How to save AC from blast: The scorching heat across the country has made life difficult for people. In this scorching heat, people have the support of ACs, coolers and fans. Recently, there have been reports of blasts in ACs due to the heat.
Although AC is becoming a necessity in the house. But many people are careless, due to which the risk of explosion in AC increases. In such a situation, we are going to tell you which mistakes of yours can cause AC to explode and at what temperature you should set it.
What are the reasons behind AC bursting
Condenser Gas Leakage: Experts say that AC related accidents can be seen due to gas leakage from the condenser. Whenever the gas level reduces, there is more pressure on the condenser. Due to this, it starts heating up more. As soon as it heats up, the chances of fire also increase. Apart from this, dirty coils also become the reason behind heating the condenser. This causes problems in the normal flow of gas.
Poor maintenance: If the AC is not being maintained properly, then there can be an incident of AC blast. People who use AC a lot in summer but do not get it serviced on time, then it has a bad effect on the AC. If the AC is not serviced for a long time, then the dirt starts accumulating there. This will put pressure on the filter and the load on the compressor will increase a lot. Due to pressure on the compressor, the risk of explosion also increases.
At what temperature should you run the AC
You should set the temperature of the AC very carefully because it has a direct impact on the performance of the AC. Sometimes due to excessive cooling, we reduce the temperature, which increases the pressure on the compressor. You may get more cooling from this, but the risk will always be with you. When the pressure on the compressor increases, more heat will also come out from the outdoors. According to the Ministry of Energy, you should not run the AC below 24 degrees Celsius.
Running the AC for a long time also proves to be very dangerous. By running it for a long time, its load increases and its parts become very hot, which increases the risk of explosion in the AC. In such a situation, it is important to run the AC in a normal way and turn it off when not needed.
