Review of Artel air conditioners: error codes, comparison of floor-standing mobile models and wall-mounted

The Artel Production Association began its work in 2011. The company's central office is located in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The range of products - household appliances, mobile devices, vacuum cleaners, hoods, dishwashers. The company is also engaged in the production of HVAC equipment under the Artel brand - wall-mounted, floor-type air conditioners, monoblock devices.

Main lines of air conditioners and products

Specialists from Sansung and Midea took part in the development of the company's products. This made it possible to expand the range of climatic equipment - you can select and buy a model based on the technical parameters, appearance and design features. First, you need to familiarize yourself with the Artel product line - air conditioners must correspond to the design parameters of the serviced room.

Split air conditioning

The company has developed four series of split systems for wall installation - Montana, Gloria, Inverter and Shahrisabz. They differ in appearance and functional features. The advantage of the Montana series is the unique look of the indoor module. The black insert and small dimensions make it possible to fit it into any interior.

Split system Artel has the following qualities:

• rated power varies from 2.6 to 7 kW;
• the minimum permissible outdoor temperature is up to -7 ° С;
• the outdoor unit is equipped with South Korean-made compressors;
• safe refrigerant R-410A is used;
• there is an inverter model with economical power consumption;
• anti-corrosion coating of the body.

The air filtration system is standard, no special treatment blocks are provided. There is also no ionization function.

The front cover of the internal hinged module can be selected in white or cream shade. The price will not change from this.

Column conditioners

Column models have been developed for air conditioning large industrial or commercial premises. The advantage is a floor-standing installation, a small footprint, several operating modes. Column lines - Sherdor and Registon.

Design and operation features:

• the area of ​​the serviced premises with a standard ceiling height of 2.75 m - from 80 to 150 m²;
• you can choose an outdoor unit with two compressors, which will provide an optimal cooling rate;
• minimum installation requirements, the main indicators are an even base, there are no large obstacles in the path of the air flow;
• several zones of cooling and heating, distribution of flows throughout the volume of the room.

The advantage of columnar models is low noise level. This is true for many manufacturing and commercial processes.

Important - the installation of this type of Artel air conditioner should only be carried out by professionals. It is necessary to follow the connection rules, choose the best place in the room.

Mobile monoblocks

A unique development of the company is a monoblock without an outdoor module. This is important when it is impossible to install a full-fledged wall system. The compressor and the evaporator are located in one housing. The popular model is Doppio. In terms of its parameters, it is similar to Climer products.

A block-type air conditioner has the following qualities:

• cooling power - up to 2.8 kW;
• the ability to install on any wall of the room;
• there is a ventilation mode.

Disadvantages - the equipment does not work for heating and increased noise level. Ideal for isolated warehouses or industrial premises where the noise level is not important.

When choosing, another important characteristic is taken into account - the dimensions of the module. The dimensions of this model are 900 * 290 * 160 mm, which makes it possible to rationally use the volume of the room.

Comparison of characteristics of popular models

To analyze the characteristics of the selected models, a technical data sheet is required. It indicates the basic parameters of the equipment, installation and operation rules. Another quality is the appearance - it is recommended that you first familiarize yourself with the photo or look at the devices in the showroom.

The user manual contains the following technical information about climatic equipment:

• cooling and heating capacity, if the latter function is provided in the design;
• temperature modes of operation;
• overall dimensions are important for choosing an installation site;
• the area of ​​the serviced premises;
• power consumption;
• selling price.

Additionally, the presence of operating modes is taken into account - night, Turbo, timer. As an example, compare the parameters of three popular brand models.

Until recently, the company produced ceiling models. But due to low demand, their production was stopped. It is planned to develop and manufacture mobile climate control units.

Instructions for the control panel and air conditioners Artel

A remote control for the air conditioner is included in the kit for remote change of operating modes and temperature control. It has a standard design, the buttons are conveniently located for the user. The advantage of the design is the large and informative liquid crystal display.

The remote control is designed to perform the following actions:

• turning on / off equipment;
• changing the degree of heating or cooling of air;
• control of the position of the shutters of the indoor module;
• activation and deactivation of night mode, Turbo, timer programming;
• displays information about the results of self-diagnosis.

The remote device has a built-in backlight, but there is no temperature sensor. Mode icons are intuitive and easy to read.

The instructions for air conditioners contain information about the installation rules: the maximum permissible length of pipelines, the difference in height are indicated. This document contains a service schedule.

Artel air conditioner error codes

When failures or breakdowns occur, the system automatically generates certain error codes. They will help determine the cause of the problem, they can signal incorrect operation. There is no description of messages in the user manual - a specific error code is needed for a specialist who will carry out repairs.

The instructions indicate indirect signs of incorrect operation of the climate system and troubleshooting methods:

• Bad smell. The air filter has not been cleaned for a long time.
• Cold air does not flow after switching on. The system needs 3 minutes to self-diagnose.
• No power supply. The protective relay has tripped.
• Steam is generated at the blinds during operation. The reason is the sharp difference in air temperatures.

For normal operation, it is recommended to do a due diligence before each season. It includes checking the refrigerant level, piping integrity, cleaning the outdoor unit.

User reviews

The company's products have not yet received wide distribution, so reviews of work on the Web are rare. But based on the available information, one can draw conclusions about the acceptable build quality, reliability of work.

Pros:

• the ability to choose the optimal model;
• convenient remote control;
• modern design;
• subject to the rules of operation is reliable.

Disadvantages:

• a large indicator of electricity consumption;
• few inverter models;
• problems with finding components.

The manufacturer's climatic equipment can be classified as economy, which is reflected in the range of products. The quality is average, not inferior to analogs.
