Guide to Cooling

An air conditioner, often abbreviated as AC, is a device or system used to control the temperature, humidity, and ventilation of a space, typically indoors. It works by taking in warm air from an area, cooling it through a refrigeration cycle, and then redistributing the cooled air back into the space.

Here's a brief overview of how an air conditioner works:

Air intake: Warm air from the indoor space is drawn into the air conditioner through a fan.

Cooling process: The warm air passes over coils containing a refrigerant, typically a liquid that can absorb and release heat efficiently. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the warm air, cooling it in the process.

Compression: The refrigerant, now in a gaseous state, is compressed by the compressor, increasing its pressure and temperature.

Condensation: The high-pressure, high-temperature gas is then passed through the condenser coils where it releases heat to the outside air and condenses back into a liquid state.

Expansion: The liquid refrigerant passes through an expansion valve, reducing its pressure and temperature.

Evaporation: The low-pressure, low-temperature liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator coils, where it absorbs heat from the warm indoor air, cooling the air and turning back into a gas.

Air circulation: The cooled air is blown back into the indoor space, effectively reducing the temperature and humidity.

Yes, many modern air conditioning systems are designed to both cool and heat indoor spaces. These are often referred to as "heat pumps" or "reversible air conditioners." They can reverse the refrigeration cycle to provide heating during colder periods.

Choosing the right air conditioner for your needs involves considering various factors related to your space, climate, preferences, and budget. Here are some key factors that might help you decide:
- Determine your cooling needs: do you need to have a system for your whole house? Is it only for one room? It will help to determine the capacity and the number of units you are looking for
- Consider Climate Needs: For hot climates, prioritize higher cooling capacity and energy efficiency. In colder climates, a heat pump or a dual-purpose unit (heating and cooling) might be beneficial. You can also have a look at our Nordic Range that is designed specifically for regions with low to cold temperatures.

An HVAC unit is considered "greener" when it operates in an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient manner. This helps to reduce its impact on the environment by minimizing energy consumption, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and utilizing eco-friendly refrigerants. Here are the key factors that contribute to a greener HVAC unit:

Energy efficiency and rating: Energy savings are made thanks to appliances with high energy ratings (A and above). With having at heart to develop Smarter but also more Energy Efficient units, we are able to offer a large range of A+++ and A++ units, to match all your needs. When you buy an energy-efficient system, you are doing much more than just getting control of your electricity bills – you are making a big contribution to looking after the planet, with lower greenhouse gas emissions and longer-lasting systems.

Opting for Greener refrigerant: By using greener refrigerants like R290 and R32, Haier is driving towards a more environmentally friendly & sustainable product portfolio. The use of new refrigerants reduces our impact on the Planet and helps you realise energy savings.

Energy savings are a preoccupation for many households. Here are several ways to maintain a high level of comfort while still saving energy and lowering your bills:

Optimize Heating and Cooling Systems:
Regularly maintain and service your heating and cooling systems to ensure they operate efficiently. Clean or replace air filters as recommended and schedule professional maintenance.

Use Smart tools and programming systems:
The hOn App: The hOn app enables you to control and manage all Haier smart appliances in your home. All basic functions can be managed from your smartphone such as purification and planning functions. It is also compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa. By allowing you to efficiently control your air conditioner and switch it on right when you need it, the hOn App will help you realise energy savings without even thinking of it.
The ECO Sensor: The air conditioner, thanks to the ECO Sensor, will detect the intensity of the light, the movement of people in the room and the level of activity. It will then automatically adjust the cooling or heating, enabling the reduction of energy consumption.

Program your air conditioner and your heat pump: by setting some working hours to automatically adjust your home's temperature when you're not there or during sleeping hours can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs.
