Why does the central air conditioner drip in winter?

This is a normal phenomenon.

After the air conditioner is turned on, it will absorb a lot of water through heat exchange. When the water drops from the evaporator are collected in the drain tank, they will pass through a water distribution plate, and a large amount of water will make the sound of dripping and running water in the process of flowing into the drain tank, which is a normal phenomenon.

When the air conditioner is heating, the gas Freon is pressurized by the compressor to become high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which enters the heat exchanger (condenser at this time) of the indoor unit, condenses, liquefies and releases heat to become liquid, and at the same time heats the indoor air, thus achieving the purpose of increasing the indoor temperature.

The liquid freon is decompressed by the throttling device, enters the heat exchanger (evaporator at this time) of the outdoor unit, evaporates, absorbs heat by vaporization, becomes gas, and absorbs the heat of outdoor air (outdoor air becomes cold). Freon, which turns into gas, enters the compressor again and starts the next cycle.

Matters needing attention in using air conditioning in winter

1, set the air conditioning temperature reasonably to avoid excessive temperature difference between indoor and outdoor.

2, combined with humidification equipment to improve indoor humidity.

3. Clean air conditioning components to ensure air quality.

4. Pay attention to purification function? Improve health quality

5. When you feel that the air conditioner is not ideal, you should consult the instruction manual, analyze whether it is caused by improper use, and correct it after finding out the reason.

6. If you can't handle the fault by yourself after finding it, you can find a professional maintenance mechanic in the original installation department to solve it, or contact the local service personnel of the brand company. You can't fix it yourself or find a non-professional to fix it.

7. Please unplug the air conditioner when you are not using it.
