Cleaning and disinfecting air conditioning systems. Why and how?

Cleaning and disinfecting air conditioning systems

Since the widespread use of air conditioning in flats, offices, shops and industry, the question of why and how to clean and disinfect air conditioning has become an important issue since the COVID 19 crisis..

Cleaning and disinfecting air conditioning systems requires compliance with specific procedures and the use of appropriate equipment. When air conditioning systems are not cleaned or are cleaned incorrectly, they can become harmful and lead to more or less serious illnesses, which is why the entire system must be disinfected after cleaning.

Why clean and disinfect air conditioning systems?

This disinfection operation is essential and must be carried out after each cleaning.

It's not the cold air that makes you sick!! but everything your air conditioner releases into the air.

To prevent the onset of the 4 most common pathologies

• Legionellosis, Viruses, Bacteria
• Mushrooms, Spores
• Allergens,
• Sick Building Syndrome.

To extend the life of your air conditioner

Regular cleaning of air conditioning units reduces the risk of parts failure, greatly reduces electricity consumption and extends the life of the equipment, You'll be able to avoid breakdowns, extend the life of your air conditioner and improve its efficiency when it's properly cleaned and dusted.

How do I clean and disinfect air conditioning units?

Air conditioners are relatively difficult to clean. The surfaces and components inside the air conditioner are fragile and difficult to access, and the use of high-pressure systems is not recommended.

Which parts and components should be cleaned first?

access the condensate tray on the indoor unit to clean it

• Condensate drip trays
• Air vents
• Exhaust ducts
• Piping
• Air filters

That's why we created the CLIM3000 steam cleaning appliance

A "special" air conditioning steam generator for professionals. Allowing them to carry out the work easily and qualitatively, without splashes and without risks for the air conditioner. We also offer a protective cover for splits (made in France) that is extensible, robust and adaptable to all splits. This air-conditioning cleaning kit for split covers, which we call SPS.

Cleaning and disinfecting air conditioning systems thanks to high-pressure steam

High-pressure, high-temperature steam is used to clean, disinfect and degrease air-conditioning surfaces and components without damaging them, saving water and treating the most inaccessible areas.

Why clean, disinfect, degrease and decontaminate air conditioners using dry steam?

Degreasing air conditioners, Using dry steam at 175°C combined with a pressure of 8 bars makes it possible to :

• Dissolve fats
• Removing dirt
• Destroy micro-organisms and breathe HEALTHY air
• Save electricity (dirt prevents good heat exchange and increases compressor running time). An uncleaned system can consume up to 30% more electricity.
• Increase the lifespan of the equipment, as it will be subjected to less stress.
• Provides more powerful, faster and more even air distribution.

To ensure that the most resistant strains are destroyed, we use a powerful 100 % disinfectant of natural origin, specific to air conditioners, in conjunction with steam.

The importance of decontaminating air conditioners?

Air conditioning provides thermal comfort in buildings.

Air conditioning and its splits can also cause health problems, environmentmental and economic. The appearance of numerous pathologies and excessive energy consumption can be the result of a lack of or poor maintenance of air conditioning systems.

A totally safe operation

Does not scratch surfaces or bend often fragile fins Does not oxidise or corrode the non-ferrous metals in the air conditioner. Does not damage components around the air conditioner (splashes, drips, etc.) Compatible with the air conditioner's electronic components. It's an environmentally-friendly 100% solution.

What equipment should I use to clean and disinfect my air conditioning?

We recommend the use of CLIM3000our Professional Steam Cleaner specifically designed for this application. Powerful system: generating steam at 8 bar and 175°C.

Cleaning and disinfecting air conditioning systems is therefore a delicate operation, which is why IBL Concept recommends steam cleaning and disinfecting air conditioning systems to treat certain specific surfaces: fins, condensers, coolers, pipework and exhaust ducts.

Steam under pressure and at very high temperature will make it possible to clean and degrease all air conditioning surfaces and components without damaging them, by saving water and in treating the most inaccessible places, The pressure will provide mechanical action, stirring up and loosening the dirt without scratching the surfaces to be cleaned or bending the often very fragile fins, LHigh-pressure steam cleaner for air-conditioning systems simultaneously cleans and disinfects for optimum cleaning.
