Air conditioners Oasis is the main line of climatic equipment from the international holding Forte Klima GmbH, which is characterized by high reliability, improved efficiency and excellent techno-economical performance. The concern began to produce its first models in Germany in early 2013, and already in 2015, these products began to be delivered to other countries in Europe and the CIS.
Based on the many reviews of Oasis air conditioners, which in most cases are only positive, we can say that the German concern Forte Klima GmbH managed to create not only a truly high-quality product, but also a reliable customer support service throughout Russia and the CIS.
Due to the global expansion of the linear range of air conditioners, the description of which will be described in detail in this section, the Forte Klima GmbH concern relocated its main facilities to China.
The main range of air conditioners
Based on the information provided on the official website of the Forte Klima group, the company produces domestic, semi-industrial and industrial climate equipment of the following type:
- split systems (Akvilon NC-7, making Oasis everywhere CL-7, Zerten BL-9, etc.);
- inverter split systems (EL-9, EL-12, model EL-18);
- channel Oasis conditioners (PL-18M, PL-24M, PL-60M);
- semi-industrial cassette devices (PK-18M, PK-60M, PK-36M);
- floor and ceiling systems (PN-18M, PN-60M, PN-36M, etc.).
Wall-mounted household split systems
This type of climatic equipment is considered the most popular, since the demand in this market segment only rapidly grows every year.
Air conditioning, work in the "heat" mode or ventilation of the air in the room using the split system The oasis is traditionally carried out using 2 blocks: external and internal. The first of them, in which a high-performance compressor is located, is located on the facade of the building, and the other at any point in the premises served.
Since Oasis air conditioners belong to the budget segment of HVAC equipment, one cannot count on multifunctionality. However, with the basic functions, such as heating, air conditioning and ventilation, the air conditioner copes with a solid 5. With regard to additional features, here you can find:
- turbo mode for more efficient operation of the system;
- “Sleep” night mode, due to which the performance and noise level of the air conditioner are reduced;
- automatic diagnostic function for split system failures;
- on / off timer for HVAC equipment in accordance with the specified parameters.
Split systems Akvilon
One of the most popular lines of Oasis air conditioners is the Akvilon series. It works on safe refrigerant R410A, and effectively copes with the task, creating comfort in rooms with an area of 20 m2 (Akvilon NC-7 with a power of 2.051 kW in cooling mode and 2.198 kW in heating mode) up to 82 m2 (Akvilon NC-28 with a power of 8.2 kW in cooling mode and 8.5 kW in heating mode). Also, this model of equipment has gained such high popularity, due to the fact that the cost of the split system is 13,999 rubles.
If we consider the energy efficiency class, then these air conditioners belong to category “A” according to international standards of standardization and metrology.
Inverter split systems making oasis everywhere
Oasis inverter systems, unlike standard split systems, allow you to smoothly control the rotation speed of the compressor motor by converting AC voltage to DC. Thanks to this function, there are no inrush currents during operation of the system, which several times increase the power consumption of the system.
If we consider the functionality, then there are no differences from the above system.

Channel Oasis conditioners
If necessary, cool or heat fairly large objects with an area of up to 180 m2 (shopping centers, conference rooms, restaurants, etc.), which standard wall split systems cannot cope with, experts recommend installing this climate equipment.
Ducted “making oasis everywhere” air conditioners can easily be installed under a false ceiling and can be fully integrated into a centralized ventilation and air conditioning network.
To control channel-type air conditioners, a wired control panel is installed that allows you to:
- turn on the self-diagnosis system;
- program the operation of the channel air conditioner to heat, drain, cool or ventilate a given room;
- start the defrost function of the outdoor unit;
- set the temperature at the controlled facility.
Cassette Air Conditioners
Oasis cassette type air conditioners are ideal for any semi-industrial premises. They are mounted in a suspended ceiling and are able to evenly distribute chilled air in all directions.
Regarding the design, cassette air conditioners, like most climate systems, consist of an outdoor unit located outside the room and an indoor unit that can be built into any ceiling. The manufacturer of this equipment also took care of the attractiveness of these devices, since in the basic configuration they are delivered with special decorative Euro panels on the indoor unit.
To configure the system’s operability, a control panel is used that is universal and suitable for any Oasis climate equipment.
Instructions for the control panel and air conditioners Oasis
To control any Oasis split system, you need a remote control for the air conditioner. Using this device you can:
- enable ventilation / air conditioning or space heating;
- set the temperature level in the room;
- to program the timer of inclusion and switching off of the Oasis conditioner;
- set the direction of the rotary blinds for even distribution of air masses, etc.
More details about the functional purpose of the various buttons will tell the instructions for the Oasis conditioners.
Error codes for Oasis air conditioners
Regardless of the quality of the climatic equipment, if the maintenance and safety regulations are not observed, these air conditioners can fail. The reason for this may be:
- freon leakage;
- short in the compressor winding;
- failure of the control board;
- freezing of the heat exchanger;
- scoring a drainage system, etc.
For any of the above reasons, the self-diagnosis system of the air conditioner will inform you of a malfunction using the alphanumeric code on the display (indicator). In order to decipher the nature of the malfunction and the method for its elimination, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the section "error codes of air conditioners" in the manufacturer's manual (manual), which is presented above.
