The class of air conditioners indicates the degree of modernization and the level of functionality. All air conditioners are divided into classes of premium, business and economy. Based only on the design, it is impossible to divide air conditioners into classes. Which depend on the quality of parts, assembly, energy consumption and the country of manufacture.
Energy classes
All electrical appliances sold in Europe are labeled with stickers indicating the class of energy conservation.
Most manufacturers produce class A air conditioners. And only the cheapest Asian models belong to class B.
For air conditioners, the concept of energy efficiency, expressed as a coefficient, has been introduced. Each class has a specific coefficient. So, for class A air conditioners, the energy efficiency coefficient of cooling is (EER) 3.2, and heating (COP) - 3.6.
Premium Air Conditioners
Premium air conditioners are made in Japan. These are the best appliances on the market. The most economical, the most hardy. They are created from the best materials and contain the latest technological developments. Such equipment is equipped with protection and self-diagnosis systems that immediately detect a problem and immediately respond to it. Sometimes even turning off the device. The design of this technique is sophisticated and sophisticated. And the service life is maximum. But their price is quite high. Premium air conditioners are manufactured by Mitsubishi, Daikin Corporation.
Business class air conditioners
Mid-range air conditioners are manufactured in European, Japanese and Korean plants. They are quite high quality, but not so expensive. Their service life is lower than that of premium equipment. Self-diagnosis and control are simplified, they work a little noisier and their design is simpler. Mid-range air conditioners are manufactured at Panasonic factories, Toshiba. Their price is more affordable.
Air conditioners economy class
Economy class air conditioners occupy the lowest price niche in the market. Which does not say at all about their poor quality. These are simple models of classic design from inexpensive materials. They are equipped with a minimum set of functions. Sometimes they do not even have the option of heating, but only cool the air. Economy class air conditioners make more noise. Their self-diagnosis system is primitive or completely absent. There is no mechanism for protecting against illiterate operation. Such equipment is produced in Korea and China.
