In the cold winter, heating has become an indispensable part of life in order to move more comfortably at home. As a southerner, air conditioning is a necessary equipment for heating, but problems such as dryness, odor, and lack of ventilation also follow. So, how to turn on the air conditioner in winter to get a more comfortable experience?
1. The higher the temperature, the better, around 20 is the most suitable.
The temperature range that the human body feels comfortable with is between 20-26 degrees, and this range is called the "right zone". When the temperature is too high or too low, the human body will feel uncomfortable. In winter, we need to set the indoor temperature in the appropriate zone, i.e. between 20-26 degrees.
In addition, the power consumption of the air conditioner is directly proportional to the temperature, and the higher the temperature, the greater the power consumption of the air conditioner. In winter, when the air temperature is lower, the power consumption of the air conditioner will increase considerably. Setting the indoor temperature at around 20 degrees Celsius can effectively save energy. Therefore, it is generally recommended to control the temperature at 20 degrees Celsius, so that the electricity is saved, the money is saved, and the service life of the unit will be longer.
2. Maintain indoor humidity and feel more comfortable.
In winter, the humidity setting point of the air conditioner should be lower than the outdoor humidity to prevent the indoor humidity from getting too high. In general, the indoor humidity should be 10-15% lower than the outdoor humidity to keep the indoor humidity constant. If the outdoor humidity is low, the humidity of the air conditioner can be appropriately lowered to avoid excessive indoor humidityOn the contrary, if the outdoor humidity is high, you can appropriately increase the humidity of the air conditioner to avoid the indoor humidity being too low.
3. The higher the air speed of the air conditioner, the better, and the appropriate wind speed is also very important.
In winter, the air conditioner should have a low wind speed setpoint to keep the indoor temperature constant. In general, indoor wind speed should be 10-15% lower than outdoor wind speed to keep the indoor temperature constant. Excessive wind speed may cause a rapid rise in indoor temperature, but it can also increase the consumption of electrical energy. Although too low wind speed can keep the indoor temperature stable, it may lead to poor air circulation, resulting in dust accumulation in the air conditioner, which will affect the service life of the air conditioner. Therefore, choosing the appropriate wind speed can not only make the indoor temperature rise quickly, but also save electricity.
4. Close the return air to ensure that the indoor fresh air is introduced.
*The principle of the air conditioning return air system is to send the indoor air inhaled by the indoor unit of the air conditioner back to the indoor system. When the air conditioner is running, the indoor air will be continuously circulated and sucked into the indoor unit, and then sent back to the room again through treatment such as filtration and cooling. This makes the air fresher and more comfortable, while also saving energy.
However, turning on the air conditioning return air system for a long time can also cause some problems. First of all, the air conditioning return air system will keep the indoor air circulating, which will lead to the accumulation of some harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses, and dust mites in the room, increasing the risk of air pollution. Secondly, the indoor humidity of the air conditioning return air system will continue to rise, which is easy to breed microorganisms such as silkworm fungi and mites, which will affect health. In order to keep the indoor air clean and healthy, it is recommended to properly turn off the air conditioning return system when using the air conditioner to make the indoor air fresher.
