The Russian company Ariada is a leading manufacturer of refrigeration equipment for shops, markets, and pastry shops. In the product range, a special place is occupied by the remote cooling unit, which allows optimizing the space of the outlet - the work module can be installed on the street. Split system Ariad differs from analogues in affordable cost, good technical and operational characteristics.
The main line of air conditioners and products
The principle of operation of the equipment is largely similar to the operation of conventional air conditioners. The difference lies in the scope - the refrigeration module is serviced, a showcase. Its volume is less than that of a standard room. Therefore, the power of the equipment is much less. The company paid great attention to automatically maintaining the level of air cooling - the temperature regime is regulated depending on changes in external factors without manual control.
Accepted classification of remote refrigeration equipment:
- KMS series medium temperature complex. Designed to maintain the degree of air cooling in the chamber in the range from -5 ° C to + 5 ° C. This mid-temperature split system is often used for pastry shops. The list of standard options includes blown glass from fogging, the ability to install drainage, which is included in the package. Advantages - low power consumption, the ability to select the power of cold generation. The latter indicator varies from 0.95 to 4 kW.
- The efficient low-temperature KLS split system is the best option for long-term food storage. The freezing complex has the same size as the above CCM model. In KLS installations, it is possible to change the compressor power, thereby increasing the range of cooling capacity.
The technical data sheet contains a detailed description of each model. The obvious advantages include the quality of critical equipment components: L’unite Hermetique compressors, Eliwell electronic control units, and electric fans of the German EBM brand were installed. This ensures energy efficiency, class AA electricity consumption.
The system uses Freon R404A. It was designed to work with special refrigeration equipment operating in medium and low temperature conditions. According to its technical characteristics, it is one of the safest and most stable refrigerants. It has one drawback - its relatively high cost.
Comparison of the characteristics of popular models
The selection of the most suitable model of this climatic equipment is not according to the standard scheme. Not only each characteristic, but also additional parameters of the model are taken into account - the size of the display case, the total area of the glazing. It is also important to know the installation features - the installation of the air conditioner is carried out in two stages. The first is the installation of a display case, the second is the installation and connection of the climate unit.
During the selection, pay attention to such characteristics:
- The volume of the chamber in which the products are placed. For cooling 1 m³, the cooling capacity must be at least 0.51 kW.
- Temperature range of work.
- Air performance. Actual for preserving the freshness of products.
- Dimensions of the air conditioning unit, methods of its installation;
- The cost of a complete set and additional items.
To compare the parameters of popular models, a comparative table was compiled. The data was taken from the user manual.
| Model | KMS-107 | KLS-220 | KMS-330N |
| Rated power | 0,95 | 0,76 | 1,04 |
| Air performance | 400 | 800 | 2000 |
| Power TENOV | 0,7 | 0,7 | 2,05 |
| Surface area | 6,88 | 12,7 | 12,7 |
| Fan power | 1*0,254 | 2*0,22 | 1*0,315 |
| Dimensions | 800*550*1040 | 1100*500*1040 | 1130*660*1150 |
| Weight | 85 | 107 | 132 |
The price depends on the capacity of the installation and varies from 45,000 to 80,000 rubles. For auxiliary components will need to pay extra.
Additionally, the dimensions and weight of the package are taken into account, the instruction contains this information. This is relevant when planning the transportation of HVAC equipment and the costs associated with this.
Instructions for the control panel and air conditioners Ariada
To control the cooling system, an electronic unit is provided in the design. Many processes are automated, it is enough for the user to set the initial settings and the equipment will support this mode, taking into account changes in external factors. The design provides protection against voltage drops, there is a low and high pressure switch of the working fluid in the compressor.
The remote control for the air conditioner can be purchased separately, it is not included in the standard package. It has a limited list of functions and is intended for the following actions:
- Switching operation modes. There is a Mode key for this, the result is displayed on the LCD.
- Decrease / increase in cooling capacity in the manual mode.
- Tracking the current performance of the system.
- Receive notifications of possible crashes and malfunctions.
Normal operation is only possible if the maintenance rules are followed. A detailed instruction for air conditioners contains information and a list of necessary measures:
- cleaning the nodes of accumulated dirt, dust;
- check the parameters of the power supply, it is recommended to install a power supply;
- integrity check of the line, possible refrigerant leaks;
- refueling of the compressor with oil and refrigerant systems are carried out in accordance with the specified time.
When adding oil to the compressor or coolant, it is necessary to choose the same brand that was used previously. If this is not possible, you should completely clean the system, rinse it and fill it with a new composition.
Error codes for Ariad air conditioners
The occurrence of malfunctions or malfunctions is automatically recorded by the control devices. As a result, error codes are displayed. They indicate the nature of the failure, but the user manual does not describe them in full. Codes are intended for technicians who will carry out repair work. The manufacturer is not recommended to do remedial measures on their own.
The manual indicates malfunctions that can be determined and corrected on your own:
- The block does not work. No power, fuse tripped.
- Installation works without interruption. This is due to the frequent loading of the camera with warm air.
- Short cycles of functioning. A large number of products in the chamber, or too high ambient temperature.
A common cause of malfunctioning is continuous operation at maximum power. This leads to quick wear of parts and frequent breakdowns.
User reviews
Target consumers of these products are the owners of restaurants, cafes and bars. Their reviews of the company's models are mostly positive. In addition to good build quality, there is an assortment of products and the ability to create a complete refrigeration complex to solve certain problems.
Benefits:
- responsible units of equipment from world famous brands;
- a network of specialized service centers;
- long term of maintenance-free operation.
Disadvantages:
- relatively high cost;
