1, the most suitable air conditioning 26 °C
Although the body has a certain body temperature regulation capacity, but this ability is limited, indoor and outdoor temperature difference is too easy to get sick. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too large, generally around 8 °C to 10 °C. Summer hot weather is generally at 35 °C Left and right, so the indoor temperature around 26 °C is the most appropriate, not easy to get sick. At the same time the temperature is not too low, then the air conditioning is also more energy-efficient.
2, best installed at 1.7 meters
The air intake of a general air conditioner is in the upper half, and the air outlet is in the lower half. If the air conditioner is installed too high, the cold air that has undergone heat exchange has not yet sinked to the lower part of the room and is sucked back by the air conditioner. If the air conditioner is installed too low, Although it will be cool soon after turning on the air conditioner, people will suffer from back pain.
3, Sauna day dehumidification function
In the summer, turning the air-conditioning mode from 'cooling' to 'dehumidifying' not only makes the house as cool as a refrigerator, but also costs less, and minimizes damage to the human body. When the 'dehumidification' mode is turned on, the indoor hair dryer is turned on. It will keep running at a low speed, and the compressor will also operate intermittently, so that it will continue to circulate to keep the room temperature near the set temperature. When the 'cooling' mode is working, the air-conditioning compressor and blower will continue to operate until the room temperature reaches a low temperature. It will shut down, so it consumes more power.
4, open 3 hours to open the window
Many people do not realize that indoor air may not be fresh after three hours of indoor ventilation; air will not be changed within six hours, air will be heavily polluted, and the degree of pollution may endanger health. If you feel pressure to breathe or catch more cold, Drowsiness, sluggish response, etc., are all related to being in the closed space for too long, and the oxygen supply is insufficient. Therefore, the air conditioner must be opened for ventilation within 3 hours.
5, when cooling, tuyere up
Many people are not good at using the wind direction when they turn on air conditioners. Generally speaking, cold air goes down, but hot air does not. When cooling, it is best to turn the air-conditioner upwards and allow the cold air to circulate from top to bottom. At that time, the air-conditioning direction is downwards, and the physical characteristics of the hot and cold air can be fully utilized to naturally communicate.
When the air conditioner is started, it can use the high wind speed to speed up the process of heat exchange between the room air and the air conditioner. The room temperature can quickly approach the set temperature. When you feel comfortable, you can set the wind speed to a low wind speed, not only cooling quickly, You can also reduce the noise and make the room more 'cool'.
6, air-conditioned house basin
If you stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time, the cold air will cause tears to evaporate too quickly and the tears will decrease. At the same time, it will also take away moisture from the skin and respiratory tract, making the skin dry and the lice drying and itching. At this time, you can place the air conditioning in the air outlet. Water, can effectively alleviate the dry eye, dry skin symptoms. Even if the air conditioning to sleep, the next day will not appear dry mouth phenomenon.
7, sleeping in the air-conditioned room
Under normal circumstances, people breathe in exhaled air through the nasal passages, and when they sleep at night, they breathe in their mouths. Not only do the dust in the air easily inhale into the respiratory tract, but also the air flows back and forth between the mouths and mouths. When they wake up, the population will be dry and dry. Therefore, sleep at night. At this time, you may change to sleeping on your side, avoid breathing, and cause excessive fluid in the upper respiratory tract.
8, first open the air conditioning, close the window
Another important technique for using air conditioners is to first turn on the air conditioners after entering the house and close the windows afterwards. Turn on the air conditioner, and then close the doors and windows after the contaminants in the air conditioner are released. This will prevent many respiratory diseases such as asthma.
9, short-term out of the air conditioning
Many people save electricity, turn off the air conditioner when they go out, and restart when they go home. This not only consumes more electricity, but also causes damage to air conditioners and affects the air conditioning life. Excessive frequency of operation will cause damage to the air conditioning compressor. The 500-1000 watts generated by the high voltage will consume more power. Therefore, if you go out for a short time, it is best not to turn off the air conditioner. For example, within 1 hour, the air conditioner will save more power.
10, After entering the house, don't worry about starting air conditioning
Many people rush to turn on the air conditioner as soon as they enter the house. On hot days, the blood vessels on the outside are expanding. When you enter the house, you turn on the air conditioner. When the temperature drops suddenly, the diastolic blood vessels suddenly turn into a contraction state, causing the blood pressure to suddenly rise. Causes cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
