How to distinguish the number of air conditioners?

With the arrival of high temperatures in summer, air conditioners have become an essential appliance for many families. However, many consumers are confused about the concept of "horsepower" when purchasing air conditioners. This article will introduce in detail how to distinguish the number of air conditioners to help you choose the air conditioner that suits you.

1. What is the number of units of an air conditioner?

How to distinguish the number of air conditioners?

The number of horsepower (HP) of the air conditioner is a unit that represents the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. One HP is approximately equal to 2500W of cooling capacity. The larger the number of horses, the stronger the cooling capacity and the larger the suitable area. The selection of the number of tiles needs to be comprehensively considered based on factors such as room area, floor height, orientation, etc.

2. Comparison table of air conditioner number and applicable area

Number of piecesRefrigeration capacity (W)Applicable area (㎡)
1 horse2200-260010-15
1.5 horses3200-360016-25
2 horses4500-550026-35
3 horses6500-750036-50
5 horses12000-1400050-70

3. Other factors affecting the selection of match numbers

In addition to the room area, the following factors will also affect the choice of the number of air conditioners:

1.Room height: When the floor height exceeds 3 meters, it is recommended to choose an air conditioner with a larger number of units.

2.room orientation: Rooms exposed to the west or facing the sun require more cooling capacity.

3.room usage: Kitchens, gyms and other places that generate a lot of heat require a larger number of horses.

4.Regional climate: In hot southern areas, it is recommended to choose a slightly larger number of horses.

4. Energy efficiency ratio of air conditioners with different numbers of units

Number of piecesLevel 1 Energy Efficiency (EER)Level 3 Energy Efficiency (EER)
1 horse≥3.6≥3.2
1.5 horses≥3.5≥3.1
2 horses≥3.4≥3.0
3 horses≥3.3≥2.9

5. Purchase suggestions

1.Measure room area: Accurately measure the length and width of the room and calculate the area.

2.Consider special factors: If there are large windows, western exposure, etc., increase the number of pieces appropriately.

3.Brand selection: It is recommended to choose a well-known brand, the quality and after-sales service are more guaranteed.

4.Energy efficiency level: Try to choose first-class energy-efficiency products to save energy during long-term use.

6. Common Misunderstandings

1.The bigger the number, the better: Excessively large number of horses will lead to frequent starts and stops, which not only consumes electricity but also affects comfort.

2.Ignore installation factors: The installation location, pipe length, etc. will all affect the actual cooling effect.

3.Just look at the price: Low-priced products may compromise on energy efficiency and longevity.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a clearer understanding of the distinction between air conditioner numbers. When purchasing an air conditioner, you must choose the appropriate number of units according to the actual situation, so that you can be comfortable and energy-saving.
