Although classified as an old type of air conditioner, Window AC is still used by various groups. Older AC windows have many advantages, but don’t get me wrong.

Air Conditioner (AC) windows are one of the most popular types of air conditioners in Indonesia. Of course, its popularity is not far from the advantages of Window AC itself. This is because when choosing an air conditioner, you must first look for quality and then for price. No one wants to buy an AC device that is expensive but of poor quality.

Advantages of Window Air Conditioner

Window air conditioner is a popular air conditioner, so let’s talk about the advantages of this type of air conditioner over other types. Let’s start!

1. Easy to install

The advantage of window air conditioners is that the installation process is simple. Even if you are not an expert, you can install it according to the attached manual.

Can you save more money by installing your own air conditioner so you don’t have to hire others?

2. Can be used for different time conditions

If you think you need to buy heating after window air conditioning, you are wrong. Using the HVAC system, the air conditioner can provide cold air in the summer and warm air in the winter.

3. No floor space required

As the name implies, window air conditioners do not require a floor and do not occupy a lot of space in the room. The air conditioner can be installed properly just by leaving a little space near the window.

4. Low cost

Window air conditioners are fairly cheap and reasonably priced. This is one of the advantages of window air conditioners that many people like. The cost of a window air conditioner depends on the brand, BTU capacity, and features provided by the device itself. You need to know the size of the room so that you can determine the correct BTU.

5. Energy Saving

As mentioned in the title, window air conditioners are energy efficient air conditioners. This is because you don’t have to spend a lot of money on maintenance and electricity. Your air conditioner is definitely energy efficient, especially when buying an air conditioner that has an Energystar certificate.

Disadvantages of Window Air Conditioner

Well, to be fair. You might also need to several disadvantages of using Window AC. Here are some disadvantages that you might have to consider before using Window AC.

• Since the air conditioner is installed in the window, light and natural air may not enter through the window. Installing window air conditioner is very difficult and requires a lot of energy as it requires drilling holes in windows and walls that are inefficiently large.
• Air conditioner selection is limited to the shape of the window model, so finding a suitable AC model can be difficult.
• This window AC also has advantages, but it is inefficient and this AC is rarely found. In addition, the somewhat cumbersome installation makes people lazy in choosing this air conditioner.

Well those are some advantages of the Window AC. If you are considering buying an air conditioner, you need to pay attention to the area of ​​the room and know in advance which type of air conditioner is suitable for installation. It is important to know the area of ​​the room, as the area of ​​the room is directly related to the PK (Paardekracht / PS) of the air conditioning system.

Why pay attention to PK when installing an air conditioner? Regarding power consumption, please adjust the power of the air conditioner according to the room. If the room is small and you are using an air conditioner with a large PK capacity, it will consume a lot of power.

For example, if the room is 10m2 and you are using AC PK, the room will feel cold, but it will use a lot of power. Also, if you use an air conditioner with a small PK capacity in a large room, it will take longer to cool.

Wall absorbers or so-called wall insulation can be attached to walls such as home walls, factory walls, office walls, and other buildings to adequately attenuate various noises that can occur. , A term for insulation that is fully damped.

Today, many large companies, factories, home remodeling, music studios, or various other commercial buildings and locations use wall-mounted dampers to keep the atmosphere comfortable and undisturbed by excessive noise.

Material for Wall Insulation to Reduce Noise

Good wall attenuator insulation should be made of polyester material and is eco-friendly as the soundproofing function is more efficient. Soundproofing material itself can be divided into two types: soundproofing material and sound absorbing material.

Do you think that the soundproofing material and the sound absorbing material are the same or different?

In the world of noise reduction, we often hear the word “silencer”. Is that the correct word?

Commonly known noise protection consists of adding a silencer to the room. Even if the use of the word silencer for soundproofing is not completely correct.

Soundproofing comes from the word sound and proofing. “Proofing” itself means reducing. Therefore, soundproofing means a material that reduces noise. Whether it’s reducing noise or reducing room echo.

Soundproofing Material

Soundproof material is a material that can block (block) the intrusion of sound into and out of the room. The wall made of soundproof material can withstand the intrusion of sound into other rooms, so there is no noise from the sound source in other rooms.

Insulation material is very heavy, non-porous, has a hard surface and is viscoelastic. Examples of soundproofing materials include Acourete Noise Armor, Red Brick, Iron Plate, and Acourete Paint EZ1.

Sound Absorbing Material

Next, the sound absorbing material will be explained. Absorbing here means absorbing sound from the sound source to reduce room noise.

Not all sound is absorbed by the absorber. When the sound hits the sound absorbing material, the sound is absorbed and partially transmitted. Therefore, if you need a sound-absorbing material that can reduce external noise so that it does not enter the room, use a sound-absorbing material instead. This is not appropriate. The absorber features a light, porous and soft surface. Examples of these materials include acurete board, follicle foam, rock wool, acolete fiber and so on.

As shown below, these two materials are often combined for good performance. However, the above two materials can be combined to obtain a good sound insulation partition wall system. Insulation must block incoming sound, and sound absorbers must absorb the remaining sound energy that is not blocked by the insulation. These combination will give the best result compared when you install only just one. However, note that installing those two combined will cost you a lot more money.

Well those are the deeper knowledge about the soundproofing material and sound absorbing material. If you are about to install wall insulation to reduce noise and etc., make sure you know the type of material that will be installed. Using correct material will enhance the proofing feature, or absorbing feature that will make your home or studio is protected and felt professional.
