Split systems Rapid: popular models of climatic equipment and recommendations for customers

The main functions of the split system

The functionality of the air conditioner, again, does not claim to be unique in comparison with the functionality of many other machines of a similar class.

The main functionality of the air conditioner, displayed on the front panel of the indoor module: 1 - "heating" mode; 2 - "cooling" mode; 3 - digital indicator of the set (declared) temperature; 4 – power indicator; 5 - "drying" mode; 6 - remote control receiver

However, from the functionality that the machine has, the end user has enough resources to ensure the comfort of the atmosphere in a private house or apartment.

Cooling, heating and dehumidification

The main function is air cooling, accompanied by the classic ability to set the required temperature inside the room and the split system will ensure the task is completed in a short time.

However, the user is also required to fulfill an important condition - to create a tightness mode from the external environment. Being a fairly functional system, Rapid RAC 07HJ N11, in addition to the cooling mode, allows heating the room air if necessary.

Usually this function is used in the cold period of time.

Being a fairly functional system, Rapid RAC 07HJ N11, in addition to the cooling mode, allows heating the room air if necessary. Usually this function is used in the cold period of time.

Meanwhile, in winter, the heating operation is possible to start the split system only if the window is not lower than -15°C.

The sequence of functions of the split system (in general terms), displayed on the control display of the remote control. Based on the operating mode selected by the user and set, the specific function is displayed

The dehumidification function is designed to maintain an optimal level of humidity in the treated air. At the same time, automatic temperature control allows a deviation from the set value by 2 ° C in any direction.

Neutral operation function and others

Among the set of functions of the model under consideration, one can also note the mode of a kind of “neutral” operation. That is, when the split system acts like a conventional fan, circulating the air.

However, in this case, the circulation is characterized by the fact that due to the presence of active filters in the structure, the air passing through the split system is additionally purified.

Despite the budget performance of the equipment, the functionality of the device in terms of air filtration is quite high. The presence of a deodorizing filter, as well as due to the action of an anion generator, the air flow is effectively cleaned.

To maintain the effectiveness of the filters, regular maintenance of the split is required - cleaning the filters. At the same time, the quality of deodorization deteriorates with each cleaning. Ultimately, the user will have to change the filter elements, instead buying new ones.

Remote control "Rapida" of the described model: 1 - on / off button; 2 – mode selection; 3, 4 - temperature adjustment; 5 - fan; 6 - the position of the blinds; 7 - hours; 8, 11 - timer; 9 - purge of the evaporator; 10 - default temperature; 12 - "turbo" mode; 13 - "night" mode; 14 - display backlight

The set of functionality of the machine is complemented by several practical options:

• night mode;
• increased power mode - "turbo";
• evaporator purge;
• timer connection;
• illumination of the display of the internal module;
• self-diagnosis of system defects;
• connection of the defrost mode of the evaporator.

All these functions are available for control directly from the user console. Through which the parameters of the boundary temperature are also set, the current time is set, the position of the blinds is set, etc.

The complete set of functionality is described in detail by the user manual included in the package.

Number 5: TCL Factory

TCL supplies the lion's share of budget air conditioners for Russian brands, which are popularly called "lizhby worked". But do not immediately scold the plant, as it also includes both budget and premium lines.But unfortunately, Russian companies do not supply air conditioners of a better assembly from the TCL plant. Split systems from this plant can be seen in retail chains and large household appliances stores (because they are brought there as the cheapest). If you still decide to buy equipment from this plant, then be sure to buy with a power reserve.

What air conditioners does the factory produce TCL?

1. Denko
2. Timberk
3. Dantex
4. Ballu
5. Hyundai
6. School
7. Faura
8. Rapid
9. Hoapp

This concludes our rating of air conditioner factories in China. Of course, these are not all the factories that are in China, this is not so, there are a lot of them. We have analyzed the key, popular and better ones. There is simply no point in listing everything, if your air conditioner is not produced at any of these factories, then its quality is worth thinking about.

Basic and additional modes of operation

The next nuance that must be discussed before buying is the definition of the list of necessary modes. The fact is that in addition to the main function - cooling the air in the room - the air conditioner can perform other tasks.

The most expensive multifunctional units are capable of operating in 5 modes:

• cooling;
• heating;
• moisturizing;
• drainage;
• ventilation.

Cooling is the main function present in all devices without exception. Thanks to it, the temperature in the air is reduced to the specified settings, and then maintained at the same level.

According to the laws of physics, the cooled air smoothly descends, mixing with warmer air, and the heated air rises. For this reason, wall modules are installed at the top of the wall, almost under the ceiling.

Heating is an additional function, and for most models it only works in a certain range.

When the outdoor temperature drops below the critical point - from -5 ° C to -15 ° C, depending on the manufacturer's standards - the device turns off the air heating.

The shutdown is due to the characteristics of the compressor device - for example, changes in the properties of the oil. In this regard, it is better to use the heating function in autumn / spring, when it is already cool outside, and the heating has not yet been connected

The functions of dehumidification and humidification are not available to all models, so we also advise you to ask about these features in advance. Most often, the air in living rooms is dry, so it would be much more advisable to buy a special device - a humidifier. It operates on a different principle and treats the human respiratory system more carefully.

But many devices have a ventilation function. It creates circulation, helps to evenly distribute air throughout the room. As a result, warm air is mixed with cold air, which is more beneficial for the health of the occupants.

Versatility is good, but experimenting with modes is not for everyone, so check with your doctor before buying a multifunctional device.

Advantages and disadvantages of split systems

Compared to conventional climate control equipment, a split system has a number of undeniable advantages:

• Possibility of maintaining the temperature within the specified range;
• Creation of a comfortable microclimate;
• Reducing the level of electricity consumed. Experts testify to the possibility of reducing costs by 30%;
• Reducing the level of noise generated by climate control equipment;
• Operation in frost;
• Ease of management. Maintenance of split systems does not cause any particular difficulties.

The disadvantages include the high cost compared to conventional air conditioning. Sometimes the price may differ by 1.5÷2 times. In addition, devices are sensitive to power surges. If the equipment is connected without a voltage stabilizer, there is a high probability of its premature failure.

Maintaining the temperature within a given range is not difficult at all

Rapid RAC-07HJ/N1 Main Competitors

The competition in the split system market is very high and applies not only to products manufactured by Rapid, but also to any other representative of the commercial market.

1. Ballu is a development of BSE-07HN1.
2. TCL is a development of TAC-07HRA/E1.
3. Hisense - Development of AS-07HR4SYDTG.

All three devices actually represent a similar configuration in terms of design and functionality.

However, the main advantage of the Rapid system in the struggle for the consumer is the price. The average price tag of the commercial market for the review model "Rapida" does not rise in numbers above 9999 rubles.

Competitor #1 - Ballu BSE-07HN1

Competitor's device, similar in class and functionality to the model under consideration. Compared to Rapid, the Ballu brand air conditioner is more expensive on the market. Its performance is 2100 W / 2200 W when working for cooling and heating, respectively.

A similar model from Ballu is quite capable of captivating the consumer with some rather exotic nuances. For example, the presence of an additional filter of the indoor unit, the execution of which involves the use of vitamin "C".

The Ballu BSE-07HN1 air conditioner is also distinguished by a slightly denser air flow on the indoor module - 7.7 m3.Otherwise, the design of the split system is completely identical technically, with the exception of a slightly modified design.

Competitor #2 - TCL TAC-07HRA/E1

Another competitor of the Latvian car is the Chinese split system, manufactured under the TCL brand. This device, with operating parameters somewhat underestimated compared to Rapid, costs almost twice as much.

Compared to this competitor, the difference in price is on average about 3-5 thousand rubles, which is seen as a significant moment for the average consumer.

In addition, comparing the TAC-07HRA / E1 model from TCL, it should be noted: at a cost of about 15 thousand rubles, this air conditioner supports the maintenance of a smaller area - 20 m2 versus 21 m2 for Rapid.

Competitor #3 - Hisense AS-07HR4SYDTG

Another "opponent" of Rapid is a design created by Hisense engineers. It has, in fact, identical characteristics, and in some positions it clearly loses.

The offer of a similar performance from Hisense at a price choice moves the potential consumer even further - the difference reaches 7,000 rubles.

The design of Hisense AS-07HR4SYDTG, as well as TCL, is capable of covering no more than 20 sq.m. working areas. Plus, the noise level of the indoor unit is significantly higher (38 dB) than the Rapid indoor unit emits. True, there is a unique addition in the form of a plasma filter.

Number 2: Midea Factory

The main competitor and the largest supplier of climate equipment in the world is the Midea plant. For several decades now, the struggle between Midea and Gree has evoked only positive emotions and pride. After all, each plant is trying to give its customers something new, and thus progress does not stand still.Today Midea is engaged in the production of not only climate control equipment, but also produces both small and large household appliances. Due to its production capacity, the Midea plant exports millions of air conditioners to South and Central America. Midea employs over 120,000 people worldwide and has several research, manufacturing and engineering centers. Own base of exclusive patents, including TOSHIBA-GMCC compressor. The production of GMCC compressor (better known as TOSHIBA) is the largest in China and the world. Thus, the Midea plant supplies other well-known brands with its compressors, including LG, Hisense, Samsung and others. It should be noted that an incredibly large number of brands are produced at the Midea plant, from small foreign ones to large Russian ones.

Selection Guide

All split systems are designed to serve a certain area. During the acquisition process, this point must be taken into account. For large rooms, it is desirable to take modules with good working power and high air flow intensity. Such devices will create the most comfortable climatic conditions in every corner.

For small apartments and studios, a too strong unit is not necessary. It will consume excess electricity, and this will inevitably lead to an increase in utility bills. It is better to purchase a unit with average parameters. He will clearly fulfill the tasks set and will not become a burden on the family budget.

We talked about how to correctly calculate the power of a split system in this material.

Modern split systems are controlled by a special remote control with ergonomic buttons and a liquid crystal display.In some devices, it is possible to control the operation through an Internet application. This is convenient, but the receiver for the signal almost always has to be bought separately.

Advanced inverter-type systems will cost more than units with a standard motor, but will please you with quieter operation and high energy efficiency (classes from A to A ++). True, the savings in energy consumption will be really noticeable only in the maintenance of large-sized premises. In small living spaces, this moment will be almost imperceptible.

We also recommend reading our other article, where we talked about the principles of operation of inverter and conventional split systems, and also outlined their pros and cons. More details - read on.

The noise level of operation is an important parameter, especially for customers living in small-sized rooms with thin walls. Such people should consider buying quiet models that will not interfere with either residents or neighbors. The same rules are relevant for equipment intended for installation in a bedroom or nursery.
