Review of Akira air conditioners: error codes, comparison of models and their characteristics

The first Akira brand products appeared on the Russian market in 2002. At that time, the assortment was represented by various household appliances: video recorders, televisions, stereos and so on. Already the first consignments of supplied goods began to be in high demand due to the quality and reliability of the equipment. Such popularity of the brand served as fertile ground for the expansion of the dealer network throughout Russia (more than 50 cities in the first 2 years).

Since 2005, climatic equipment has also been included in the list of products sold on the territory of the Russian Federation. TM Akira belongs to the Japanese corporation "Akihabara Electric Corporation Ltd." and registered in Singapore back in 1994. Five years later, the brand is transformed into an independent production, called "Akira International Pte Ltd.".

High quality indicators of products are achieved by the manufacturer due to:

• modern developments and technologies;
• the possibility of carrying out research work;
• powerful technical base.

The company has not only a network of its own production, but also several scientific laboratories. The largest factories of the enterprise are located in Singapore, Japan, China and South Korea. The company adheres to the principle of checking the reliability of equipment based on the results of sales in the domestic market, after which it is allowed to form batches for shipment for export around the world.

Main lines of air conditioners

Akira air conditioners are available in several versions. At the moment, before buying an Akira air conditioner, you should familiarize yourself with the entire rich assortment of products presented:

• a wide range of split systems from Akira, dividing climate systems into 4 different series;
• cassette multisplit;
• compact window air conditioners;
• column installations for air conditioning.

In the process of creating equipment, only components from trusted suppliers are used, which significantly extends the service life of the finished device. The division of products into several main lines allows each customer to choose for himself exactly the device that meets his individual requirements and the characteristics of the serviced object.

Window air conditioners

Window blocks are the first HVAC equipment manufactured by the company. Monoblocks for windows are distinguished by the following technical characteristics:

• the ability to work in 3 speed modes;
• power consumption in the range from 800 to 1020 W, depending on the model;
• cooling power up to 2600 W.

It should be noted that the Akira brand is one of the few who to this day continues to supply this type of air conditioners to the Russian market.

Wall split systems

The set of such equipment includes two types of units as standard: internal and external. The durability and safety of operation of the devices is due to the use of original compressors from the world's leading brands: Mitsubishi, Toshiba and Hitachi. Other distinctive features of household multi-split are:

• sophisticated yet versatile design;
• the presence of a highly efficient built-in filtration system, including plasma, electrostatic filters and ionizers;
• in some models of the AC series, it is possible to connect one external unit to two internal units at once without losing the performance of each of the devices.

All household split systems are distinguished by their quiet operation and ease of setup. Installation of an air conditioner is possible both in the office and in the apartment. The choice of equipment depends on the area of ​​the serviced premises. The price of products depends on the model and a specific series, among which are highlighted:

1. "Light" ("ON / OFF") equipped with a UV lamp for maximum air purification and disinfection.
2. "Turbo" ("ON / OFF"), designed for office and residential premises up to 70 m2.
3. "Standart" with Inverter technology.
4. "Air Premium", incorporating the latest developments in the field of climatic technology. Also created on the basis of an inverter.

Each of the devices of any series is able to quickly ensure the achievement of the necessary parameters, both in heating and cooling modes. Convenience of setting and switching modes is provided by the remote control.

Cassette multisplit

The cassette units are absolutely invisible in the room, as they are mounted in a suspended (hemmed) ceiling. Thanks to their high performance, Akira cassettes can handle enlarged objects while operating almost silently. Most in demand in crowded places: shopping centers, business halls, shops, restaurants, etc.

Cassette systems have gained fame not only in Russia, but all over the world. The advantages of cassette equipment are:

• complete "disguise" in any interior;
• variability of device settings and ease of control;
• uninterrupted maintenance of premises with an increased area (up to 160 m2).

The only rule when choosing "cassette recorders" is to entrust the installation of equipment to professionals, since violation of the installation algorithm can lead to unwanted breakdowns and premature failure.

Column conditioners

In addition to the main operating modes, column air conditioners can be turned on in the "sleep" mode. Also, the presence of a built-in timer allows the system to work according to a predetermined schedule. In addition, they have such features as:

• power limit for cooling 12000 W, for heating 13200 W;
• creation of a microclimate at an object up to 50 m2;
• increased productivity in dehumidification mode - 5 l / h.

All multisplit columns are controlled by a remote device. For ease of use, the system is equipped with a function for storing the selected settings.

Akira air conditioner error codes

As an example of modern climate control equipment, the climate systems from Akira are equipped with a highly sensitive self-diagnosis system. This function allows you to detect faults that have occurred and define them as error codes. Decoding the designation of the error code displayed on the display allows you to timely carry out the necessary work on the repair of equipment.

User reviews

Based on the information in user reviews, brand products are distinguished by:

• high-quality body material;
• wide range of options;
• variability of instrument settings;
