When the climatic equipment is selected correctly, it provides the set temperature parameters in the room. Most often it’s + 18 ... +25 degrees when launched within the range of operating temperatures of the air conditioner.
Air conditioner operating temperature range
For operation, it is necessary to provide a certain temperature regime, called the range of operating temperatures of the air conditioner.
So, in cooling mode, most models of air conditioners operate within -5 ... + 15 to +43 degrees.
In heating mode -5 ... 0 to +21 degrees.
The wider the temperature range of the air conditioner, the higher the class of the appliance. The highest quality models can work in the widest range of -5 ... + 43 degrees.
Their management is carried out by special systems that significantly increase the cost.
The lower limit of the temperature range is wide enough. The temperature range of the air conditioner is wider on more expensive models containing additional sensors and safety assemblies.
If you plan to turn on the air conditioner for cooling when the temperature outside is less than +15, you should carefully study the data on the temperature of the air conditioner. Such information is in the user manual or in the product catalog. Turning on the equipment at an unacceptable temperature leads to a violation of the basic functions, icing, overloading and, ultimately, damage to the air conditioner.
It is strongly not recommended to start unsuitable equipment at a temperature of less than -5 degrees, since the quality of the refrigerant and oil in the compressor varies significantly.
Indoor Unit Temperature Range
The air conditioner cools the temperature in the room to +18 degrees or more. The temperature is set using the remote control. The operating temperature of the air conditioner is set by the user depending on preferences. However, common sense should be guided here.
According to studies, the optimal temperature of the outlet air conditioner should be 10 degrees below the outside temperature. Otherwise, people here can catch a cold. Trying to “squeeze” as much cold as possible from the air conditioner, the user harms not only himself, but also the equipment.
Compressor life is reduced.
Temperature range for outdoor unit
Most air conditioners to "cold" start at a temperature of +35 degrees. This mode of operating temperature for air conditioners is set by manufacturers. Modern models are equipped with overheating protection systems. Therefore, when going beyond the optimum temperature, the air conditioner stops automatically.
The most expensive models can work up to +50 degrees (produced by Mitsubishi, Daikin).
The "heating" mode for most models is optional, used only during the off-season. Therefore, the lower limit of the operating temperature range of air conditioners is located at around +5 .. + 10 degrees.
