The Polair Group of Companies is the leader in the Russian market for the production of refrigeration equipment with an annual turnover of about $ 150,000,000. The production capacity of the concern totals more than 134,000 m2 and geographically located in more than 20 countries.
From 1990 to the present, the manufacturing company of TM Polair has been manufacturing medium and low temperature refrigeration equipment for shops and catering establishments in accordance with environmental standards and European quality standards.
The main line of air conditioners
The Polair refrigeration split system is a type of climatic equipment for maintaining the set temperature in the refrigerator. These devices consist of two main functional units: the outdoor and indoor units, interconnected by copper pipes in thermal insulation and cable-conductor products (power and operational circuits).
Polair Refrigeration Classification
The company's activity is exclusively in the production of industrial air conditioners and refrigeration equipment. Domestic products Polair has high technical and economic indicators, reliable performance and long life.
According to the manufacturer’s information, Polair products are presented in the following samples:
- Monoblock systems (MM109S, MM111S, MM113S);
- Monoblocks backpack with a microchannel aluminum capacitor (MM111R, MB214R, MB109R);
- Monoblocks for ceiling (MM109 ST, MM113 ST, MM115 ST);
- Mid-temperature and low-temperature split system Polair Standard (SM109S, SM222S, SM342S);
- Split system Professionale with coupling connection (SM109P, SB216P, SM115P);
- Split systems with a microchannel capacitor (SM111M, SB109M, SM115M);
- Air coolers (AS201-1.5, AS202-2.8, AS311-4.5).
Split systems Polair Standard
Split system Standard is an industrial refrigeration unit operating in low and medium temperature modes. The main functional node of these devices is a powerful hermetic piston type compressor, the production of which is carried out in the territory of the best European concerns for the production of compressor equipment.
Dry nitrogen (R 404) is used as a refrigerant in the refrigeration equipment of the Standard class. Due to this, the temperature in the chamber can range from -50C (SM109S) to -180C (SB331S). Condensate is removed from the system using 1 m long drainage, which in the basic configuration comes with hermetically soldered from both ends.
Split systems Polair Professionale
Split systems from Polair company of this class are high-tech climate equipment in which special couplings are used to connect the unit output to the connecting tubes. Professional split systems are supplied with upgraded air coolers as standard, so that the efficiency of the system increases by 30%.
Distinctive specifications:
- Thanks to the use of special couplings, which contain a membrane that breaks only when the ends of the tubes are connected and the unit exits, a tight, closed-loop cold circuit is obtained.
- When using modern membrane couplings for connecting functional units, installation is performed without errors.
- Choosing a Professionale series will allow you to get high-tech equipment exclusively European production.
Split systems with microchannel capacitor
Unlike the previous 2 split systems, these devices in the basic configuration are equipped with a microchannel capacitor made of a special aluminum alloy. Thanks to the use of this technology, systems have the following technical characteristics:
Technical features of air conditioners with microchannel condenser:
- the dimensions of the heat exchanger are significantly reduced;
- the mass of the whole set is reduced;
- standard R404 refrigerant consumption is reduced from 25 to 30%;
- the lifetime of the microchannel capacitor is increased due to the inertness of the aluminum alloy to the air-water medium (does not corrode);
- Due to the smaller amount of refrigerant and correspondingly less load of the compressor unit, the device’s own energy consumption is significantly reduced.
Monoblocks
Monoblock Polaris - refrigeration equipment manufactured in accordance with GOST 23833-95 for operation in medium temperature (MM) and low temperature (MV) modes. These devices are capable of operating at ambient temperatures up to +400C. In the case of installation of HVAC equipment of this design on the street ("Winter Set"), the ambient temperature should not fall below -100WITH.
A distinctive feature of Polaris monoblocks is the optional ability to connect a remote control that allows you to control the system from a distance.

Instructions for the Polair control panel and air conditioners
Remote control for air conditioner (split systems) Polair is a remote unit for refrigeration equipment. Installation of the device can be carried out at a distance of up to 10 m from the refrigerator. According to the information contained in the instructions for air conditioners (passport) of this brand, the package includes:
- controller board;
- assembly and circuit diagrams;
- instruction manual for the refrigeration unit;
- Remote Control.
The main purpose of the buttons and programming the system are presented in the photo.
Also, the Polair equipment manual describes in detail how the air conditioner is installed and what difficulties exist during installation, operating modes of refrigeration equipment, maintenance procedures and technical regulations, as well as the frequency of filter cleaning. In addition to the foregoing, this document describes in detail the operation of the device’s self-diagnosis system, and also decrypts error codes.
Polair air conditioner error codes and malfunctions
Despite the fact that the split systems of the company are highly reliable, sooner or later it will be necessary to carry out medium or major repairs. If any malfunctions occur, the Polair diagnostic system will notify the service personnel using a special code, the decryption of which can be found below.
| Type of malfunction, external manifestation and additional symptoms | Probable cause | Remedies |
| The chiller operates in short cycles. The camera does not support a stable set temperature | The air circulation in the condenser fan is disturbed due to the small distance between the top of the machine and the ceiling of the room | Check the air access to the fan. Provide a clearance of at least 60 cm between the top of the machine and the ceiling of the room |
| Ambient temperature too high | Operate the machine at an ambient temperature of no higher than + 40 ° С | |
| The camera is too tight with food | When loading, ensure free air flow between food racks | |
| The chiller operates for a long time or continuously. In a cooled volume (hereinafter: chamber), a stably set temperature is not maintained | The evaporator is covered with a thick layer of ice. | Defrost the evaporator by reducing the time between defrosts |
| Door opening too often | Reduce the frequency of door opening | |
| Camera leakage | Check the door seal; if necessary, fix it. Check interpanel joints. Seal with gaps if there are gaps. | |
| Frequent loading of the camera with warm products | Exclude camera loading with hot and warm products. Reduce product turnover | |
| The chiller is not working, the “network” light is off | No power at key switch terminals | Check the condition of the terminal connections of the switch and, if necessary, tighten the screws on the terminals |
| Check the condition of the network cable and repair if necessary |

- Spare parts for air conditioning can be easily found in any market or in a specialized store with refrigeration equipment.
- Quick and easy setup of the system.
Negative reviews
- Bulky and unaesthetic air cooler housing.
- Unreliable magnetic starters that were mounted on earlier models.
- When installing a monoblock on the camera, it is necessary to take the safety factor (about 30%), because otherwise the compressor will fail after 3 months.
- In the basic configuration, the split systems are delivered without refrigerant.
- There is no remote control.
Based on the above information, the company's products have an ideal price-quality ratio and have good advantages for the use of equipment of this particular manufacturer. If you need higher quality, performance, and therefore cost, then it is better to pick up and buy imported equipment, such as Rivacold, Zanotti, or Technoblock, which are capable of cooling cameras with a volume of 650 cubic meters (SP marking).
