretions of home dust ticks, as well as viruses and spores of mold, received the name Plasmacluster. It is used in AY-XP12 / 9GHR models and other modern SHARP split systems (Japan). The essence of it is as follows. Ionic plasmacluster generators generate and throw away low-temperature plasma. Formed at the same time, positive (H +) and negative (O2-) ions are recombined in air so that when two H + ions collide and one O2, high-active hydroxyl radicals are formed. They are not stable. To stabilize, the radicals capture one hydrogen ion (H +) from the shells portable by the air of organic contaminants, forming water steam (H2O). As a result, both inactivation and the death of microorganisms and pollution with the formation of harmless compounds occur. The devices allow you to achieve in the air of ion balance, almost completely identical natural (in natural conditions, for example, in the forest, in the air is also contained positive, and negative ions).
Cleansing plasma
The property of positive and negatively charged objects is attracted to each other used in active electrostatic filters. They very effectively eliminate from room air tobacco smoke, dust idr. At the entrance to the cassette of such a filter, the air flow is ionized, as a result of which dust and microparticles of pollution acquire a charge-depending on the design of the filter is positive or negative. Next, the purified air flow passes through the dust collectors placed inside the filter, which is reported to the charge of the opposite polarity. For example, in the third generation of air conditioners of the Daiseikai family (SKVP-ND, TOSHIBA model), a plasma filter is applied with dust-pulling dust surfaces containing silver ions. The cleaning system complies with the standard for domestic air cleaners JEM 1467 (tested by the Japanese Association of Electronics Manufacturers). Active electrostatic filters are also installed in MSZ-FA air conditioners (Mitsubishi Electric, Double Plasma system), Ururu Sarara (Daikin), Hummer Plasma and Prime (Gree, Hong Kong), S LHP (LG, Korea, NEO-Plasma Plus technology) , WNG (Electra) IDR.

Of course, the capabilities of the Split system for air purification are not limitless, especially in large rooms. With high quality quality, the split system is effectively used in a pair with a specialized air cleaner
Justice of self-physigen
The owners of the Split-Systems of the last generation probably noticed that if you do not hold regular sanitation of the indoor unit, then when the device is turned on in the room, an unpleasant smell can be felt. The reason for this-reproduction of bacteria or the appearance of mold in the pallet for collecting condensate and on all contacting surfaces with air flow, including filters. Today, air conditioners manufacturers pay very much attention to improving the dumping devices so that the user is easier to clean them.
For example, to combat bacteria in the inner blocks of such air conditioners, like Hitachi, Haier, Kentatsu, Sanyo, set 1-4 pulse lamps that emit a wave 240-280 nm. During the operation of the split system, the light of UV lamps destroys various microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, as well as disputes of molds located in a stream passing through air conditioner. This significantly reduces the likelihood of the spread of diseases transmitted by air-droplet. The air conditioner shutdown with the remote control can be activated the disinfection mode and deodoration of the internal space of the low-density ozone device, which is produced during the operation of the lamp. Thanks to this, mold fungi and other microorganisms are not multiplied in the air conditioner, which prevents the appearance of unpleasant odors and bacteria.
Air conditioners Daiseikai (Toshiba) are self-cleaning due to the use of a plasma filter that produces low density ozone and disinfectant internal unit of the air conditioner. Many manufacturers, such as SAMSUNG, GREE IDR., Apply a protective bactericidal coating of the inner block parts in contact with air flow. In the inner blocks of the RAS-JH1 split systems (Hitachi), a fan has an antibacterial properties due to the special components in the material from which it is manufactured. In addition, self-cleaning feature is provided, which allows you to completely dry the heat exchange surface of the air conditioner's evaporator after use. The 20-minute self-slip feature is also from GKP, NKP and SKHP air conditioners (Toshiba).
