Climatic systems, and in particular the Daihatsu air conditioner, appeared on the Russian market relatively recently - in 2010. They belong to the economy class category, but at the same time they differ in quality and reliability. Manufacturer - factories Midea and KCL located in China. Before choosing, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the assortment.
Split systems (on / off)
Classic models are characterized by truly affordable prices and normal quality. Unlike other budget options, Daihatsu air conditioners in this category have good functionality, a wide range and an acceptable cost.
They are designed according to the traditional scheme - when the device is activated, the compressor starts. As soon as the temperature reaches the desired level, it is automatically turned off. The advantage is reliability, low probability of breakage. The disadvantage is the relatively high rate of electricity consumption compared to modern models.
Dakhatsu air conditioners are equipped with Toshiba compressors, which ensures long-term maintenance-free operation. It is important to carry out maintenance work on time. Scope - living quarters, small offices. It is not recommended to use them for production areas.
Series of air conditioners Dahatsu class (on / off):
- Classic. The size of the serviced area varies from 22 to 75 m². Despite the affordable cost, these devices have the function of cooling, heating, ventilation of rooms, there is a fine air filter. The most demanded air conditioners classic Daihatsu 12 for rooms up to 40 m² at 18,900 rubles.
- Premier. It differs from the above only in appearance with the same technical parameters. The cover of the indoor unit has a ribbed surface. The advantage is the ability to harmoniously fit the Premier air conditioner into the interior of a residential or office space.
- Prestige. A new series with a reduced noise level with the same performance. This figure for the indoor unit does not exceed 34 dB.
All models have an LCD remote control. A similar indicator is located on the indoor unit, hidden under a protective cover.
The minimum permissible outdoor temperature for the operation of Dahatsu air conditioners of this series is up to -7 ° С. Failure to comply with the operating conditions increases the likelihood of damage to the compressor and impeller as a result of icing.
Inverter air conditioners
Integration of an additional module for inverter split-systems of Dakhatsu air conditioners made it possible to achieve an expansion of the temperature range of operation, a lesser effect on voltage drops in the power grid. The external design of the indoor unit remained recognizable, which can be seen in the photo of a particular model.
In contrast to the “on / of” models, after reaching the required temperature level, the compressor operation is smoothly regulated depending on external factors - the mode, the effect of the ambient air. This ensures minimal energy consumption while maintaining comfort.
Operational features of Dahatsu air conditioners of this class by series:
- Premier... The minimum outdoor temperature is up to -15 ° C. Added airflow dehumidification function. For additional protection, there is an option to prevent icing of the outdoor unit in winter. With a nominal cooling rate of 3.2 kW, the power consumption does not exceed 1.1 kW.
- Silver. Differences from the Premier class - reduced noise indicators, changed the appearance.Added filters with vitamin C, which will have a positive effect on the general condition of people in the room.
- Prestige and Gold. Dahatsu air conditioners series planned for release. For the second version, Gold, a unique design of the indoor unit was developed. It contains gold-look inserts. The Prestige Series will be smaller while maintaining the same performance and performance.
It is noteworthy that Dakhatsu air conditioners are widely used not only in Russia, but throughout the rest of the world. Most of the buyers come from the Asian region. This is due to the good quality and range.
R410A refrigerant is used in air conditioners of this brand. It has optimal performance, but is incompatible with most other coolants. This must be taken into account when carrying out maintenance and filling the system.
Comparison of technical parameters and cost
The main technical parameters are indicated in the instructions, which can be found on the official Dahatsu website. But when choosing, it will be problematic to compare the models with each other in this way - you will need to combine the data on the parameters in a single table.
When choosing, you need to take into account the following technical and operational characteristics of the air conditioner:
- the area of the room, taking into account the standard height of the ceilings;
- rated power of cooling, heating, air flow rate in ventilation mode;
- the minimum indicator of the outside temperature for the air conditioner to work;
- additional functionality - air purification, ionization.
It is also necessary to study reviews on independent resources. Basically, they are positive, the exception is a negative opinion about work if the operating rules are not followed.
For a practical comparison, three common models can be taken - Daihatsu DHP 09h, Daihatsu DH-07h and Daihatsu DH-24h. Data on their characteristics are presented in the table below.
| Model | Cooling capacity, kW | Noise level, dB | Room area, m2 | Cost, p. |
| Daihatsu DHP 09h | 2,64 | 42 | 30 | 14650 |
| Daihatsu DH-07h | 2,2 | 41 | 22 | 13650 |
| Daihatsu DH-24h | 7 | 48 | 75 | 37800 |
All other parameters and functionality are similar.
