Almost gone! Will upgrade the air condo. Don't just watch BTU...Otherwise, a long story. ❄️⚠️
The thing is, I want to change the air conditioner at the new condo. The original is 12,000 BTU, but I want the room to cool faster, so I organized 18,000 BTU. Come on. I thought I'd come to install it for a while, and it's over at home...But when the mechanic arrived, he had to brake his head!
Because the air condo is not like the air house with areas that may be easier to change.
The big problems encountered are:
1. Compressor size is not the same: As the BTU gets taller, the hot coil body gets bigger as it appears that it cannot be placed on the original hanging leg. It must be dismantled.
2. The pipe work is a big deal: the original air pipe (12,000 BTU) and the new thing (18,000 BTU) are different sizes! And the point is that the pipe in the condo is hidden behind the frost and all the walls. If you change it, you have to conduit across the frost. There may be a drill. There is a frosted repair.
Fortunately, I had another house, so I decided to move this air conditioner there instead and make a new appointment, or it would be a mess.
💡 Lessons learned today:
- AIR 12,000 and 15,000 BTU mainly use similar pipe size and compressor (a little easy to replace)
- Air 18,000 and 21,000 BTU will move up another step. It requires a larger tube.
- If you use a small air conditioner in a large room, the air conditioner will work hard and break down quickly.
A simple BTU calculation formula:
Room area (Sq) x Heat variable (700 - 1,000)
Bedroom x 700 - 800
Office / Guest Rooms x 800 - 1,000
Like my room, 15 square meters x 800 - 1,000 is 12,000 - 15,000 BTU...
Thank you to the air technician and Xiaomi Thailand for your advice and coordination. Who will change the air condo, check the page well before you order!
The plan to change the air condo today became to change the air conditioner at home instead... 😅
