Window type aircon (inverter)

[StockEngine]

A friend recently opened a shop at a mall and the contractor installed a Samsung 360° cassette type. I noticed that when their shop is full, around 20-22 people, plus lights, it gets kinda warm (though, no complaints naman from customers). Much colder pa sa common area ng mall compared sa loob. Do you think its under powered?

Additionally, the thermostat setting is always at 18deg°, the lowest I think. Is it ok to keep it that way? Wala bang masisira prematurely if its always at max temp (lowest)? Also, they notice na sobrang bilis dumumi nung filter, and they said na, everytime gusto linisin ung filter, they need to secure a permit with pay pa ata. So very cumbersome, parang dapat daw nag tap na lang sila ng ac sa mall, rather than putting up their own.

Lastly, should a household ac be treated like an auto ac, wherein you put the full blast blower on first for a couple of mins before and after switching it off?

Appreciate the response/s.

Is it even reaching target temps?

On a hot day, we turn on Turbo mode (both LG and Samsung inverter splits supports this feature).

It sets the A/C blower to full blast and the compressor at its highest speed. It switches back to the preset temperature and mode after 15 or 20 minutes.

If your A/C does not have this feature, you can emulate this mode manually.... set the fan on high for the first 15 minutes or so.

This'd be perfect if we had pull down windows.

Sinamahan ko brother ko bumili ng Kolin Window type.
Never knew na tinuturo pa din ng sales person na fan daw muna bago cool. Etc.
Pgka intindi ko sa ganon dapat gawin yon if na off mo tapos need buksan ulit agad. Hindi yung unang on from a long time

If it’s a big conventional window-type A/C, I guess it’s meant to prevent the sudden inrush of current.

But for smaller A/C units below 1HP, some don’t even have independent control of the fan power. It just has a thermostat, timer (also the on/off switch), and fan speed.

Inverters incorporates a delay on the compressor when turning it off then on immediately.

Sa tagal ko ng naka aircon, I never practiced this, besides the condura I buy does not have fan mode anymore, it's just a timer switch, and I never turn the thermostat off, naka pirme lang sya, ayos naman at tumatagal din.

It would help split-types to use the self-cleaning function. What it does is, after turning the A/C off, it runs the fan at a very low speed to help dry up the evaporator. I think it goes for anywhere between 20-30 minutes. The end effect is, less bacterial growth and gel formation and you can greatly reduce how often the A/C needs washing.

In the absence of this feature, you can just set the A/C to low fan for 20 minutes before turning it off. It would help if you have a way to automate this using an IR blaster (ie. Broadlink RM Mini3 + Alexa/Google Home Routines).

Hi, any of you guys have experience with kolin/panasonic/carrier 1hp window type inverters? On paper, kolin has the best numbers (eer, wattage, cooling capacity), carrier the worst. Price is the inverse, carrier most expensive, kolin the cheapest. I only have experience with panasonics (non-inverters) and it is on the middle ground in terms of price and specs. Would really appreciate any feedback that would sway me one way or the other...

Skip the above, go Hitachi window inverter, sir. Even w/ non-inverters, Hitachi over Panasonic now. The latter's quality has slipped over the years.

Thank you sir! With hitachi though, the vent is located on the left. It will be installed right next to a wall (see attached pic of the non-inverter unit it will be replacing) -I'm not entirely sure how this would affect airflow/circulation. Also, im not sure if hitachis come in standard sizes (preferred since i will be installing it myself)...

Fitment's the challenge. Check their sizes here:

i do not think your aircon-to-be will mind the wall.
but your wall might mind, i.e., dudumi kung saan tumatama yung buga.

OT.
the workplace once had occasion to replace the ageing 1.5 hp carrier, with an brand new, unknown brand rated at 2.5 hp (daw).
after only one day of use,
"hatakin na yang bagong brand na yan! ibalik yung 1.5 na luma! mas malamig pa yung mas maliit na luma...!"

The compact size will fit, but will leave a 3in gap on the side, 1in on top. Better numbers on the non-compact size however. Too bad it won't fit...
