The indicator shows not only the current temperature and time values, but also the defrosting status of the outdoor module.

No major shortcomings were noticed, only minor ones: there are no mounting compensating rubber bands under the “feet” of the outdoor unit; when changing modes or turning on, you can hear faint clicks of the relay.

Place #2 - Kentatsu KSGB26HFAN1/KSRB26HFAN1

Easy to operate, relatively inexpensive air conditioner BRAVO series, which recently appeared on the market and has already become in demand. Despite the Chinese assembly, the compressor is made in Japan. The body length is only 71.5 cm, which is less than that of expensive models and can be useful if the installation area is limited.

Recommendations for choosing a Kentatsu model

To learn more about the series or individual models, you must study the technical documentation before purchasing, as well as carefully examine and compare the internal modules.

The alphanumeric designations of the models carry a lot of information. We offer a decoding that may be useful when choosing home appliances (1 is the first position in the model name, 2 is the second, etc.).

Models of each series differ in power, performance and energy consumption. If you fundamentally like the design of the wall-mounted unit, you can select the power according to the area of ​​the room

Meaning of symbols in marking:

• K – Kentatsu, brand name;
• S – split system, type of equipment;
• G – wall-mounted unit, type of indoor unit; R— air-cooled, type of outdoor unit;
• T, Q, X etc. – series, determined by the first letter;
• A – modification (not for everyone);
• 26, 35 etc. – productivity multiplied by 10; digital index;
• N – cooling/heating, thermal mode;
• F – standard compressor operation; Z – inverter; D – proportional;
• A – R410A, refrigerant;
• N1 – single-phase voltage 220–240 V, 50 Hz, energy source;
• –N – design features (not for all).

For multi-systems, ventilation units, chillers And fan coil units, that is, for other types of air conditioners, the set of letter characters is different.

When choosing a model, you should evaluate such parameters as:

• power/performance, adjustable;
• energy efficiency class;
• noise indicator;
• design features - the presence of an inverter, an additional filter, side lighting, etc.;
• degree of filtration;
• availability of automated modes;
• ways to manage and control work.

Dimensions are also important, especially if the installation area of ​​the indoor unit is limited. As a rule, installation is carried out near the outer wall to reduce the distance to the external module.

If there is enough space, the dimensions of the wall unit can be ignored, but the color of the front panel and additional lighting options remain important

The approximate suitability of an air conditioner for a certain area can be determined by its performance. Detailed information on calculating the power of a split system is presented in this article.

Models of the Kentatsu brand have a “marker” in their names - a hint - a digital designation.The number 21 indicates that the device is designed to work in a 15-20-meter room, 26 - 25-30 meters, 35 - 33-35 meters, respectively.

What else to pay attention to:

Technical features such as weight do not play a big role in the choice; the main thing is to take into account the load-bearing capacity of the wall or partition. Typically, indoor wall modules are hung on the included mounting brackets, while outdoor ones are installed on universal brackets.
