Inadequate maintenance can result in energy consumption increasing
by as much as 60%. Regular maintenance checks help to ensure efficient
operation of an air conditioning system:-
Check condensers. These reject heat that
has been removed from inside a building and are usually located outside.
Condensers must be unobstructed and condensing and evaporating
devices must always be kept clean and well maintained.
Refrigerant charge and leakage should
be regularly checked in air conditioning and comfort cooling plant.
Check insulation on pipework and replace any damaged
sections. Damaged insulation on refrigerant pipework will affect
the temperature of refrigerant flowing through an air conditioning system
and thus consume more energy in maintaining the required temperature.
Clean fans, filters and air ducts. Blocked
filters lead to reduced airflow and increased operating costs. Gauges
can be fitted to indicate when filters should be replaced. Contaminated
components can reduce the efficiency of an air conditioning system by
up to 60%.
Ensure thermostats are calibrated annually
to ensure they accurately reflect to actual temperatures.
