There is severe heat across the country. In many cities, the temperature has crossed 50 degrees. In such a situation, most people are installing ACs in their homes. People are trying to reduce the temperature of their homes with the help of AC. But with the increase in heat, the incidents of blast in AC are also increasing continuously. Today we will tell you why the incidents of blast in AC are increasing continuously.
Explosion in AC
Almost every day you must be hearing in the news that incidents are increasing due to explosion in the compressor of AC in different cities. Many times there is a huge loss of life and property in these incidents. But the question is whether such incidents are happening due to severe heat.
Why is AC catching fire?
• One of the major reasons behind the fire in AC is overheating. To avoid the heat, some people are running AC for several hours continuously. Due to which the incidents of fire or explosion in the compressor increase.
• Apart from this, many people do not get the AC serviced on time while using it continuously. Due to lack of timely service, dirt can accumulate, which increases the pressure on the compressor and it can fail.
• The biggest reason for blast in AC is the leakage of refrigerant gas in the compressor. In such a situation, a blast can happen very quickly.
• The voltage of the house going up and down repeatedly also affects the performance of the compressor. This increases the chances of blast many times.
• Apart from this, the cooling fan not working properly for the compressor can also cause overheating and blast.
Method to prevent these incidents
• Regular service and maintenance should be done while using AC. Service should be done by the service center once in every 6 months. In case of any problem, contact the company immediately and lodge a complaint. During this time, the AC should also not be used.
• Voltage stabilizer should be used to use the AC. So that the compressor does not get damaged due to voltage fluctuations.
• Apart from this, refrigerant gas leakage should be checked at the time of service. So that if there is any kind of leakage, it can be fixed immediately.
• At the same time, air filters and cooling coils should be cleaned regularly. This will not put extra pressure on the compressor and it will work properly.
