When the climatic technology is selected correctly, it provides the set temperature parameters in the room. Most often it is + 18 ... +25 degrees at startup within the operating temperature range of the air conditioner.
Air conditioner operating temperature range
So, in the cooling mode, most models of air conditioners operate within the range of -5 ... + 15 to +43 degrees.
In heating mode -5 ... 0 to +21 degrees.
The wider the temperature range of the air conditioner, the higher the class of the device. The highest quality models can operate in the widest range of -5 ... + 43 degrees.
They are managed by special systems that significantly increase the cost.
The lower limit of the temperature range is wide enough. The temperature range of the air conditioner is wider in more expensive models containing additional sensors and safety assemblies.
If you intend to turn on the air conditioner for cooling at an outdoor temperature less than +15, you should carefully study the data on the operating temperature of the air conditioner. Such information is in the user manual or in the product catalog. Turning on the equipment at an unacceptable temperature leads to disruption of basic functions, icing, overload and, ultimately, breakdown of the air conditioner.
It is strongly not recommended to run unsuitable equipment at temperatures less than -5 degrees, since the quality of the refrigerant and oil in the compressor changes significantly.
Indoor unit temperature range
The air conditioner cools the temperature in the room to +18 degrees or more. The temperature is set using the remote control. The operating temperature of the air conditioner is set by the user depending on preferences. However, common sense should also be used here.
According to research, the optimum outlet temperature for an air conditioner should be 10 degrees below the outside temperature. Otherwise, people who are here may catch a cold. Trying to "squeeze" as much cold out of the air conditioner as possible, the user harms not only himself, but also the equipment.
Compressor service life is reduced.
Outdoor unit temperature range
Most air conditioners start at a temperature of +35 degrees. This mode of operating temperature of air conditioners is set by manufacturers. Modern models are equipped with overheating protection systems. Therefore, if it goes beyond the optimal temperature, the air conditioner stops automatically.
The most expensive models can operate up to +50 degrees (manufactured by Mitsubishi, Daikin).
The "heating" mode for most models is additional, used only during the off-season. Therefore, the lower limit of the operating temperature range of air conditioners is located at +5 .. + 10 degrees.
