Features of Aeronik household air conditioners

The company itself is registered in Melbourne, Australia, where the head office, research center and marketing department are located. But, as often happens now, the production of air conditioners is delegated to another company.

For the assembly of household and semi-industrial split systems, the capacities of the concern's factories located in China are used. Gree. The agreement runs until 2020.

Gree is a well-known company in the climate control equipment market, now occupying first place in the world in terms of the number of units produced. In addition to products under its own brand, its factories assemble models of other well-known “brand” companies, for example Daikin.

Thus, the Chinese origin of Aeronik equipment, if it is produced at the facilities of the Gree concern, should not alarm the buyer. However, the signed agreement does not mean that air conditioners under the Australian brand cannot be produced elsewhere.

In this case, the issue of guaranteeing the quality of components and assembly remains open.

The equipment manufacturer is indicated in the certificate of conformity, which the seller must have for any household appliance powered by electricity

The five-character designation of wall-mounted split systems (for example, 07IL3 or 30HS1) encrypts the following data:

• first two numbers indicate the thermal power of the device in thousands of BTU/h - this is a standard unit of measurement for thermal installations;
• last three characters determine the model series.

Aeronik currently has three types of air conditioners.

Smile Series – models with index HS2 And HS3 They differ only in the colors of the inserts on the panel of the indoor unit.

The units of this series have the following characteristics and capabilities:

• energy efficiency class - A;
• comfortable sleep mode - reducing noise from the indoor unit by reducing the fan speed;
• reduced electricity consumption in standby mode (0.5 W);
• auto restart - automatic resumption of work after a power outage;
• “turbo” mode – short-term increase in performance;
• convenient display - LED screen, switchable if necessary;
• self-diagnosis - displaying an error code on the display or control panel.

We can say that the Smile series is basic for the rest, since all its capabilities are present in the other two lines.

The neutral design of the internal units of the “Smile” series split systems makes it easy to fit them into any room. This is an important property for placing devices in living rooms

In 2018, models of the “Super” series were released onto the market, which, in addition to changing the design indoor unit and control panel, have several more innovations:

• multi-stage filtration system - air-mechanical, carbon and ion filters;
• maintaining a temperature of 8°C in heating mode is a very convenient function for creating indoor conditions under which defrosting of an inactive water heating system will not occur;
• dehumidification mode - removing moisture from the air to the specified parameters;
• I feel mode - allows you to work using a thermometer integrated into the remote control, which allows you to achieve the desired temperature at its location.

Legend Series – the most equipped, but also more expensive models than the types of devices described earlier.

From a design standpoint, the Legend series is slightly different from the Smile series. The first thing that catches your eye is the different layout of the display with larger symbols

Legend series models have three varieties.

Devices with index IL1 differs from devices of the Smile type in the presence of the following qualities:

• energy efficiency class - A+;
• inverter motor;
• availability of convenient options - I feel functions similar to the “Super” series and temperature support up to 8°C;.
• volumetric air flow - slightly changes the structure of air movement in the room;
• hot start - in heating mode, blocks the cold air flow until the device warms up;
• presence of a multifilter;
• self-cleaning system with removal of excess moisture from the indoor unit;
• 24-hour timer - allows you to turn on the device according to a schedule;
• locking the remote control is a useful feature if there are children in the house;
• defrosting system - prevents the formation of ice near the heat exchanger.
• the ability to operate as “heating” at outdoor air temperatures down to -15°C.

Line of models IL2 differs from IL1 in a slightly worse energy efficiency class: “A”. Although it must be said that this difference is difficult to notice in practice.

But there is a more modern analogue of the ionic filter - Cold Plasma. But the main difference is, of course, the ability to remotely control the air conditioner via mobile devices due to WiFi access.

Line models released in 2018 IL3 characterized by a slightly different interface for working with Wi-Fi and an aluminum insert that changes the appearance of the panel of the indoor unit.

The appearance of external units for Aeronik systems is the same for all series. They differ only in size and weight

The basic parameters and production technology for all lines of Aeronik air conditioners are the same. Therefore, you need to carefully study the available options and choose a device from the series whose functions will really be in demand.

Thus, most consumers will not use Wi-Fi device control. Therefore, it makes no sense for them to take models with the IL2 or IL3 index, since they are 10-15% more expensive than IL1 split systems that are completely similar in basic parameters.

Rules installation of air conditioners Aeronik companies are common for splits of this type. Also typical are the mistakes made by users when choosing the power of devices.

It must be remembered that the value of the recommended (serviced) area is given for normal operating conditions. If the outside air temperature is too high or there is a significant influx from the outside, then it is necessary to choose a more productive device.

A detailed algorithm for calculating the power of a split system is presented in this article.
