The German company Hansa is a leading European manufacturer of household appliances. The range of its products includes built-in cookers, hobs, refrigerators, washing machines. Until recently, the production of Hansa air conditioners was launched. They are distinguished by their reliability, reasonable price and functionality.
Range of Hansa air conditioners
Conventionally, the company's line of HVAC equipment can be divided into two types - split systems and mobile air conditioners. They differ in power, operating modes, refrigerant used, and are designed for a specific volume of premises.
In most cases, they choose split models designed for permanent work in residential, commercial or industrial premises. The mobile air conditioner can be quickly moved to another room, apartment or house. However, due to the specifics of the design, the comfort of its use is lower than that of a stationary one.
Therefore, when choosing, you need to analyze the following factors:
- The overall size of the premises. The floor is designed for rooms no more than 15 m², split - up to 30 m².
- For mobile, in most cases, it is necessary to install a pipe to remove hot air to the street. In the split, this function is performed by the outdoor unit - the refrigerant is compressed and expanded in it.
- The noise level in mobile vehicles is much higher than that of stationary ones. This is due to the presence of a compressor in the structure.
Additionally, you need to consider how the price of one model differs from another. Since the company stopped producing air conditioners, they can only be found if there are stock leftovers or bought from private individuals. In the latter case, you need to carefully review the actual state of the model.
The advantage of Hans mobile air conditioners is the ability to heat the room, regardless of the temperature outside. In stationary models, not all models have such a function; it is limited by the minimum value of negative temperature.
Comparison of technical parameters
Before purchasing, it is necessary to study in detail the parameters of a specific model. The mobile version may differ significantly from the Hansa split system - the instructions indicate the differences. But for a complete analysis, all suitable models should be compared in terms of technical characteristics.
Main parameters of Hansa air conditioners:
- the size of the serviced area;
- equipment rated power;
- the presence of a heating mode, air filtration;
- the noise level should not exceed 38 dB;
- sizes;
- what settings does the remote control for the Hansa air conditioner have.
For example, you can compare two mobile models according to the above characteristics - the Hansa Hap 12y air conditioner and the Hansa Hap 09y air conditioner. The data are shown in the table below.
| Model | Power, W | Heating | Dehumidification | Air flow, m³ / min |
| Hap 12y | 3200 | + | + | 5,5 |
| Hap 09y | 2500 | + | + | 5 |
In fact, these are models of the same type, slightly differing in power. They have the same functionality. Reviews indicate a good quality of work, but there are several disadvantages - relatively large dimensions and noise level (up to 52 dB). This is due to the specifics of the design.
When buying a used Hansa air conditioner, you should carefully study its description, and then check the actual characteristics with the original ones.It is important to pay attention to the condition of the split indoor unit, run the device in test mode.
Features of installation and operation
It is recommended to entrust the installation of the climate system only to professionals. The exception is roaming models - you can customize them yourself. It is important to choose the right place for the installation of the indoor and outdoor units, to ensure the possibility of further maintenance and repair.
To keep the device in working order, you need to do the following:
- Cleaning the indoor unit. The power supply is turned off, the front decorative cover is dismantled, the treatment with rags with water.
- Air filter maintenance. To do this, it must be removed and washed in a solution of neutral detergent.
- Checking the condition of the batteries in the remote control. If their charge is critically small, the air conditioner can be controlled using the elements on the indoor unit.
For the last point, it should be borne in mind that the settings are not saved when the batteries are removed. They will need to be set manually. It is important to replace the refrigerant in a timely manner - during operation it slowly evaporates, thereby reducing the efficiency of cooling (heating).
The vast majority of Hansa air conditioners use R22 refrigerant. If the service crew does not have such a composition, it should be replaced with a similar one, or the coolant should be completely changed.
Errors and their elimination, instructions for the control panel
Incorrect operation of the climate system can be due to several reasons - untimely maintenance, violation of operating conditions or breakdown. In the latter case, it is necessary to call specialists for elimination. Previously, you can independently determine the errors and the cause of the malfunction by obvious signs.
It is important not to try to repair the air conditioner at home. Despite the fact that Hana products are of high quality and reliability, unprofessional intervention can worsen the situation.
Additionally, it is necessary to take into account the recommended operating conditions - the temperature regime outside, relative humidity, the absence of obstacles in the path of the air flow from the indoor unit.
