Professor of the Department of Nanoelectronics at RTU MIREA, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Alexey Yurasov revealed the main danger of using air conditioners in winter.
He explained that using air conditioners in winter can have a negative impact on health.
The specialist named overdrying of air as one of the main problems, Lenta.ru reports.
Air conditioners significantly reduce the level of humidity in the room when heating.
Yurasov recalled that dry air causes dry skin and eyes, and also causes discomfort and irritation.
He also noted that low air humidity leads to a decrease in the body's protective functions.
As practice shows, the accumulation of dust and allergens in the air conditioner is also a problem.
Yurasov emphasized that regular cleaning and replacement of filters is important to maintain clean air.
In winter, the air conditioner operates less efficiently due to the accumulation of condensation in the system and additional load on the compressor.
