Mobile floor air conditioners Lentel

Lentel climate technology is a trademark of the Lenta supermarket chain. The division offers convectors, fan heaters, electric kettles and other household appliances. The goods were ordered from Chinese manufacturers, the main requirement is quality and affordable cost. Until 2016 it was possible to buy a mobile air conditioner of this brand. Sales are currently on hold.

Main lines of air conditioners and products

The company's specialization is only mobile climate technology. The split system was not designed or manufactured. There is no information about the expansion of the assortment yet; in the future, with an increase in demand for this type of equipment, it is possible to introduce a new line of products.

Overview of portable climate systems:

• GLAC001N. The flagship model, which differs from its analogues by its unique design and good functionality. Features of the appearance of the mobile device - the rounded shape of the case, the large size of the air duct lattice, convenient indication of the current modes on the LCD display. Cooling area up to 14 m².
• B1-07. This floor cooler takes the middle position in terms of functionality and ease of use. Differences - a convenient carrying handle, gray body, informative control panel. The disadvantages include a small area of ​​working blinds.
• YPO 07C. The portable unit is designed for cooling and heating living rooms. Unlike the above-described model, there are three operating modes, a timer for 24 hours, an improved condensate evaporation unit. It is characterized by more strict forms, LCD display and control buttons are located above the grille. Designed to serve premises ranging from 10 to 14 m².

Each Lentel mobile air conditioner was equipped with a convenient control panel, a corrugated plastic pipe with a diameter of 110 mm for hot air removal. The products were sold only in the Lenta supermarket chain. Applications for repair and maintenance were also accepted there.

The disadvantage of these models is the high noise level. At maximum power, it can reach 46 dB. Activation at night or while sleeping is not recommended. Unlike wall-mounted models, the floor-standing air conditioner Lentel does not have a night mode of operation.

Comparison of characteristics of popular models

The main advantage of this climatic equipment is that the air conditioner can be installed independently. It is necessary to ensure the outlet of hot air to the street or to the ventilation duct of the house, if technical conditions allow it. In addition, technical characteristics and performance should be taken into account.

Basic selection parameters:

• Rated power of cooling and heating. All devices of this company are designed to service premises up to 14 m². In practice, it is recommended to install in rooms up to 12 m².
• Dimensions. Lentel mobile air conditioner has large dimensions - 300 * 756 * 352 mm. It is necessary to select in advance the place of its installation, taking into account the length of the branch pipe for the removal of hot air.
• Remote control. With this option, you can switch between operating modes from a distance. It is important that there are no obstacles between the device and the remote control.
• Service. The basic parameter is the filling rate of the condensate pan in relation to the cooling intensity. Some models are equipped with an evaporator to make this process slower.

Due to the long absence of HVAC equipment from this manufacturer, it is difficult to find up-to-date instructions for sale.The table shows the available information on the technical parameters of the models.

For these models the last price is indicated, which was in the stores of the Lenta chain. Currently, only used HVAC equipment from this manufacturer is on sale.

Advantages - the use of modern refrigerant R-410A. It circulates in a closed system, but even if the line breaks down and depressurises, it will not harm others and the environment. Although refueling and pipe cleaning should only be done by specialists.

Instructions for Lentel control panel and air conditioners

The content of the user manual is standard - it describes the maintenance rules, recommendations for installation and the choice of operating modes. A separate part is devoted to remote control of the system. The equipment comes with a standard remote control for the air conditioner. The operating range is up to 6 meters.

Features of using the remote control:

• the ability to turn on and off the monoblock;
• changing the cooling or heating capacity;
• timer activation, but not for all models;
• display on the LCD display of the current performance indicators.

The disadvantages of the remote control device include the lack of a built-in temperature sensor and backlight. But given the price category, this is normal. Alternatively, you can consider the option of purchasing a universal remote control, with which you can control not only the climatic monoblock, but also other household appliances.

You can also highlight the basic rules of service:

• Cleaning and replacing the air filter. You can do it yourself.
• Filling with refrigerant. Due to the lack of connection nodes to the line, special couplings are needed. This work is done only by specialized specialists.
• Heat exchanger and evaporator maintenance. They are located in the case and to access them you need to completely disassemble the candy bar.

The instructions for air conditioners contain only general recommendations for maintenance. If you identify significant problems in work or breakdowns, you need to contact a specialist.

Lentel air conditioner error codes

During operation, breakdowns and failures are not excluded. When they appear, error codes are displayed on the LCD display. However, their decoding is missing, they are only necessary for the master so that he can determine the cause of the malfunctions.

Monoblocks malfunctions are most often caused by such factors:

• Dust and dirt entering through the air intake slots. They are located at the bottom of the block.
• Wet air circulation. May cause rapid failure of moving parts.
• Discharge of hot air is difficult. The consequence is overheating of system components.

To minimize these phenomena, it is recommended to do comprehensive prophylaxis at least once a year.

User reviews

Most of the opinions of consumers indicate the affordable cost and acceptable indicators of the reliability of the models. Some reviews describe the discrepancy between the declared and actual characteristics, in particular, the maximum area of ​​the serviced room. In fact, effective cooling is only possible for rooms no larger than 12 m².

Benefits:

• acceptable price category;
• no professional installation required;
• mobility.

Disadvantages:

• relatively fast wear;
• labor intensity of service;
• large candy bar.

It can be concluded that the HVAC equipment of this manufacturer belongs to the economy category. This is the reason for the above disadvantages, but the affordable price neutralizes them.
