    I don't know what you want, but that is the only proper way. It consists of washing, disinfection and protection of slime build-up.
    Therefore your air conditioner is not source of bad, smelly, unhealthy air.

    I have seen people join a air line gun to a nitrogen bottle and regulator and blow the units out.

    The guy was asking about cleaning with air and this is proberly what he has heard of.

    There is no easy way of cleaning indoor unit if it's soiled. I would always recommend that stripping the unit down and taking drainpan, fan blade, covers, filters and louvers to a place where they can be cleaned..i.e..large sink, outside, bathroom area. The indoor coil clean with appropriate spray whilst drain pan is connected and if necessary the condensate pump operating. It's not worth looking for easier or quicker ways, blowing the unit through with air won't solve any issues with smell etc...I wouldn't carry out the above works on a general service though.

    I second that. But, if its just dust, you can blow it with nitrogen and afterwards spray some carlyBio in the intake over the complete length of the coil. Make sure the fan is running. and you are wearing breathing, hand and eye protection. Oh and make sure the room is ventilated

    I live in Singapore and I think I found what the article which describes what you are talking about. Just Google this phrase "How to Clean your Split Air Conditioner like a Pro- Save Time And Money" to find it.
