Causes and solutions of dripping water in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner

First, the reason for the dripping of water in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner First of all, refrigeration and heating are treated differently.

If it is refrigeration, then the water comes out of the inner machine along the water pipe. Lengthen the water pipes and connect them to the drainage system. If it is heated, then the water is the frosted water of the outer unit, and the bottom shell of the external unit will have a circular gap.

Some models come with adapters. Connect the adapters, attach the water pipes, and pull them to the drainage system.

2. The second reason for dripping water in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner: liquefaction.

When the compressor is working, it will produce cold work, and when the refrigerant is compressed to produce cold work, it will release cold work outward. As a result, the surface temperatures of the pipes and condensers that transport the cold refrigerant are extremely low. The atmosphere is rich in saturated water vapor, which has the property of cooling, and will liquefy into water, so there is a phenomenon of "dripping" from the external machine.

Solution: Dripping water outside the machine is a normal phenomenon. You can solve this problem by connecting the drain pipe to the sewer pipe, or you can collect the water in a container and use it to water the flowers and mop the floor.

Three. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner drips water for three reasons. Condensation on pipes.

Because the insulation material on the pipe is too poor or too thin, or the wrapping is not complete, when the refrigerant in the pipe passes, it causes condensation.

Solution: This is a common phenomenon of dripping water in indoor pipes. When this phenomenon occurs, we should first open the tape and check if the insulation is aged or installed correctly.

If cracks or thinning are found, we can repack. At the same time, the aging tape can be replaced to maintain the tightness of the copper tube.

Bian Xiao: It is normal for the outdoor unit of the air conditioner to drip water, while the indoor unit drips for a variety of reasons. Users need to distinguish carefully, solve the problem of dripping water in the air conditioner, and spend the summer cool and comfortable.

The pipes between the indoor and outdoor are not connected properly or are disengaged.

Non-professional, it's just that the air conditioner in the house used to drip water indoors, and then that's it.

The reasons for dripping water from the outside unit of the air conditioner may be the following:

1.Condensate pipe blockage: The condensate pipe is the pipe that discharges the condensate generated by the indoor unit, if the pipe is blocked, the water will flow back to the outer unit, resulting in dripping. The solution is to clean the condensate pipes.

2.Blocked drain hole: There is a drain hole at the bottom of the unit, if it is blocked, the water will be trapped inside the unit, resulting in dripping. The solution is to clean the drain holes.

3.Unstable installation of the external unit: If the external unit is not installed smoothly, water will accumulate on one side, resulting in dripping. The solution is to reinstall the external machine.

4.Poor cooling effect of the external machine: If the cooling effect of the external mechanism is not good, it will lead to too much condensation, which cannot be discharged in time, resulting in dripping. The solution is to check the cooling effect of the external machine, and deal with it in time if it is necessary to replace the parts or repair.

To sum up, the way to solve the problem of dripping water in the external unit of the air conditioner is to clean the condensate pipes and drainage holes, reinstall the external unit, check the cooling effect of the external dust core and deal with the problem in time.

1. Is it normal for the air conditioner to drip from the outside unit?

Dripping water from the outside unit of the air conditioner is a common phenomenon, and as for whether it is normal, it should be judged according to the actual situation. If the temperature inside the air conditioner is very low, when the freon in the air conditioner flows in the pipe, the outside air will liquefy into water droplets when it encounters the cold pipe, which is a normal phenomenon.

If the air conditioner is not installed firmly, the air conditioner pipe will be displaced, and the air conditioner will also cause water dripping. There are many reasons that can cause air conditioner dripping, there are normal reasons and abnormal reasons, or find a professional air conditioner maintenance personnel for inspection and maintenance.

Generally, the water produced by the air conditioner is discharged through the drain pipe of the air conditioner. If the water is leaking from another part of the air conditioner, there is a problem. For example, if the air conditioner is installed at an inclination, the condensation generated by the air conditioner cannot flow out of the drain pipe, or because the drain pipe of the air conditioner is blocked by foreign objects, adjust the position of the air conditioner or replace a drain pipe.

2. What should I do if the air conditioner is dripping?

1. Quality problems of drainage pipes.

If there is a problem with the drain pipe, you can choose to replace the drain pipe*.

2. The installation of the indoor unit is not firm.

If the fixed hanging plate of the indoor unit is not installed and fixed firmly, it will be displaced after a long time, which will lead to a high position of the drain pipe on one side. Move the air conditioner, recalibrate the air conditioner position with a normal liquid level, and balance the air conditioner, or lower the end of the air conditioner's condensate pipe outlet as much as possible.

3. Dew condensation on the piping.

Sometimes, because the insulation material on the pipe is too poor or too thin, or not completely wrapped, when the refrigerant in the pipe passes, it will cause condensation. Disassemble the adhesive tape first, check whether the insulation material is aged, or properly installed, if you find a gap, or a thin phenomenon, you can rewrap it. At the same time, the aging tape can also be replaced to maintain the tightness of the copper pipe.

4. The drainage pipe is blocked.

If the drain pipe leading out of the exterior is artificially blocked, or the drain is blocked by stolen goods, the condensation cannot be discharged. If the building is designed with drainage pipes, it is important to check whether the drainage pipes are unblocked, and whether the drainage pipes and air-conditioning pipe connections are properly connected.

3. The dripping water of the air conditioner outside the unit affects the downstairs.

1. Sometimes, when the air conditioner is heating, the frost will drip down, which may affect the downstairs. You can put a sponge or other items used to absorb water on the outside of the neighbor's unit, which can not only reduce the impact of noise but also effectively absorb water.

2. Or lengthen the drain pipe of the air conditioner in your own home, and drain the wastewater discharged from the air conditioner to other places to ensure that it does not drip in the downstairs neighbor's house, and will not have a negative impact on your neighbor's house.

3. You can also use glue or other things to guide the drain pipe of the air conditioner to fix it elsewhere, which can be placed in a position that does not affect the neighbor and glued to the wall to fix it, so that the air conditioning water will not be discharged everywhere.

4. You can also connect a pipe to the room through the drain pipe of the air conditioner outside the unit, and prepare a bucket to connect the water discharged from the air conditioner to the bucket for watering flowers, etc., which does not affect the neighbors, and can also reuse the wastewater.

1. The installation of the wall-mounted internal machine is not horizontal, and the common reason is that the internal machine is low on the left and high on the right. Solution: Re-adjust the socks horizontally and fix the angle of the wall panel.

2. The connecting pipe of the indoor unit is low inside and high outside, causing the condensate to drip outside without flowing out. Solution: Re-punch (or reaming and trimming) to adjust the angle of the hole in the wall to achieve the inner height and the outer low, and the condensate will be discharged smoothly.

3. The inclination angle of the drainage pipe on the side of the indoor unit is too small, such as the drainage pipe is too long; uneven and winding drains; Loose drain fittings; Foreign objects in the drain pipe, dirty blockage, etc., will lead to water leakage of the external unit. Solution: Readjust the angle of the drain, such as shortening the length of the drain; rearrange drains; replacement of drains; Reconnect the drain pipes, connect the blind collapsed heads, etc.

4. The galvanized sheet for water conduction of the indoor unit of the air conditioner (three-fold section, four-fold section evaporator hang-up) is bent, deformed or falling off. Solution: a. The galvanized sheet is not assembled in place or falls off, and the galvanized sheet is reassembled bending and deformed, and the galvanized sheet is replaced.
