Many of our com­pa­tri­ots refuse to use such a bless­ing of civ­i­liza­tion as air con­di­tion­ing, moti­vat­ing their deci­sion by the lack of space or liv­ing con­di­tions that do not cor­re­spond to the pow­er of cli­mate tech­nol­o­gy. As an alter­na­tive to the “bulky” choose a more com­pact fan. But in vain, because not all mod­ern split sys­tems require a lot of space for instal­la­tion. This arti­cle will talk about real­ly small room air con­di­tion­ers that will fit per­fect­ly into the inte­ri­or of the small­est room.

What does the modern climate technology market offer?

To date, the small­est air con­di­tion­ers are some monoblock mod­els, includ­ing:

• Portable units that oper­ate both from a house­hold elec­tri­cal out­let and from a recharge­able bat­tery. This tech­nique is the best choice for small office premis­es, for sum­mer cot­tages, etc. Many peo­ple take portable air con­di­tion­ers with them on hikes: they per­fect­ly cool the tent.
• Win­dow monoblocks. The small­est air con­di­tion­ers of this line can be mount­ed even in stan­dard win­dow vents.
• Mobile or portable air con­di­tion­ers. These devices are equipped with wheels and can be eas­i­ly moved from one liv­ing space to anoth­er.

You should know that a small air con­di­tion­er is not nec­es­sar­i­ly a low-pow­er device. Many typ­i­cal rep­re­sen­ta­tives of this line of cli­mate tech­nol­o­gy can eas­i­ly com­pete in per­for­mance even with fair­ly pow­er­ful instal­la­tions.

Search for a device and the difficulty in choosing it

Most often, a per­son is faced with the choice of minia­ture equip­ment sole­ly out of neces­si­ty. Lack of space, dif­fi­cul­ty with instal­la­tion — these are the main rea­sons for pur­chas­ing small air con­di­tion­ers. The fol­low­ing are some prac­ti­cal guide­lines for choos­ing the right prod­uct.

1. Before buy­ing, you should decide on the type of air con­di­tion­er that will ide­al­ly fit your home: a portable device, a split sys­tem or a monoblock win­dow.
2. Ques­tion price. Japan­ese man­u­fac­tur­ers require up to 20 thou­sand rubles for high-qual­i­ty minia­ture equip­ment; Euro­pean — from 10 to 15 thou­sand rubles; There are also cheap­er mod­els from less­er known man­u­fac­tur­ers. If you have funds of about 20 thou­sand rubles, then feel free to choose your favorite mod­el of famous Japan­ese man­u­fac­tur­ers. If the funds are less than 10 thou­sand rubles, then opt for a man­u­fac­tur­er from the Mid­dle King­dom that you trust.
3. If you want to install a split sys­tem, then mea­sure the free space in the room, because the small­est rep­re­sen­ta­tives of this line have over­all dimen­sions of 550x250x150 mm. Almost all com­pa­nies are engaged in the pro­duc­tion of split sys­tems with such dimen­sions, so choos­ing the most suit­able device is quite sim­ple.
4. If there is no free space on the walls, and air con­di­tion­ing is sim­ply vital, then you can opt for a minia­ture win­dow air con­di­tion­er. This choice has its advan­tages and dis­ad­van­tages. The main advan­tage of such mod­els is that even if there is no place in the room at all, then for the “win­dow” it will always be there. The dis­ad­van­tage can be con­sid­ered a high noise lev­el, since all devices are in the same mod­ule. The best choice for a man­u­fac­tur­er of minia­ture win­dow monoblocks would be a com­pa­ny from the Land of the Ris­ing Sun or Europe.
5. If you need a small home air con­di­tion­er that needs to be peri­od­i­cal­ly moved to dif­fer­ent rooms, then the right choice would be to focus on portable devices made in Chi­na. At a low cost, you can get a fair­ly high-qual­i­ty and func­tion­al device, of which more than 100 mod­els are offered there.

The main manufacturers of small air conditioners

USA

The Frigidaire FAX052P7A mod­el is in con­stant demand among con­sumers. USA man­u­fac­tur­er.

With more than mod­est dimen­sions of a small air con­di­tion­er (300x390x300 mm.), The device shows excel­lent cool­ing capac­i­ty — 1.5 kW / h. with an ener­gy effi­cien­cy coef­fi­cient of 9.7 units. Accord­ing to the man­u­fac­tur­er, this pow­er is enough to cool a room with an area of ​​45 m². In addi­tion to good pow­er, this mod­el is equipped with a seri­ous fil­tra­tion sys­tem, 2‑speed fan and air­flow con­trol.

The only prob­lem with this “baby” is the con­nec­tion to our pow­er grid. The device is pow­ered by 110 v, which will require our com­pa­tri­ots to com­plete the device with a spe­cial adapter.

South Korea

With­out exag­ger­a­tion, LG LP6000ER Air Con­di­tion­er can be con­sid­ered one of the small­est mod­els. Pro­duc­er South Korea

Remark­able low pro­file design and mod­ern “appear­ance” makes it the most attrac­tive of the entire line of minia­ture cli­mate con­trol equip­ment. In addi­tion to design, this almost silent device has excel­lent cool­ing capac­i­ty (1.8 kW) and good func­tion­al­i­ty: 3 fan speeds, 3 cool­ing modes, auto-restart, 4 air jet direc­tions, etc. LG LP6000ER is an excel­lent air con­di­tion­er for a small room.

Small mobile monoblock Hyundai HAP 1–03C-UI001. Pro­duc­er South Korea.

The mod­est dimen­sions of this mod­el (375x500x285 mm) and aver­age per­for­mance (1 kW) make the device almost ide­al for a small room. The device is equipped with good func­tion­al­i­ty (work in auto­mat­ic, ven­ti­la­tion, dehu­mid­i­fi­ca­tion modes). In addi­tion, the device has a timer, 3 fan speeds, which makes it a full-fledged rep­re­sen­ta­tive of a full-fledged cli­mate tech­nol­o­gy.

The choice of minia­ture cli­mat­ic equip­ment in Russ­ian stores is quite exten­sive. Despite the widest range of mod­els of air con­di­tion­ers with mod­est dimen­sions, con­sult with a spe­cial­ist before pur­chas­ing. If the dimen­sions of the room do not allow you to install any of the above mod­els, then pay atten­tion to the ceil­ing split sys­tems.
