Window type of air conditioner is a monoblock. In this case, it is much easier to make its installation, unlike other split systems that suggest testing the tightness of the pipeline, the gasket of the freon route, etc. In addition, the installation of the Oblona discards the need for high-rise works. However, for the quality of the air conditioner, when installing, the sequence of actions should be carefully observed.

Recommendations:
- the installation process of this type of equipment will be difficult if the room has double-glazed windows or stained glass windows in aluminum and PVC frames;
- there should be no cracks between the opening and air conditioning;
- installing window air conditioners need to be perfectly smoothly so that the condensate does not glare on the floor;
- in the process of acquiring and selecting the air conditioner, you need to make sure that its width is less than the width of the window;
- if you are using the technique of not even very high power, maintain a separate electrical wiring for it and create a separate machine in the dispenser panel.
The rules that should be adhere to when installing this technique:
- the bottom of the window conditioner must be placed at a height of 750-1500 mm from the floor;
- the outer edge is located below internal by 10-20 mm;
- by installing air conditioning, you should position it with a slight bias outward;
- side ventilation holes need to be left open;
- the interval from the outer panel to the nearest obstacle should be from 500 mm, otherwise the air circulation and the performance of the technique will be difficult;
- the outer side of the equipment must be mounted so that it performs outside of 250-300 mm;
- exclude direct sunlight air conditioning;
- the technique is necessary to firmly fix that noise increases when it is functioning.
Tools that may need:
- paint brush;
- water-emulsion paint;
- Furniture corners (flat and internal);
- building level;
- opaque white silicone sealant;
- Perforator;
- Hoven for metal;
- Bulgarian;
- chisel;
- roller glass cutting;
- Replacement cartridges for drills;
- ELEKOLOGZYK;
- Wooden hacksaw.
Installing window conditioner
Choosing a place for the window air conditioner, be sure to take into account the location of the furniture, the shape of the room and other factors, and also follow the following principles:
1. First, it is necessary to look good for the wall and the window frame to make sure their strength. Modern building materials, type of wall decoration and frames may require the use of a variety of techniques for fastening: Corners, fastener brackets, anchor bolts, etc.
If the wall of the room is not sufficiently strong and crumbs, and the window opening is continuing, then they should be strengthened:
- Strengthen the lower edge of the window opening can be made of metal;
- To enhance the wall expand the metal support to reduce the load on it.
2. Create condensate removal:
- The back of the equipment slightly tilt down (by 5-10 mm);
- The right and left side of the device should be placed on the same level.
Recommendations:
- mount the equipment in the center to enable the cooled air normally circulate;
- the air flowing is rather hot, so it should not blow on people, plants or animals;
- around the air conditioner should not create obstacles to the output and input of air, otherwise its performance will significantly decrease;
- for maintenance, leave approximately 100 mm of free space on the left, on the right and on top of the equipment;
- if direct sunlight falls on the technique, protect it with a canopy that will not prevent air circulation.
How to install window conditioner
Installing the window conditioner with your own hands:
1. Preparation of window opening
In the opening windows of any type you can always find the best plot for installing the air conditioner:
- Remove the glass;
- Insert the "jumper"
- Cut the glass on the desired size.
If the equipment is mounted in the wall:
- Try holes in the wall;
- Make on it marking for fixing technology;
- draw the corresponding air conditioner lines;
- With the help of drills, drill inward the loop circuit at a distance of 500 mm from the lines;
- Install the bracket and air conditioner case.
Recommendations:
- if the technique is installed in the opening of the window having a distance between the frames of more than 25 cm, the operation of the air conditioner is possible only if there is an external framework in the outer frame;
- if the equipment is mounted in the wall, then its thickness should not be greater than 0.25 m.
2. Today, the air conditioners model presented in the market allow you to create their installation even in the absence of access to the outside and non-opening windows. This is done due to the fact that the entire mechanism is removed from the housing, and it is fixed to the wall or bracket. To ensure normal water drain, the rear case part must be slightly tilted downward, and the right and left should be placed at one level. The plots of the connection must be sealed. If the walls in the room are not very durable, then the bracket of the air conditioner can be opened on the floor.
3. Collect air conditioning into the case. If during transportation to protect the fan and the compressor, gaskets for depreciation were used, they must be eliminated. After mounting the equipment in the case, make sure that its back is slightly tilted down. For 12, 9 and 7 models, the slope must be 0.65 cm, and for 24 and 18 - 1 cm.
The resulting clearances between the air conditioner, the wall and the body must be sealed with a sealant and foam rubber. Then you can paint the damaged areas.
4. Installation of drainage hose
Since when operating the air conditioner, the air indoors is cooled, the moisture begins to condense. Therefore, if you do not connect this equipment, water will start driving out of the drain hole outward. In the event that the drainage hose bends, check the absence of air traffic jam. Do not allow the tube contact with the surface of the Earth and the water level in the container.
5. Power supply of window conditioner type:
- this technique must be grounded, while terminals and wire must be firmly fixed;
- all electrical wiring equipment must comply with GOST, assembly instructions and safety standards;
- to power the air conditioner, you should create a separate line with a module independent of the base fuse;
- voltage supply of the equipment should be from 90% -110%;
- the capacitive current of the switch 1.5 times must exceed the maximum consumed current of the equipment itself.
Upon completion of the installation, carefully check your work and only, then turn on the air conditioner. If you do not have the opportunity to solve any problem, please contact specialists.
