The French manufacturer of HVAC equipment was established in 1947, its products appeared on the Russian market in 2004. It specializes in the production of domestic air conditioners, industrial and commercial installations, including Airwell VRF. They are designed for multi-zone climate control in various rooms of the same building.
Airwell Air Conditioner Classification
The company's activities can be divided into two areas - the manufacture of domestic air conditioners and commercial (industrial) models. The brand was one of the first to create a unique climate control system - conditioning wine cellars. Advantages - reliability, a large assortment, efficiency of work.
Airwell Air Conditioner Classification by Design and Operational Features:
- Household systems designed to maintain the temperature in the rooms of a house or apartment. This function is performed by split air conditioners or multi-split systems. The latter are designed to serve several rooms.
- Floor and ceiling. The best option for an office or a trading floor.
- Airwell cassette air conditioners can serve a large area at the same time, as air enters directly from four sides of the structure.
- Airwell Professional Duct Air Conditioner delivers chilled air to the piping system. They can be used to create comfortable conditions in several rooms of the building at the same time.
- Devices in the form of a column. They have great performance.
- Roof models. Heated or cooled air enters through a system of channels.
The difference between household and models and for commercial use lies not only in functionality, but also in the cost of maintenance. This must be considered before buying. Particularly difficult systems for wine cellars.
When choosing, it is important to consider not only the total area of the room, but also the height of the ceilings. The volume of the room depends on this. The maximum permissible value is indicated in the operating instructions.
Popular air conditioning models
The selection of industrial or commercial climate systems should be carried out on a professional level. So, when choosing the characteristics of the optimal model of the Airwell fwde ybde 024 floor-to-ceiling air conditioner, the direction of the air flow, power, surface material, where the indoor unit will be installed, are taken into account.
For household Airwell systems, it is important to know the nominal power indicator, the volume of the air flow, the operating modes and operational features - the minimum outdoor temperature, frequency of service, type of refrigerant.
For a preliminary analysis, it is proposed to compare several popular household models of Airwell air conditioners.
HDD Series
Modern Airwell hdd air conditioners are inverter air conditioners, which has a positive effect on energy saving and room cooling rate. They have a standard design, can be used in commercial or residential premises.
Features:
- an antibacterial filter is installed in the indoor unit;
- cooling power - from 2.6 to 6.45 kW;
- performs the function of air purification.
Cost - from 31,000 rubles.
Air conditioners of this series can operate at outdoor temperatures of -15 ° C, which is convenient for the climatic features of Russia.
HGD Series
It has a unique design - there are wavy lines on the surface of the indoor unit.Implemented a modern display system of current parameters. The values on the LED screen are displayed through the plastic.
Characteristics:
- cooling power indicator - from 2.6 to 3.5 kW;
- depth of the indoor unit - up to 159 mm;
- there is an inverter.
The cost is from 66,125 rubles.
These models use R410A, an environmentally friendly refrigerant. An additional positive feature is the low rate of evaporation from the system.
HHF Series
A budget option that does not use inverter technology. They are characterized by a classic appearance, an optimal set of functions. Reliability of work is noted. The advantage is low-cost maintenance.
Characteristics:
- cooling power - from 2.2 to 6.15 kW;
- there is a heating and ventilation function;
- Photocatalytic and antibacterial filters are added to the design.
Price - from 12670 p.
The table shows the comparative characteristics of the models.
Model | Power, kWt | Minimum outside temperature ° C | Price |
HHF 007-N11 | 2,2 | -7 | 12600 |
HDD 009-N11 | 2,6 | -15 | 31625 |
HGD 009-N11 | 2,6 | -15 | 66125 |
The best option would be HDD series air conditioners. If it is necessary to combine a unique design and best performance - it is recommended to opt for HGD models
Airwell Remote Control and Air Conditioner Instructions
Changes in the operation of climate systems are carried out in two ways - using the remote control or buttons located on the indoor unit. The latter applies only if there is a problem with the remote control for the Airwell air conditioner.
The configuration features are described in the manual and are as follows:
- the presence of automatic and sleep modes;
- minimum temperature change - 1 ° C;
- when exceeding the limits of the permissible value of heating (cooling), the inscription “LO” appears.
The settings are intuitive, but to fully use all the features of the air conditioner, you need to read the manual.
Error codes for Airwell conditioners
The attached manual does not indicate error codes; instead, they describe in detail the common causes of malfunctioning or system failure.

If these tips did not help, then you need to analyze the error code and / or consult a specialist.
User reviews
The reviews indicate good quality factory assembly, low noise and an optimal set of functions. The only drawback is the inability to turn off the sound effects when you press the buttons on the remote control and the lack of backlight on it. All reviews can be briefly posted on the pros and cons.
Pros:
- a large number of operating modes;
- there is a drainage mode;
- fast heating and cooling;
- low noise.
Minuses:
- relatively high cost;
