The first Akira brand products appeared on the Russian market in 2002. At that moment, the range was presented by various household appliances: VCRs, televisions, music centers and more. Already the first batch of delivered goods began to be in high demand, due to the quality and reliability of equipment. Such popularity of the brand served as a fertile ground for expanding the dealer network throughout Russia (more than 50 cities in the first 2 years).
Since 2005, climate equipment has also been included in the list of products sold on the territory of the Russian Federation. TM Akira is owned by the Japanese corporation Akihabara Electric Corporation Ltd. and registered in Singapore back in 1994. Five years later, the brand is transformed into an independent production called Akira International Pte Ltd.
High quality products are achieved by the manufacturer due to:
- modern developments and technologies;
- opportunities for research work;
- powerful technical base.
The company has not only a network of its own production, but also several research laboratories. The largest plants of the enterprise are located in Singapore, Japan, China and South Korea. The company adheres to the principle of checking the reliability of equipment based on the results of sales in the domestic market, after which it is allowed to form batches for shipment for export worldwide.
The main line of air conditioners
Akira air conditioners are available in several versions. At the moment, before you buy Akira air conditioning, you should familiarize yourself with the whole rich assortment of products presented:
- a wide range of split systems from Akira, dividing climate systems into 4 different series;
- cassette multisplit;
- compact window air conditioners;
- column installations for air conditioning.
In the process of creating equipment, components are used only from trusted suppliers, which significantly extends the life of the finished device. Dividing the product into several main lines allows each customer to choose the device that meets his individual requirements and the characteristics of the serviced object.
Window air conditioners
Window blocks are the first climate technology released by the company. Monoblocks for windows are distinguished by the following technical characteristics:
- the ability to work in 3 speed modes;
- power consumption from 800 to 1020 W, depending on the model;
- cooling power up to 2600 watts.
It should be noted that the Akira brand is one of the few who to this day continues to supply this type of air conditioner to the Russian market.
Wall split systems
Two types of blocks are standardly included in the set of such equipment: internal and external. The durability and safety of operation of the devices is due to the use in the design of original compressors from leading world brands: Mitsubishi, Toshiba and Hitachi. Other distinctive features of household multisplits are:
- refined, but at the same time universal design;
- the presence of a highly efficient integrated filtration system, including plasma, electrostatic filters and ionizers;
- in some models of the AC series it is possible to connect one external unit to two internal at once without loss of performance of each of the devices.
All household split systems are quiet and easy to configure. Installation of air conditioning is possible both in the office and in the apartment.The choice of equipment depends on the area of the premises served. The price of products depends on the model and a certain series, among which are highlighted:
- "Light" ("ON / OFF"), equipped with a UV lamp for maximum cleaning and disinfection of air.
- "Turbo" ("ON / OFF"), designed for office and residential premises up to 70 m2.
- "Standart" with Inverter technology.
- Air Premium, incorporating the latest developments in the field of climate technology. Created also on the basis of an inverter.
Each of the devices of any series is able to quickly ensure the achievement of the necessary parameters, both in heating and cooling mode. The convenience of setting and switching modes is provided by the remote control.
Multi-split cassettes
Cassette units are absolutely invisible in the room, as they are mounted in a suspended (suspended) ceiling. Due to its high performance, the “cassette” from Akira can cope with enlarged objects, while working almost silently. Most in demand in crowded places: shopping centers, business halls, shops, restaurants, etc.
Cassette systems have earned fame not only in Russia but throughout the world. The advantages of cassette equipment are:
- complete "disguise" in any interior;
- variability of instrument settings and ease of control;
- uninterrupted service of premises with an increased area (up to 160 m2).
The only rule when choosing “cassettes” is to entrust the installation of equipment to professionals, since violation of the installation algorithm can lead to undesirable breakdowns and premature failure.
Column air conditioners
In addition to the main operating modes, columned air conditioners can also be turned on in sleep mode. Also, the presence of a built-in timer allows the system to work according to a predetermined schedule. In addition, they have such features as:
- power limit for cooling 12000 W, for heating 13200 W;
- creating a microclimate at the facility up to 50 m2;
- increased productivity in drainage mode - 5 l / h.
All multi-column columns are controlled using a remote device. For ease of use, the system is equipped with a function for storing selected settings.
