Should You Pour Water on Your Air Conditioner’s Outdoor Unit?
During hot summer days when the temperature is above 40 degrees Celsius, many people share a method of turning off the air conditioner for a while, then pouring water on the outdoor unit and turning it back on. They believe that this will make the air conditioner emit colder air.
This method is not good for your air conditioner and should not be done. When the outdoor temperature is high, the outdoor unit becomes much hotter than normal. Pouring water directly on it can cause electric shocks and malfunctions in the cooling fan’s electrical system. Moreover, after pouring water and turning the air conditioner back on, it will run at high speed and power, which is ineffective.
The Most Effective Way to Cool Down Your Air Conditioner’s Outdoor Unit
Install misting pipes directly on the outdoor unit
In places like shopping centers and industrial zones, it is difficult to create a well-ventilated and spacious environment to install the outdoor unit. The solution is to create artificial environments that can effectively cool down the outdoor unit. Thus, installing a misting system to cool down the outdoor unit is recommended.
Using a misting system gradually lowers the temperature of the surrounding environment, which prevents thermal damage to the device. This method may have a slower effect, but it is definitely successful and safe. The misting system should be installed above the outdoor unit, making sure that the water pipes do not touch the surface of the unit to ensure their durability.
Clean the outdoor unit regularly
Many people mistakenly think that inverter air conditioners operate quietly, have high performance, and withstand time well, so they require less maintenance. This is a misconception. Almost all electronic devices have their recommended maintenance time, especially when using an air conditioner during hot summer days. Regular cleaning is crucial for the air conditioner to function properly.
After a period of use, dirt will accumulate and stick to the outdoor unit’s heat dissipation fins, reducing the heat exchange area between the outdoor unit and the environment.
Just like dust sticking to engine oil and compressors, they increase friction and heat in the outdoor unit. If the hot air cannot escape, it will increase the temperature inside the unit, eventually damaging the solder joints or wiring.
Therefore, if the outdoor unit is too dirty, it will affect the heat dissipation process, reducing the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. The solution to effectively cool down the outdoor unit at this time is to clean it regularly.
