Does the Typhoon Air Conditioner Need a Collapse or Reinforcement?

External air conditioning: Fixing is more important than receiving
In the face of Typhoon, many residents first think of the collapse balcony and clothes, but often ignore the outside air conditioner hanging outside the wall.I can’t and can’t recommend “Collapse.”They are usually fixed on the exterior walls of the building by a metal shelf, dismantling not only large project volume, but also can damage the waterproof layer of the wall or the refrigerant pipeline.
According to the national standard of the tropical cyclone grade of the China Meteorological Agency, when Typhoon reaches Severe Tropical Storm and above, wind force is sufficient to pose a threat to the outdoor suspension.Al the outer suspension of ordinary residential has taken into account some wind resistance when designing, it can cause the screw to loosen, the suspension to rust.If the outer suspension itself is unstable, or the suspension has seen noticeable rust, it can become a dangerous "high windfall" in the strong wind.
Self-Checking List: Three Steps to Eliminating Hidden Risks
Before the Typhoon Landfall, it is recommended that you take a few minutes of time to perform a quick "physical examination" of the air conditioning outside of your home.Please pay attention to safety, do not go outside the window, try to look through the glass from the inside, or view the inside of the balcony under absolute safety assurance :
- See the status.: Observe whether the triangular shelf of the fixed exterior has signs of severe rust, deformation or rupture.If the shelf appears to shake, do not deal with it yourself, should immediately contact the professional repair staff or property for emergency reinforcement.
- Check the fixed screw.: Check whether the expansion screw that connects the wall and the rack is loose.If the screw hat is missing or the rack shakes, indicating that the fixing force is insufficient, a professional needs to re-strengthen.
- Clean the surroundings.Make sure there is no accumulation of garbage around the aircraft, especially on the top of the aircraft, do not place flowers, dragging, etc. These items are very easy to blow down in the strong wind, injure pedestrians or damage the underground vehicles.
Early warning response and follow-up
When the meteorological department releases typhoon yellow, orange or red early warning signals, a corresponding stop-off mechanism will usually be triggered around the place. Standards may vary from place to place, subject to local government publication.During the red early warning, the wind force is extremely high, and any outdoor operations are strictly prohibited, including attempts to reinforce the outer aircraft.If you find a serious security threat to the outer aircraft during your self-check and you can not immediately contact a professional, the best practice is to remind the neighbors and passers of the floor to avoid it, and reserve the risk in the owner group or community grid.
After the Typhoon, do not immediately ignore the external aircraft. it is recommended to check again if the external aircraft has been displaced, no noise during operation. If the cooling effect decreases or noise increases, it is possible that the internal fan sheet is damaged or the motor is in water, then use should be suspended and contact after-sales repair.
