It is important to invest in air conditioners, especially quality installation materials and regular maintenance by professional maintenance personnel.

The following four materials are what you should pay attention to when you newly install an air conditioning system to maintain air conditioning performance and longevity.

Copper pipes are one of the core materials used in air conditioning systems. They are an integral part of air conditioning systems because refrigerant needs to flow through pipes to produce cool air. Improperly installed or poor-quality copper pipes can leak, reducing cooling efficiency and is a common reason why an air conditioner doesn't work fully. Then, the air your appliances are producing may be warmer, and you'll also find yourself spending more on your electricity bill because your air conditioner will end up working harder to produce cooler air.

Improperly installed copper pipes can be very costly to rectify. Gas leaks require pressure testing to isolate the problem area, and the final solution often involves redoing the entire plumbing or replacing the entire system.

Therefore, when using copper pipes, pay attention to their thickness and quality. It should provide maximum protection against the formation of harmful oxides that normally form during brazing operations. 

The quality and thickness of the DSP seamless copper tubes provided by Daikin are TUV tested to ensure superior performance, strength, precision, cleanliness, and longevity.

 

Insulation is required to prevent the cold refrigerant flowing through the copper tubes from absorbing heat from the environment. Standard air conditioning insulators consist of a series of connected thick black foam that acts as a protective layer for copper pipes. This foam acts like a large sponge and absorbs any condensation on the copper pipes.

In addition to protecting these copper pipes, the insulation reduces the risk of water leaks and drips from the air conditioning unit. It helps ensure the proper performance of the air conditioner while reducing energy waste. It has an additional safety purpose - if a fire breaks out, it dampens the rate at which it spreads, reducing the potential for serious damage.

Good insulation effectively reduces heat and energy loss, helping to improve energy efficiency, while poor quality insulation can lead to condensation, which can lead to material degradation and tearing. Also, check that the insulation provides antimicrobial protection to stop unwanted mold and bacteria growth, which will help prolong the life of the insulation.

 

Condensate pumps pump water accumulated in air conditioning pipes from a central point to a remote location, eliminating water, steam and condensate that may accumulate in air conditioning pipes.

A good condensate pump will improve your indoor air quality and overall efficiency, and reduce electricity usage.

When researching a condensate pump, look for one that also has antimicrobial properties, is non-flammable, and is water-based. It should also have a hydrophobic coating to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt within the air conditioning system. Also, ideally, you'll want a product that's quiet and doesn't make too much noise.

 

If you own a large property, your air conditioner may require longer plumbing connections. The pipeline connection should be copper-free, fireproof, and tightly sealed to prevent refrigerant leakage and condensation.

Also, depending on where the pipes need to go, there may be areas where contractors have to work in tight spaces, so any connectors and fittings should also be easy to install in confined areas.

If you're looking to install a new air conditioner, be sure to check against the above to ensure you're getting the highest quality materials, which will save you money and make your air conditioning system more efficient in the long run.
