Air conditioner and baby. Benefit, harm and rules of use

To date, household air conditioning is one of the list of the most necessary equipment. If without a TV, phone, etc. you can do without air conditioning, in hot weather it is quite difficult to do this.

A modern, non-inverter air conditioner (On-Off) does not just cool the air, it creates a comfortable indoor climate, filters and purifies the air from harmful microorganisms, dust, and bacteria.

And if we talk about an inverter split system (air / air heat pump), then its operation is not limited to one summer season, but it is used all year round, both for cooling in summer and for heating in winter.

However, at the time of making the decision to buy and install an air conditioner, many parents have the question: "Won't it be harmful to the child?" .

Neoclima , in this article will tell you how to use the air conditioner correctly, so that it would not be harmful, but would only bring benefits and relief during the hot season, both for adults and children.

Air conditioning and a child - the conclusion of professionals

Since the invention and use of air conditioners, many different studies have been carried out, the results of which have repeatedly shown that the air conditioner itself is absolutely not dangerous for the health of the child and the person as a whole. The question is rather in the correct operation of such equipment.

According to leading pediatricians, it will be much worse for a child to be in stuffiness, in a room with stale air than in a cool room. And especially when it comes to babies.

It is known that in babies, in the first year of life, heat transfer has not yet been formed, and therefore the body temperature significantly exceeds the norm.

That is, if an adult is hot, then the child will be even hotter. And this is a proven fact by doctors.

Accordingly, kids need air conditioning no less than an adult user.

Neoclima air conditioner - basic operating rules

As mentioned above, the Neoclima split system itself is harmless to health. The danger lies in the improper use of the air conditioning system.

It is important that when installing the air conditioner in the children's room, the blinds are not directed towards the crib. The flow of cold air should not be directed directly at the baby.

It is also important to properly regulate the temperature in the room and monitor it. There should not be a big difference between the temperature in the street and in the room.

The next important point is that the air conditioner must be regularly serviced (washed, cleaned). Depending on the intensity of use, as a rule - once a week. And full service, refueling with freon, washing with hot steam, it is recommended to carry out once a year.

It is no secret that almost all split systems dry the air, so it is important not to forget to moisten it. With the help of humidifiers, you can maintain the desired level of humidity in the room.

In general, the duet of an air conditioner with a humidifier is the key to a clean, fresh and comfortable indoor microclimate.

Sudden temperature changes - an error when using the air conditioner

Typically, diseases from the air conditioner occur due to sudden and large temperature changes. When it is +30°C outside and +20°C indoors, this can negatively affect a person's well-being - especially when it comes to children.

Often there are cases when, after an active game on the street, having come to a room with air conditioning, the next day the child becomes ill. This is due to the large temperature difference. Basically, it is at such moments that it is easiest to "earn" a cold.

The optimal temperature difference between the street and the room is 5°С-7°С. For example, at +30°C outside, it is ideal to set +23°C in the room.

Forewarned is forearmed. Let's summarize

Based on the above information, we can conclude that with proper operation, timely maintenance, the air conditioner will only help and guarantee a comfortable microclimate in your home.
