With the onset of summer air conditioning begin to literally “save” people from the heat. But there is a perception that they can be harmful to health. Let’s find out whether this is so . After all, everything that is related to health, must be approached very seriously .
If you stay in a room with air conditioning , it is easy to catch a cold
This statement is partially incorrect . This fear makes sense, but a lot depends on the correct choice of space for the air conditioner and its mode of operation. If a person will be directly under running cold air conditioner , then the probability that he is sick , will be great . But the same thing can happen if people would just sit in a draft from an open window. Thanks to modern split- systems can not only adjust the air flow direction ( with damper ), but also dissipate the air evenly , making thus fluctuating up and down (automatic ) .
There are likely to catch a cold , and when a person is constantly moving between rooms, in which different temperature . But the effect is the same , if often during the heat of the street and go to a cool room. So you should take into account the recommendations of professionals advising install the air conditioner temperature control on the mark, which is different from the thermometer at 4-5 degrees. This will reduce to zero the risk of disease from the temperature difference .
Direct source of infection , ” Legionnaires’ disease ” are exactly conditioners
Publications of this kind are often found on the Internet. These materials contain information that can throw a real shock users of HVAC equipment . But, if things really are?
For Legionella freshwater – the natural habitat . But because of the high adaptive capacity of these microorganisms , they can successfully ” settle down ” and in the bathroom, shower installation, decorative fountains , equipment for respiratory therapy , swimming pool , compressor unit , air cooling systems , where they are absolutely not the place. When exhaling dust or water spray in which the agent is present , there is an infection .
Note that hotbed of Legionella air conditioner can be only when it comes to extensive centralized air conditioning system. Accumulates in these systems, heated condensate can create the ideal conditions for the growth of these ” pests “. But the simple office or home split systems entirely different principle. Of these, the condensate is removed at once ( but not dripping on passers ) , and the temperature of the water in these units is too low , so the microorganisms can not be got in it .
So what happens? Not all the air conditioners can be a source of ” Legionnaires’ disease “. As much as it may sound paradoxical , but the air conditioning and ventilation hospitals and hotels are mainly in the area of risk. Simple split system is not as dangerous as , for example , procedural or bathrooms SPA- salons.
Air-conditioner filters harmful because ” catch ” from the air negatively charged particles – ” Aeron ” , useful for human
It is often said that the manipulation of the air conditioner filter held lead to the fact that the air is cleaned , but it becomes dead . Any person who is familiar with the device of HVAC equipment , it is absolutely clear that such claims do not stand up to scrutiny and meaningless. Like the vast majority of today’s split-systems , all window air conditioners have only one filter , which is a fine mesh designed to protect the indoor unit from dust , poplar fluff and other debris .
Why not save on the air conditioner ?
Such a filter is clearly unable to detain the individual atoms . Therefore Aeron like mosquitoes , flies through the net on the volleyball court , pass through the filter . Moreover, many manufacturers prefer to install air conditioners in their filters are physically unable to catch negative particles , because they have an electrostatic charge is negative.
Air Conditioners – hawkers pathogenic viruses throughout the building during epidemics
It turns out that air conditioning makes sure that each one is provided with a personal microbe ? Perhaps such allegations were true 20 years ago, when most institutions operated air conditioning to the mixing chamber and the air handling units . Today, when they were replaced by heat exchangers, heat exchangers , air flows do not have direct contact. On the other hand , is removed from the room air saturated by microbes, which replaced cleaned and fresh.
Inflict injury if the air conditioner ? It’s up to you. Nobody has harmed a healthy skepticism . Each indictment statement about air conditioners should not be taken at face value. After all, as mentioned earlier, you can catch a cold and sitting in a draft . Therefore , if you follow the rules of operation of the air conditioner , no harm to the body will not be applied .
