After all, they not only create comfortable living conditions, but also the correct temperature conditions for the operation of complex and sensitive electronic equipment. Climatic equipment of this level is quite complicated both in installation, and in operation and management. Deal with all the nuances will help reviews on air conditioners of various manufacturers.

Air Conditioner Selection Criteria

You need to make a choice of the climatic device according to several parameters:

Cooling capacity - A key parameter of the air conditioner, described in BTU - British thermal units. Most models of quality brands have this value encrypted in the name. 1000 BTU is approximately 0.3 kW. When choosing power, it is necessary to take into account not only the area of ​​the room, but also the availability of electrical appliances, and the intensity of use of the room, the number of people there and the purpose of the room.

Energy efficiency –The ratio of power consumption and BTU (cooling power), in other words, it is the efficiency of the air conditioner.

Compressor type - normal or inverter. Inverter mechanisms in all respects, including cost, are ahead of the rest.

Air Purification Quality - depends on the efficiency and type of filtration system.The most common in modern devices are carbon filters, an aqua-nanogeneration system, and antibacterial ultraviolet lamps.

Control system - characterized by the presence of a control mode of the air condition in the room and automatic change in the intensity and temperature of the air flow.

Indoor Unit Design - is no less important parameter of the device than power. Whether the device fits harmoniously into the interior of the apartment or whether it looks like a foreign object depends on the shape and external parameters.
