The main range of air conditioners
Based on the information provided on the official website of the Forte Klima group, the company produces household, semi-industrial and industrial climatic equipment of the following type:
- split systems (Akvilon NC-7, making Oasis everywhere CL-7, Zerten BL-9, etc.);
- inverter split systems (EL-9, EL-12, model EL-18);
- duct Oasis air conditioners (PL-18M, PL-24M, PL-60M);
- semi-industrial cassette devices (PK-18M, PK-60M, PK-36M);
- floor-ceiling systems (PN-18M, PN-60M, PN-36M, etc.).
Wall-mounted household split systems
This type of climatic equipment is considered the most popular, since the demand in this particular market segment is only rapidly gaining momentum every year.
Air conditioning, operation in "warm" mode or ventilation of air in the room using the Oasis split system is traditionally performed using 2 units: outdoor and indoor. The first of them, in which a high-performance compressor is located, is located on the facade of the building, and the other is at any point in the serviced room.
Since Oasis air conditioners belong to the budget segment of HVAC equipment, there is no need to count on multifunctionality. However, the air conditioner copes with basic functions such as heating, air conditioning and ventilation on a solid 5. As for additional features, here you can find:
- turbo mode for more efficient system operation;
- night mode "Sleep", due to which the performance and noise level of the air conditioner is reduced;
- automatic function of diagnostics of split-system malfunctions;
- timer on / off climatic equipment in accordance with the specified parameters.
Split systems Akvilon
One of the most popular lines of Oasis air conditioners is the Akvilon series. It works on the safe refrigerant R410A, and effectively copes with the task, creating comfort in rooms with an area of 20 m2 (Akvilon NC-7 with 2.051 kW in cooling mode and 2.198 kW in heating mode) up to 82 m2 (Akvilon NC-28 with 8.2 kW in cooling mode and 8.5 kW in heating mode). Also, this model of equipment has gained such high popularity, due to the fact that the cost of the split system is 13,999 rubles.
If we consider the class of energy efficiency, then these air conditioners belong to category "A" in accordance with international standards and metrology.
Inverter split systems making oasis everywhere
Oasis inverter systems, in contrast to standard split systems, allow you to smoothly regulate the speed of rotation of the compressor electric motor by converting an alternating voltage to a constant voltage. Thanks to this function, during the operation of the system, there are no current surges, which increase the power consumption of the system by several times.
If we consider the functionality, then there are no differences from the above system.

Duct air conditioners Oasis
If necessary, cool or heat rather large objects with an area of up to 180 m2 (shopping centers, conference rooms, restaurants, etc.), which standard wall-mounted split systems cannot cope with, experts recommend installing this climatic equipment.
Ducted air conditioners "making oasis everywhere" can be easily mounted under a false ceiling and fully integrated into a centralized ventilation and air conditioning network.
To control channel-type air conditioners, a wired control panel is installed, which allows:
- turn on the self-diagnosis system;
- program the operation of the duct air conditioner for heating, dehumidification, cooling or ventilation of a given room;
- start the "defrost" function of the outdoor unit;
- set the temperature regime at the controlled object.
Cassette air conditioners
Oasis cassette air conditioners are ideal for any semi-industrial premises. They are installed in a false ceiling and are able to evenly distribute the cooled air in all directions.
In terms of design, cassette air conditioners, like most climate systems, consist of an outdoor unit located outside the room and an indoor unit that is built into any ceiling. Also, the manufacturer of this equipment took care of the attractiveness of these devices, since in the basic configuration they are supplied with special decorative Euro panels for the indoor unit.
The control panel is used to adjust the system's operability, which is universal and suitable for any Oasis climatic equipment.
Instructions for Oasis control panel and air conditioners
To control any Oasis split system, you need a remote control for the air conditioner. With this device you can:
- turn on the ventilation / air conditioning or space heating mode;
- set the temperature level in the room;
- program the timer on and off the Oasis air conditioner;
- set the direction of the rotary louvers for uniform distribution of air masses, etc.
The instructions for Oasis air conditioners will tell you in more detail about the functional purpose of various buttons.
Oasis air conditioner error codes
Regardless of the quality of the climatic equipment, if the maintenance and repair regulations are not followed, these air conditioners may fail. This may be due to:
- freon leak;
- k.z. in the compressor winding;
- failure of the control board;
- freezing of the heat exchanger;
- clogging the drainage system, etc.
For any of the above reasons, the air conditioner self-diagnosis system will inform about the presence of a malfunction using an alphanumeric code on the display (indicator). To decipher the nature of the malfunction and the method of its elimination, you must familiarize yourself with the section "air conditioner error codes" in the instructions (manual) of the manufacturer, which is presented above.

One-room apartment - hall 24 square. I took the CL-12 model Oasis CL series. Max. area up to 35 sq., it turns out a good stock. I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong that I overpaid, and I had to take the CL-9, but at the time of purchase the difference was not very high, there was a discount on the 12th model.
What I like about oasis air conditioners is its simplicity. No unnecessary bells and whistles, for which in fact you have to overpay. The main thing is to correctly calculate the quadrature of the refrigerated room and take it with a small margin. Then it will work smoothly and without interruption. That year it was a very hot summer, my air conditioner turned on in June, and turned off at the end of August. He worked with rare stops. I set 24 degrees in the room so that there was no strong difference. Consider 2 months of continuous operation, and at least he has something.
Recently, an old air conditioner broke down, my wife and I thought about it and decided that it would be better to overpay a little, but we will buy a split - it is still more comfortable. We chose Oasis, we were still in doubt when buying (the price seemed strangely low), but we do not regret it. The air temperature is maintained in a comfortable state, it can be adjusted from the remote control (you do not need to get up from the sofa), the air is not dry, it does not smell like chemistry. I really liked the fact that electricity eats quite a bit, they were afraid that there would be problems with this
Recently, we purchased Oasis cassette air conditioners for the office, and for the second week it has been working reliably. Cooling is excellent, the temperature is kept at the set level (+ 22 ... + 24 degrees), the energy consumption indicators have increased minimally. The installation did not cause any problems, the comrades from Forte Klima put everything they needed in boxes, the installers did not buy anything extra. The set includes decorative grilles, so that the equipment did not spoil the appearance of our office in any way. The cost is also quite acceptable, for the purchase of a large batch, we also received a discount from the supplier, so it turned out to be cheap at all. Recommended.
