Common Mistakes in Cooling Systems and Their Correct Ways
Entrance
Cooling systems are used in many areas of daily life. However, some common mistakes, from installation to use, not only reduce system performance but can also lead to energy waste, malfunctions, and even safety risks.
In this article, we explain the most common cooling system errors and how to avoid them.
1. Wrong Refrigerant Use
🚫 Error: Use of gases that are not supported by the device or mixed gases
✅ Correct: Only use gas recommended by the manufacturer. If a gas change is necessary, the system must be completely drained and cleaned.
2. Insufficient or Overfilling Gas Level
🚫 Mistake: Overfilling with the logic of “the more gas, the better”
✅ Correct: Gas must be filled according to the device's needs and at the correct pressure. Excessive or insufficient gas will reduce performance.
3. Neglecting Regular Maintenance
🚫 Error: The device should only be taken to service when it malfunctions.
✅ Correct: Technical maintenance should be done at least once a year; filters, gas levels and fan motors should be checked.
4. Incorrect Installation and Outdoor Unit Positioning
🚫 Error: Installing the outdoor unit in a sunny place with no air flow
✅ Correct: The outdoor unit should be in a shaded and well-ventilated area. Air circulation should not be obstructed.
5. Mixing Different Gases
🚫 Error: Creating a mixture by adding different types of gases to the system
✅ Correct: This is dangerous for the system. Gases should not be mixed; only gas of the appropriate type and purity should be used.
6. Not Cleaning Filters and Pipes
🚫 Error: Air filters and indoor/outdoor unit pipes are blocked with dust
✅ The truth: Cleaning is very important for both the efficiency and hygiene of the system.
7. Intervention by Unauthorized Persons
🚫 Error: People without technical knowledge perform filling and repair operations.
✅ Correct: Gas filling, leak detection and electrical parts checks should only be done by an authorized technician.
Conclusion
Small mistakes in cooling systems can lead to significant costs and risks. Therefore, professional action at every stage, from installation to maintenance, extends the life of the device and ensures maximum efficiency.
