How to set the air conditioner on the “warm” mode

In spring and autumn, when there is no need to cool the room, many people are interested in the question: how to turn on the air conditioner for heat? Switching of the modes, as a rule, is carried out from the control panel.

How to switch modes

In order to adjust the air conditioner to heat, you should perform quite simple steps:

• turn on your air conditioner using the remote control by pressing the “on / off” button on it;
• set the heat mode by clicking on key "heat».

If the “Heat” button is absent, enter the mode of switching modes by pressing the “Mode” key. Next you need:

• set the operation mode until the sun icon or the inscription “heat” appears on the monitor display;
• Use the “+” and “-” keys to set the required temperature.
• wait 5-10 minutes.

Heating of the room begins after the expiration of 5-10 minutes from the moment the corresponding mode is activated. This is due to the need to rebuild the split system to a new temperature range of work. If after 5-10 minutes of operation the air conditioner does not heat up, it means that your device is not designed to perform such work.

When turning on the air conditioner for warm air, take into account the lowest possible temperature at which your model can work. As a rule, this indicator is -7 degrees.

The air conditioner does not go into heating mode.

If after installing the air conditioner on the heat, the temperature in the room does not increase, it means that your split unit is not designed for this, or something happened in its system internal setting failure. Check whether you can turn on the air conditioner for heating, with the help of instructions is not difficult.

If the function for space heating is provided by the manufacturer, but the temperature does not heat up, then the device is broken. The cause of damage may be:

• freon leak;
• valve breaker failure;
• malfunctions of electronics.

Without a sufficient amount of freon, the device can neither heat nor cool the air.In this case, you need to contact a specialized workshop for freon system refueling. Planned refueling should be made at least 1 time in 2-3 years.

Electric malfunctions are also a frequent reason why your machine, for example, an elji, does not switch to “hot” mode. Possible solution to the problem - reboot split system. If after re-turning on the air conditioner did not start functioning in the heater mode, it means that you will have to contact the repair shop.

How does the air conditioner for heat

Any split system is based on the principle of circulation of freon, which passes through various phases, then boiling, then turning into gas, thereby giving off thermal energy to the surrounding space. It all depends on junction temperatureswhich regulates the heat exchanger. If it is higher than the ambient temperature, the freon turns into gas and releases heat, absorbing the cold.

Prerequisite is having enough pressure, which will ensure the transformation of freon into a gaseous state. Two elements of the split-system are responsible for this function:

• compressor;
• thermostatic valves.

The compressor increases the pressure, and the valves - lower it.

Winter operation

Turn on the air conditioner for heating in winter time is quite possible. But at the same time consumable items will be wear out much faster and work efficiency will be significantly lower. The minimum acceptable temperature threshold is -7 degrees. The exact value of this indicator is written in the instruction manual.

It should be noted that the installation of the winter package does not affect the functioning of the Samsung air conditioner in the heating mode.

Among the main reasons why the air conditioner for heating in the winter can not function include:

• thickening of oil and other liquids;
• freezing of condensate in the drainage system;
• lack of power.

Many people mistakenly believe that by installing a winter set with heating of the drainage system and slowing down the fan, they will be able to turn on the equipment to work in the “warm” mode even in frosty weather. Such misconceptions often lead to serious damage, less often - to a complete replacement of the device.

When buying an air conditioner, be sure to pay attention to the temperature conditions in which the device can function.Different models have different boundaries of this parameter, which will necessarily affect both the power and the price of equipment.
