The PANASONIC trademark embodies the best ideas for life in air conditioners for domestic, semi-industrial and industrial purposes, which have high build quality, versatility, excellent performance and thoughtful design.
Creating universal climatic equipment, the manufacturing company uses advanced technical and engineering solutions, which accordingly makes it in demand in the technology market.
Split system PANASONIC
The two-component PANASONIC systems are represented by both inverter air conditioners and conventional ones. They can be installed in residential premises and office buildings or small shops.
Wall conditioners
The model range of wall splits consists of several lines in a variety of sizes. The main interest is the PANASONIC CS-series of air conditioners, which includes models with standard and inverter control of the compressor.
Non-inverter appliances, such as STANDART and DELUXE, are simple climate technology with the necessary set of functions for air conditioning. There is nothing superfluous in it. To the standard modes "cold" and "heat" are added:
- automatic mode switching;
- humidity control;
- the ability to control the air flow;
- timer for 12 hours;
- antibacterial filter and ion cleaning system.
In addition, the front panel for washing can be easily removed from the indoor unit. There is enough power for cooling and heating residential premises. Their work is almost silent, since the maximum values of the sound level do not exceed 30 dB, and the minimum is only 22 dB.
The PANASONIC INVERTER CS series air conditioners have the following distinctive features:
- work in a more economical mode of energy consumption;
- accelerated exit to preset temperature values;
- more precise control of the set parameters.
The motion sensor allows you to create favorable conditions at the point in the room where the person is moving. By pressing a single button, you can switch the PANASONIC INVERTER air conditioner to silent mode and reduce sound by 2-3 dB. So that at the beginning of work there is no unpleasant smell of plastic mixed with dust, the function of eliminating it is activated. Before the fan starts, bacteria will be destroyed inside the unit, which are the source of “aromas”. The “hot start” function allows you to quickly warm up the room and heat up the heat exchanger of the inverter’s internal module.
The protective anti-corrosion coating of the condenser will increase the operating life, and the presence of the PANASONIC INVERTER self-diagnosis makes this type of air conditioners more reliable, preventing serious damage.
Also, PANASONIC air conditioners in some models of the CS series have an increased track length. This gives exceptional opportunities for the placement of an external module. And a charcoal filter with a deodorizing effect absorbs not only dust, tobacco smoke and unpleasant odors, but also traps animal hair.
Such a filter is changed every three years. During operation, it must be cleaned at least a couple of times per season, and to restore deodorizing properties, it is placed under sunlight for half a day.
As for the prices of the PANASONIC CS series of air conditioners, there are many options. Simple models without inverter control and a large set of additional functions will cost the buyer at least a few thousand cheaper.They will work well and will last a long time, but there are few smart electronics like touch sensors in them. And PANASONIC inverter air conditioners with maximum functionality will always be more expensive. But repair in case of breakage will cost more.
Duct air conditioners
An ideal solution for an area from 50 to 135 m² in the absence of the possibility of placing devices on the wall will be the universal channel PANASONIC air conditioner, which can be inverter and conventional. This brand has a lot of features both in technical characteristics of air conditioners and in their functional features.
First of all, these devices are characterized by economical conditioning in terms of power consumption and quiet fan rotation. Secondly, PANASONIC ducted air conditioners can work in cold weather at an external temperature of -10 ° C, which is not always necessary in residential areas, but is in demand in stores and warehouses. Thirdly, the equipment of this brand is equipped with features that extend the life of the product and allow you to create a comfortable microclimate. It:
- automatic restart of the system with the sequential inclusion of its components after interruptions in power supply;
- work in the most suitable mode due to automatic switching;
- gentle drainage with cooling first;
- “hot start” control, in which the heat exchanger first heats up;
- self-diagnosis of faults;
- daily and weekly timers for turning on and off the system.
Also, at PANASONIC all channel air conditioners are equipped with good multi-stage filters that absorb odor and trap all harmful particles and microorganisms.
Another plus of channel splits is the ability to mix air from the street. To do this, when laying the system, an air supply unit is mounted and ducts are laid. From this unit, air is supplied to the supply air conditioning adapter.
Cassette Air Conditioners
At PANASONIC, mainly all cassette air conditioners have inverter control of the compressor, which leads to low energy costs. The advanced turbofan works very quietly, creating powerful airflows that are distributed in one or several directions, depending on the settings.
PANASONIC cassette air conditioners have a fairly large power range. They provide precise temperature control, phased air purification, cooling with gentle dehumidification and non-stop operation. This system can work in cold weather at a temperature outside of -10 ° C.
The main advantage is the ability to mask the device and communications in a suspended ceiling structure, leaving only the distribution panel in sight.
For apartments, cottages, offices, hotels and administrative buildings with an area of 20 to 140 m², cassette air conditioners are ideal.
Column, floor-and-ceiling, mobile and window air conditioners
The PANASONIC trademark also produces split systems of columned and floor-ceiling type. Window blocks belong to a separate category. They are not split systems, since all the components are located in one device - a monoblock.
| Type of air conditioner | Features |
|
Column (floor) |
|
|
Floor and ceiling (console) |
|
|
Window |
|
The only minus of window air conditioners is greater energy consumption compared to split systems.
Multi split systems
The multi-split system from PANASONIC with the ability to connect an outdoor module with 2-5 indoor devices of various types can be mounted in residential buildings and semi-industrial premises with an area of up to 150 m². The installation of multi-splits is also justified in cases where there is a ban on changing the appearance of the facade of an architectural object.
All multi-splits of this brand have an inverter type of control.
PANASONIC multi-split indoor units have the optimal combination of technical characteristics in the field of energy saving and are equipped with very convenient functions and systems, namely:
- disinfecting and deodorizing filters;
- air flow control at different angles of inclination of the blinds;
- automatic change of modes;
- daily and weekly programming in time;
- hot start and its management;
- flexible installation system;
- low noise mode;
- convenient removable panels.
The outdoor units are characterized by infinitely variable power control, single-phase connection and energy savings of up to 40%. The length of the connecting line between the internal and external modules can reach up to 30 m, the total length of the route - up to 80 m, the maximum height difference - up to 15 m.
Another feature is the elimination of dust and dirt in multi-split systems through ultrasonic exposure, which helps clean air twice as fast. This is achieved thanks to the generator integrated inside the external unit.
The blocks of such a component system are universal, so you can create a lot of combinations that suit one or another technical planning.
Multizone systems
To condition multi-room buildings, they use VRF-systems or VRF-mini with huge total power indicators of external units and the ability to connect dozens of internal modules to one external component.
The described brand has a whole series of ozone-friendly air conditioning systems ECOi, which at high efficiency minimizes energy consumption and operates on heat even at -25 ° C on the street. Increased external static pressure, a wide range of capacities, a track length of up to 1000 m, the possibility of subsequent modernization and corrosion protection are the main advantages of this system. Some models have a recuperator that allows you to further reduce consumer electricity indicators.
Indoor units can vary in type and power, and also work completely asynchronously and without depending on each other's settings.
Instructions for air conditioners and remote controls PANASONIC
Each model of PANASONIC air conditioner has its own operating manual, which also includes instructions for the remote control and installation instructions for a team of professional installers. These sections contain the necessary information on the settings of all modes and functions, the technical characteristics of PANASONIC air conditioners, recommendations for operation, installation and preparation for it.
Before using any device of this company, you must familiarize yourself with all the rules. The main section of the user, which is subject to compulsory study, is the instruction for the PANASONIC air conditioner remote control, which decrypts the purpose of all buttons and describes how to choose one or another program. With it, you can learn how to turn on the dehumidification mode, find out the temperature outside, set the silent mode and so on.
The remote control itself is quite informative and intuitive, but if there are difficulties with, for example, how to set the PANASONIC air conditioner to heat, you should refer to the instruction manual.It says that the device itself is turned on first, then the MODE button is pressed, the “sun” icon is displayed, then the HEAT button is pressed and the temperature is selected with the arrow button. Some models may have different designations, for example, arrows are replaced by plus and minus signs. In any case, setting the PANASONIC air conditioner to heat or another mode will not cause any difficulties.
Some users have a question what to do if the PANASONIC inverter air conditioner shuts down and the timer lamp flashes, or in another way, the timer indicator. Usually it gives a signal about any malfunction of the device. To find out the reason, you need to switch the remote control to read error codes. How it's done?
As soon as the PANASONIC air conditioner shuts off and the timer lamp flashes, the up arrow key for the timer settings is immediately pressed. So stand for 5 seconds, then use the same button to scroll through the error codes to the sound signal and watch the decryption in the service manual.
There are no error codes in the instructions for the PANASONIC air conditioner remote control; therefore, if you are having difficulty finding them, you must contact your authorized dealer or service department.
There is another easy way to fix this problem. You can turn off the system and then turn it back on. If the timer lamp on the PANASONIC air conditioner continues to blink, then you should find the error code, as described above.
Installation of air conditioners PANASONIC
Uninterrupted operation of climatic equipment will be ensured by professional installation. The most correct option is to buy a PANASONIC air conditioner with its installation by a team of qualified specialists who will continue to perform regular maintenance of the equipment and, if necessary, repair it.
Only experienced installers will be able to accurately fix the devices at their location, correctly use the electrical circuits, installation instructions for the PANASONIC air conditioner, put the system into operation and observe safety precautions. Interaction with professionals is a guarantee that money is not wasted in vain.
In addition, there are several significant advantages that speak in favor of buying an air conditioner with installation, and specifically:
- discounts of 10-15% of the total cost;
- Saving customer time
- guarantees for the work performed.
Typically, the price of a PANASONIC air conditioner with installation depends on the technical parameters of the device itself and its location. From this, the number of consumables and the complexity of the work will be calculated, and, therefore, the total amount will be determined.
The customer must provide the masters with all the technical documentation that is included in the kit, since during installation they will need instructions for installing the PANASONIC air conditioner to familiarize themselves with the features of a particular device model.
Repair of air conditioners PANASONIC
Most often, household models of climatic equipment fail. One of the most expensive breakdowns in air conditioners, including PANASONIC, is considered to be a compressor, which may have several causes of malfunction:
- bearing failure;
- output break in the starting capacitor;
- crankshaft defect;
- breakage of the compressor motor windings.
In most cases, the PANASONIC air conditioning compressor is simply replaced with a new one. If the breakdown is not so significant, for example, the lack of inrush current due to an open thermal protection relay, then other details are changed. In this case, the relay is to be replaced.
If the service life is already very long, then repairing or replacing the PANASONIC air conditioning compressor may be elementary disadvantageous. In such cases, replace the old device with a new one.
In addition to the compressor, an external module heat exchanger, a filtration system, a microprocessor, a 4-way valve and other internal components may fail.The cause of any damage can be both mechanical and electrical defects.
You can’t try to fix the air conditioner yourself. To do this, a specialist is called who carries out diagnostics and repairs either on site or in a service workshop.
