Overview of manufacturer's commodity items: types, features
Company SAMSUNG produces split systems, consisting of two components, and multi-split systems with the ability to connect two or more indoor units of the same power to an outdoor module. The latter are more often used in semi-industrial or commercial premises with an area of up to 100 m².
Split systems
Splits have both the most commonly installed wall systems in apartments and devices with a different type of placement - ceiling, floor, window, and so on. All two-piece systems are available in both standard and inverter compressor series.
Wall mounted air conditioners
Wall splits of this brand have several lines, among which SAMSUNG inverter air conditioners of the BORACAY series attract special attention.
Their main advantage is their smart energy saving system, which provides up to 40% reduction in consumer electrical costs in operation and almost zero resource consumption in standby mode.
Devices of this series are reliably protected from voltage surges and do not generate noise during operation. Equipped with high-purity filters helps to retain up to 99% of harmful microorganisms and large fractions of dirt, pollen, animal hair. If you wish, you can cool the room in a matter of minutes by turning on the TURBO COOLING mode - the compressor fan starts to rotate rapidly, and the temperature drops faster.
A series of economical and quiet inverter air conditioners SAMSUNG MONTE BLACK is made in the style of minimalism - the body has a triangular streamlined shape in black. During sleep, the device maintains the most comfortable temperature and humidity level in the room, and a 5-stage filter with oxygen ions and hydrogen atoms absorbs all viruses, mold fungi and allergens from the air. Due to the special design of the housing cover of the air conditioner in the off state, the ingress of dirt is excluded. This series works for cooling even at + 15 ° С, and for heating at -10 ° С without a winter kit.
Not only inverter, but also conventional SAMSUNG air conditioners have a pleasant design and good performance. As an example, consider the MAX series in white tones, with a sky blue stripe in the middle of the case and an intuitive display.
These are simple devices of the most compact size with excellent performance and power consumption. A silver-coated filter prevents bacteria from spreading, the intelligent SMART SAVER system automatically adjusts the air conditioner to operate at a lower cost, and sleep control technology ensures ideal air conditions.
SAMSUNG wall split systems can be described as climate control devices available for the mass consumer that fulfill all the basic requirements for air conditioners of this type.
Cassette, duct, column, console and window air conditioners
The indoor unit of the split system can be placed on the floor, on the ceiling, under the ceiling (in a suspended structure), on the wall closer to the floor. The company also produces monoblocks placed in the window opening. All these air conditioning devices have their own operating parameters and functional features, presented in the table below.
| Air conditioner type | Location | Technical and functional features |
| Cassette | The indoor unit and the supplied communications are disguised in a false ceiling. Only the decorative distribution panel is visible from the outside. |
|
| Duct | The internal block and communications are hidden in a false mezzanine. |
|
| Floor (column) | The indoor unit is mounted on the floor. |
|
| Floor-ceiling (console) | The indoor unit is placed on the wall at a slight elevation from the floor or on the ceiling. |
|
| Window | The monoblock is placed in the window opening. |
|
It should be borne in mind that when installing a channel split system, it is necessary to sound and heat insulate the air ducts that carry air around the premises, otherwise condensation will collect on them, and the noise level will be high.
There are ceiling height restrictions for cassette players. They must be at least 3 meters. Otherwise, drafts will form.
A monoblock window is more suitable for small spaces. But even with all its equipment and thoughtfulness, today it will not be able to equal the technical characteristics of SAMSUNG air conditioners of other types. Its operation is noisier, and the energy consumption is quite high when considering a window air conditioner relative to wall splits.
Multi-split systems
The multi-unit system can be installed in homes and commercial premises with an area of 50 to 100 m².Indoor modules are capable of functioning in one mode (only heat or only cold), but at the same time have different parameters of the installations, that is, when cooling in different rooms, one can set the temperature to + 20 ° C, and in the other + 23 ° C. In multi-split systems, the functionality and technical characteristics of SAMSUNG air conditioners do not differ much from the same indicators of two-component splits.
Despite the fact that these headings do not have inverter technology, their electricity consumption is very low. The noise values of the indoor and outdoor modules do not exceed average values, and the low weight of the structure allows the installation of air conditioners easily and quickly.
Multi-stage filtration allows you to breathe air completely free of bacteria, viruses, fine fractions of wool, dust and pollen. Using the remote control, you can adjust the direction of the air flow, and using the built-in timer, the daily operation of the device is programmed. The dehumidification mode maintains a normal humidity level and the ventilation mode is activated independently of cooling or heating.
A distinctive feature in comparison with splits is power. All air conditioners of such systems have a much higher performance when working in cold and heat.
All devices of multi-split systems use a refrigerant that is safe for the ozone layer.
SAMSUNG DVM series multi-zone system
In the area of centralized air conditioning, SAMSUNG presents the latest multi-zone DVM system with a total capacity of all units up to 224 kW and a maximum length of a connecting line up to 220 m. The latest technology was used in this system.
Dual Inverter Compressors, Advanced Refrigerant Injection and Plate Heat Exchanger maximize energy savings, speed up temperatures and improve seasonal energy efficiency. Safe refrigerant reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
The corrosion-resistant heat exchanger, alternating compressor start and self-diagnosis mode protect the instruments from premature failure.
Various modes and functions provide a comfortable temperature and reliable operation: control of the outlet air temperature, quiet night mode, regulation of current and energy consumption, automatic snow removal, and so on.
Such a structure can consist of several dozen internal blocks of different types, connected by a common route with external ones. Control is carried out using both individual remote controls and a remote server. The adjustment of the modes of each device does not depend on the operation of other elements of the multi-zone system. The cost of maintaining DVM is comparatively less than the cost of stand-alone split systems and multi-split installations.
After DVM installation, it is always possible to connect additional elements if necessary.
Decoding of marking
Each manufacturer has its own marking for any series of devices, which consists of alphanumeric codes. HVAC equipment from different companies can have different codes.
SAMSUNG air conditioners currently do not have strict labeling rules, since the same letters can mean opposite meanings for devices of different years of manufacture and different series. Unfortunately, there are no uniform standards. Indoor units may have their own codes, while outdoor units have completely different codes.
If we consider the marking of air conditioners for 2014 using the example of the AR12HQSFAWK model, then the following rule applies here:
- AR - project code;
- 12 - energy efficiency, that is, power characteristics, which are guided by when selecting a device for a certain area;
- H - model range;
- Q - inverter / not inverter (inverter is usually designated S, V - for air conditioners of previous years);
- S - availability of VIRUS-DOCTOR technology;
- FA - series;
- WK - color.
For an ordinary user, all these letter codes are not needed, since it is difficult to understand them. This information is available from the manufacturer, authorized dealers and technical documentation. Also, any HVAC sales manager or professional installer must own it.
For a simple buyer, it is important to label SAMSUNG air conditioners in digital values. In the example being analyzed, 12 is the refrigerating capacity index, which is indicated in Btu / h. It must be multiplied by 0.3 to get the usual values in kW. It turns out that this model is capable of delivering up to 3.5 kW.
Operating instructions for air conditioners and remote controls
For each SAMSUNG air conditioning device, a separate operating manual is issued, which contains information about the device of both split system components, installation and use rules, a description of the settings for various modes and functions using the remote control and examples of possible device malfunctions.
For the user, the main interest is the sections on safety precautions, operating rules and mode settings. The air conditioner remote itself is easy to understand, and the bright on / off button helps you navigate faster. If an ordinary customer cannot immediately figure out how to control the air flow, how to set the dehumidification mode or how to turn on the heating of the SAMSUNG air conditioner using the remote control, then use the instructions.
To set the standard cooling and heating modes, several buttons are used: the bright POWER - to turn on the device, MODE - to select the mode, the down / up triangle keys - to adjust the values. Therefore, turning on the heating mode of the SAMSUNG air conditioner requires pressing only three buttons.
The air conditioner can be controlled not only from the remote control, but also using a special panel on the device itself.
There is a section in the instruction manual describing how to disassemble the air conditioner to clean the filtration system. The front panel cover opens easily - just pull on the hinges on the grille, and after all the manipulations to clean the air filters and fix them, the panel, washed with detergent, is put back, putting it on the hooks and pushing the hinges.
It is impossible to disassemble the SAMSUNG air conditioner on your own, like any other, in order to eliminate the malfunction problems. This is done only by professional repairmen.
Installation and repair
Any air conditioner, including SAMSUNG, is a complex technical device, so it is better to entrust its installation, disassembly and repair to qualified craftsmen.
First, in both cases, you will need special refrigeration tools and accessories. For example, refueling and refueling an air conditioner requires a filling cylinder and electronic scales, and a vacuum pump is needed to remove air and moisture from the mains and the room module. Detection of refrigerant leakage is performed by a leak detector, and in order to avoid blockage of the pipe and breakdown of the compressor, pipe benders for copper pipes are used.
In addition, the installation of air conditioners requires construction tools: rotary hammers of various capacities, screwdrivers, chasing chasers and other accessories. You will also need locksmith tools: a hammer, screwdrivers, hexagonal sets, pliers, side cutters, and so on. If you buy all this, then installing a SAMSUNG air conditioner with your own hands will be very expensive. It's easier to hire a team of professionals.
Secondly, any mistake during the installation or repair of the SAMSUNG air conditioner can lead to a complete failure of the device, as well as to problems with the power supply.
You should not try to install a SAMSUNG air conditioner with your own hands, as it is dangerous, and the costs of eliminating the consequences will exceed the prices for installation by a team of craftsmen.
Spare parts
If Samsung air conditioners fail with components such as a compressor, control board, contactor, high and low pressure sensors, thermostat, new parts may be needed for repair.
In most cases, the components of the main unit of the hydraulic circuit (compressor, 4-way valve, service ports) are universal for all manufacturers and can be easily selected relative to the power of the device.
Parts for air conditioners such as control boards, fan motors, body parts are ordered from an authorized service center. It should be remembered that each spare part has an individual code or code consisting of alphanumeric designations.
When the device is used without regular preventive maintenance, many of its components fail faster. First of all, this concerns such spare parts for SAMSUNG air conditioners, such as filters and a compressor.
Testimonials
SAMSUNG air conditioners have gained a stable position among the economy class climatic equipment and are gaining mostly positive reviews from customers. Users note that they:
- do well with basic cooling and heating functions;
- they dry the air well if humidity control is not required constantly, but from time to time;
- work quietly in any mode;
- filter the air well - there is no smell of dust;
- perfectly regulate temperature parameters in the "Night sleep" mode;
- have a decent design, especially modern models.
Among the shortcomings, users in their reviews of SAMSUNG air conditioners mentioned the lack of backlighting on the remote control and a too loud sound signal when changing operating modes. In some cases, the device may take a long time to "warm up", but this does not affect the quality of cooling.
We can say that in 90% of cases, reviews of SAMSUNG air conditioners are positive. These devices completely suit users in terms of price-performance ratio.
