Is your air conditioning not cooling properly?
We tell you what the thermal jump is and why this test is done
He air-conditioning It is one of the most desired household appliances in summer, because it helps you keep your home cool when the heat is too hot. Obviously, it consumes a lot of electrical energy and makes the electricity bill more expensive. Above all, when the air conditioner is not cooling properlyand the best way to detect this is measuring electrical jump to determine if performance is acceptable, or technical assistance is needed.
What is the thermal jump?
The thermal jump will tell us if the air conditioning we have at home is working properly. To do this, we have to check the filters first (they must be clean), let the appliance run for about 15 minutes, that maintenance is up to date, that the air outlet in the evaporator is uniform…
To measure the thermal jump, we need a probe that measures the air temperature. To calculate this parameter, It is a very simple equation to use:
- Outlet temperature – Inlet temperature = Thermal jump.
If the result is greater than 12 degrees, the equipment works properly; if it is much higher, the air may not work well, the same as if it is low.
In any case, If the tests determine a thermal jump outside the normal parameters, it is best that you call a technician immediately.
