There can be a variety of reasons for an aircon with a small airflow, and below I will explain some of the common ones.
First of all, the air volume of the air conditioner may be reduced due to the design or failure of the air conditioner itself. An air conditioner is a system consisting of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, which cools or heats through the circulation of refrigerant between the inside and outside units. The indoor unit blows cold (hot) air into the room through the fan blades, and if the fan blades are exposed to the accumulation of dust, dirt, mold, etc., the air volume may be reduced. In addition, the failure of the fan or motor of the indoor unit of the air conditioner will also cause the air volume to decrease.
Secondly, the air volume of an air conditioner may be affected by environmental factors. For example, blockages around the indoor unit of an air conditioner, such as furniture, curtains, or other objects, can obstruct the proper circulation of air, resulting in a reduced air volume. In addition, the placement of the outdoor unit will also affect the air volume of the air conditioner. If the outdoor unit is placed in a confined space, or is obscured by a fence or obstruction, it will cause poor air circulation, which in turn will affect the air volume.
Thirdly, the blockage of the air conditioner filter is also one of the common causes of reduced air volume. The function of the air conditioner filter is to stop dust, dirt, bacteria, etc. from entering the air conditioning system and keep the air clean. However, if the filter is not cleaned or replaced for a long time, dust and dirt will gradually accumulate on the filter, causing the filter to clog and hinder the normal circulation of air, thus reducing the air volume of the air conditioner.
In addition, air leaks in the air conditioning system ducts can also cause air volume to decrease. The air conditioning system carries the refrigerant in its ducts and is responsible for delivering the cooling (heat) effect to the individual rooms. If there is an air leak in the pipes, the refrigerant is lost or the pressure drops, which may affect the cooling (heat) effect of the air conditioner, which in turn will lead to a decrease in air volume.
In addition, air conditioners that are too old or not suitable for the size of the room can also lead to a decrease in air volume. Older air conditioning systems may have some damage or degraded performance, such as aging fans, motors, or refrigerant leaks, which can lead to reduced airflow. However, if the installed air conditioner does not match the size of the room, it may not be able to meet the cooling or heating needs of the room, which in turn will affect the air volume.
In summary, the decrease in air volume of the air conditioner may be caused by the design or failure of the air conditioner itself, environmental factors, clogged filters, leaking pipes, and the old or unsuitable room size of the air conditioner. Through regular maintenance, cleaning and repair, we can solve most of the problems of reducing air volume, so as to ensure the normal operation of the air conditioner and improve the comfort.
