Panasonic multi-split systems are modern innovations in the line of HVAC equipment, characterized by high efficiency, reliable and safe operation, as well as a wide range of models.
The production of HVAC equipment under the Panasonic brand is engaged in factories in Japan, China and Malaysia. Thanks to this, the concern produces both budget options (PANASONIC CS / CU-YW9MKD) and a VIP-class device (CS-E28RKDS / CU-E28RKD).
This review will present reviews of owners of Panasonic products, comparative characteristics of popular models, user manual, as well as codes of all kinds of errors.
Classification and characteristics of the linear series
Since Panasonic has been the flagship in the production of HVAC equipment for decades, it produces both “budget” equipment for installation in apartments or small houses, as well as high-performance semi-industrial or industrial systems for major offices, retail halls or industrial premises.
Classification
Depending on the design, the company's products are conventionally divided into:
- Wall split systems compressor (CU-UE18RKD) and inverter type (CU-UE12RKD).
- Cassette Systems for Air Conditioning (S-F24DB4E5 / U-B24DBE5).
- Inverter air conditioners for floor and ceiling installation for installation on large facilities or in sales rooms (S-F24DTE5 / U-B24DBE5).
- Panasonic channel air conditioners for installation and connection of devices into the general ventilation and air conditioning system of a building (S-F34DD2E5 / U-B34DBE8).
Wall conditioners
This type of model allows you to efficiently and cost-effectively cool or warm rooms up to 76 m2 (PANASONIC CS-E28RKDS / CU-E28RKD). Moreover, thanks to energy-efficient technology and the use of an inverter system, the efficiency class of these devices reaches A +++.
This type of device demonstrates ideal performance both in a spacious apartment and in a small office building.
