What is the recommended maintenance cycle for a hybrid acdc solar window ac

Filter Cleaning Recommendations
Air conditioning filters are the first line of defense against dust, pollen, and particulate matter in the air. Prolonged cleaning can lead to poor airflow, increased energy consumption, and reduced cooling performance.

For home use, it is recommended to inspect and clean the filter every 15-30 days.
For industrial or high-dust areas, it is recommended to inspect and clean the filter every 7-15 days.

Wash with warm water and a neutral detergent, allow to dry, and then reinstall.

Using a hair dryer at high temperatures to dry the filter is not recommended to prevent deformation.

Solar Module Inspection Cycle

Solar panels are the core power supply component of the Hybrid ACDC Solar Window AC. Their cleanliness is directly related to their power conversion efficiency. Dust, bird droppings, leaves, and other contaminants will significantly reduce power generation efficiency. It's recommended to inspect the surface condition of the solar panels every 1-2 months. For rooftop installations, it's recommended to clean them regularly at the beginning of each month. In areas with frequent windy and sandy weather, inspections should be conducted more frequently. Gently wipe with a soft-bristled brush and non-corrosive cleaning solution.

Power System Maintenance Recommendations: The power system in the Hybrid ACDC Solar Window AC includes the MPPT controller, battery (if installed), and voltage converter. Maintenance is required to ensure safe power supply and extend the life of the electrical system.
It's recommended to inspect the terminals, heat sink, and waterproof seal of the MPPT controller every 6 months. If equipped with a battery, the voltage and capacity of lithium or lead-acid batteries should be checked every 3-6 months. It's recommended to conduct a routine test of the DC/AC power switching function at the beginning of each year. Check all connecting cables for signs of aging, breakage, or poor contact.

Outdoor Unit Heat Sink and Condenser Maintenance Cycle: The outdoor unit's heat sink and condenser are critical components for maintaining efficient heat exchange. Dust, oil, and foreign matter can lead to poor heat dissipation, which in turn increases the load on the compressor. It's recommended to clean the fins and condenser surface every three months.
Use a dedicated air conditioner cleaning foam spray and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing.
Maintain ventilation around the air conditioner and avoid any debris.

Compressor and fan motor inspection cycles:
The compressor is the heart of the system, and its operating condition directly determines cooling efficiency and energy consumption. Smooth fan motor operation is crucial for efficient indoor and outdoor air exchange.
It's recommended that the compressor undergo a professional current load test every 12 months.
It's recommended that the fan motor be inspected every 6-12 months for abnormal noise or unstable speed.
If overheating, abnormal noise, or frequent starts and stops are detected, consult a qualified technician immediately.

Refrigerant system maintenance recommendations:
Most hybrid ACDC solar window ACs use environmentally friendly refrigerants, such as R32 and R410A. Refrigerant leaks or shortages will directly affect cooling capacity and energy efficiency. It is recommended to test the refrigerant pressure every 12-18 months.
If poor cooling, abnormal air outlet temperature, or frost on copper pipes are detected, the refrigerant system should be inspected immediately. Refrigerant refilling must be performed by qualified refrigeration technicians; unauthorized refilling is strictly prohibited.

Smart Control System Maintenance Cycle
Hybrid ACDC Solar Window ACs are often equipped with a Wi-Fi module, app remote control system, or PLC control system. Their stability and responsiveness should be regularly tested.
It is recommended to update the control system firmware every 6 months.
Check Wi-Fi signal coverage and connection stability.
Clear the app cache and update the software to maintain smooth remote control.
