How to make an air conditioner with your own hands?

In the hot season, everyone is faced with the problem of heat, and at the moment there are many solutions for it. Some use fans, and some use more functional devices, air conditioners. Such devices are not cheap, but they differ in excellent quality and functionality. Those who want to save a tidy sum are wondering: how to make an air conditioner with your own hands? First you need to familiarize yourself with the principle of operation of such a device and several options for making home-made equipment. This will be discussed in this article.

The principle of operation of the air conditioner

The modern indoor climate control device consists of several main parts:

• Cooling radiator - reduces the temperature due to the evaporation of the refrigerant.
• Pressure unit - devices that attract warm air.
• Condenser - thickens refrigerant vapor.
• Compressor - pumps the refrigerant out of the cooling radiator and transfers it to the condenser.

The principle of operation of this device is to cool the air by absorbing warm air from the atmosphere.

How to make an air conditioner yourself?

In order to make an air conditioner with your own hands at home, you will need only two main elements:

• Cooling unit - reduces air temperature.
• Pressure block - provides circulation of cold air in the room.

Important! Other elements to create a home-made design will not be required, since they play a secondary role - the continuity of the cooler. However, there is one important nuance - this technique will work as long as the temperature of the cooler unit is less than the temperature of the air in the room. In most cases, this problem can only be solved if the unit is replaced.

If you have enough experience and skills to assemble various devices, you may be interested in practicing how to do-it-yourself fridge.

Several options for creating home-made cooling equipment

Using the information below, you can easily make climate technology yourself. The main advantage of making home air conditioning appliances is that you don’t have to bother with the condenser and refrigerant, as it takes a lot of time. The only thing you need is a cold stream of air and imagination. Let's get acquainted with several creative ideas for creating climate devices for air cooling.

Ice and cold air

When using this option, the role of the cooling unit is played by containers with frozen water, and a normal fan acts as a supercharger. The assembly diagram of such a device is as follows:

1. Take a plastic bottle with a tightly closed lid.
2. We cut out two holes in the lid: the first should coincide with the distance in the fan grill, and the second with a diameter of no more than 1 centimeter.
3. A special square is inserted into the second hole, an L-shaped part will appear above the lid.
4. We attach a fan to the first hole using self-tapping screws.
5. We put ice cubes or cold water in the container.

Important! The advantage of this option is that it does not require special effort and investment.However, there is a need to constantly add water or pour ice.

Fan and cold water

In this case, we do not use ice, but ordinary cold water. We begin to make home-made climate equipment:

1. We place two tubes in a large-capacity plastic container (one is short, the other is long).
2. At the neck of the tank we fix the aquarium compressor, which will suck in the nozzle connected to the hose.
3. A fan is attached to the lid of the container, on the grate of which a copper tube in the form of a spiral is fixed.
4. The ends of the spiral are connected to the pipe and a short hose, which is located at the bottom of the barrel.
5. A special retainer is attached to the short hose, which restricts the movement of fluid back into the barrel.

When the fan is turned on, the copper spiral will fill with water, and cold air will be evenly distributed throughout the room.

Important! From time to time, the water inside the barrel will have to be changed to colder, because after a certain period it will reach room temperature, and the benefit of such an installation will be lost.

Climatic device from an old refrigerator

This option is recommended to be used only by experienced craftsmen, since in the refrigerator itself there are many details unknown to the average person. In order to make the air conditioner out of the refrigerator with your own hands, you should follow these instructions:

1. Unscrew the doors from the freezer and refrigerator.
2. In the freezer, fix the electric fan without damaging the walls.
3. Using a drill, make several holes in the bottom of the case (1.5 cm).
4. Pull the capacitor grid out of the room using plastic wrap.

Important! Do you like to do it yourself? Our experts have also prepared for you many more interesting portal of useful tips, prepared separate articles for you:

• DIY boiler.
• DIY furniture - drawings and diagrams.

If you were unable to remove the capacitor grating, you will have to open the freon transmission path. However, then you still have to pour in a new portion for the fruitful exploitation of home-made equipment.

Important! The only drawback of such a device is that it takes a huge amount of electricity, so for most this method of creation remains on the sidelines.
