Split systems Centek: characteristics, models and operation

Recently, when the world is increasingly feeling the consequences of the so-called global warming, the comfort of people in the summer season is becoming an increasingly important issue. One of the factors that significantly affect it is the presence in an apartment or house of such a thing as an air conditioner or a split system. This device makes it possible to significantly improve the atmosphere in the room by lowering the air temperature and to give coolness quickly and easily. One of the manufacturers of such devices is Centek, which produces high-quality split systems at affordable prices.

If we talk about the features that Centek split systems have, then they can be described using the example of the Centek CT-65A09 model. For example, this model, like some others from this manufacturer, belongs to the Air line, the production of which is concentrated in China, or more precisely, at an enterprise in Guangzhou province. Any feature here will be better compared to models released a few years earlier. This suggests that the manufacturer is constantly improving the device of the manufactured models and is trying to offer a potential client better split systems.

Naturally, the use of various innovations and new technologies makes it possible to increase the efficiency and safety of the split systems of this manufacturer. Another feature of Centek split-system models is that very serious quality control is carried out at all stages of the creation of such equipment. In addition, when creating split systems, only reliable and proven materials and components are used here. Another feature is that the manufacturer gives a 3-year warranty on its equipment.

Another important point, which does not contain a description of this model of split systems from Centek, is the use of special refrigerants in devices. In this case, we are talking about using the most energy efficient R410A freon, which poses no danger either to humans or to the environment. In general, as you can see, the split systems of the manufacturer in question have a certain number of features that distinguish them favorably against the background of the products of other companies that produce split systems.

If we talk about the advantages and disadvantages of various models of Centek split systems, then I must say that each has its own pros and cons. But if to sum up in general, then we can name the following strengths of devices from this manufacturer:

• high reliability;
• excellent performance of the compressor from the famous Japanese brand Toshiba;
• remote control screen backlight;
• pleasant appearance and the presence of a beautiful panel that is easy to wash;
• economical energy consumption;
• low noise level during the operation of the room unit;
• small dimensions of both indoor and outdoor units;
• acceptable and affordable cost for most users;
• good functionality of devices.

If we talk about the negative aspects that are in split systems, then we should name:

• lack of additional filters for cleaning air masses;
• rather short mains power cable;
• not very high quality materials that are used to create the drain pipe, which is supplied in the kit;
• a number of users note the rather low performance of some models;
• in some places there are difficulties with the acquisition of these models in large cities.

Before talking about the model range of devices from this manufacturer, it should be said that there are several lines of Centek split systems:

• wall-mounted;

• floor and ceiling;

• cassette.

The first model, which I want to talk about in detail, should be called Centek CT-65A09... The cooling capacity is 9000 btu here. If we talk about the power during cooling, then it is equal to 2650 W, and when heating - 2700 W. Power consumption for cooling is 825 W, and for heating - 748 W. The maximum air flow is 7.5 cubic meters per minute. The noise level of the outdoor unit during operation is 50 dB, and the indoor unit is 24 dB. In addition, there is a mold protection mode, as well as healthy sleep. If we talk about this mode, then during the owner's sleep, the air conditioner gently raises and lowers the temperature so that the comfort during sleep is maximized.

The model with the index is almost similar in characteristics to this model. Centek CT-65A07... Here, the cooling capacity is at the same level as the heating and cooling capacity. But the consumption will be slightly less - 650 W in cooling mode and 610 in heating mode. The main modes of the split system are heating and cooling. But the maximum air flow here is slightly less than in the model discussed above - 7 cubic meters per minute. The noise level here will be slightly less - 48 dB for the outdoor unit and 22 dB for the indoor unit.

The third model that I want to talk about is Centek CT-65A12... By the index, you can understand that it should be more technologically advanced than the 2 already mentioned. In fact, it is. The BTU capacity of this model is 12,000, both for cooling and heating. The rated power of this model is 1106 W for cooling and 1011 for heating. The maximum power input here is 1750 W. If we talk about the noise level for the indoor unit, then it is 27 dB, and for the outdoor unit - 52 dB. This model contains the following functions:

• autorestart;
• "Turbo" mode;
• antifungal function;
• 4 operating modes: heating, dehumidification, ventilation and cooling;
• automatic defrosting;
• Freon leakage protection function;
• iFeel function.

Another model from this Chinese manufacturer that began production in 2019 is Centek CT-65D07... One of its features is that the recommended area for work here is 26 sq. meters. Power consumption in cooling and heating mode is 825 and 748 W, respectively. If we talk about the total power, then in cooling mode it is 2650 W, and in heating mode - 2700 W. Another feature of this model is that there is a fairly low noise level during operation - about 24 dB.

Also, an interesting model that may interest buyers will be CENTEK CT-65A18... This split system has a cooling capacity of 18,000 btu. If we talk about the indicators of power consumption, then when cooling, the figure will be 1656 W, and when heating - 1509 W. It is a single-phase device that can operate in both cooling and heating modes. The heating power here is 5450 W, and the cooling power is 5300 W. The maximum air flow is 13.33 cubic meters per minute.

A good model, which is similar to some of the ones mentioned above, would be CENTEK CT-65B09... The cooling capacity of this model is 9000 btu. The device consumes 825 watts when cooled, and 748 watts when heated. If we talk about the power in the cooling and heating mode, then it is 2650 and 2700 watts, respectively. The maximum air flow that is possible here is 7.5 cubic meters per minute.This model also applies to a single-phase split system, like other models of the manufacturer.

Note that for models of various series, the company has created a single instruction describing all the technical characteristics, safety measures, various components, as well as the rules for caring for the air conditioner. Thanks to the detailed instructions supplied with each air conditioner model, life-threatening situations can be avoided. All manuals are written in simple language that will be understandable even to a person who has not previously used such a device.

It should be remembered that according to the instructions, it is forbidden to wash the module itself or the remote control or its buttons under running water. In addition, materials such as gasoline, alcohol, various kinds of abrasives and hot water with a temperature of more than 45 degrees must not be used for servicing plastic, so that it does not deform and lose color. When installing a split-system, the difference in levels between the blocks should be not more than 5 meters. In order to reduce energy consumption, as well as to minimize the possibility of condensate accumulation on the surface of the interblock route, which will significantly reduce the operating time of the connection points, experts propose to carry out the insulation of the communication route.

For thermal insulation of copper pipes, a rubber-based thermoflex is usually used. The connecting line, which consists of a pair of insulated pipelines, an electric cable and a drainage pipe, is tied with Teflon or bandage tape. Due to the large number of materials for insulating the track, there are no difficulties in finding them. The piping of the split communications is carried out as carefully as possible in order to exclude damage to the copper pipes. It is better to entrust this work to specialists.

If we talk about working with the indoor module, then it should be said that in no case should the split system be turned on again during dehumidification until it is completely finished. Another important point that should never be neglected is do not use a smartphone or mobile phone near the indoor unit, since interference from it may cause a malfunction in the device control... But if for some reason a failure did occur, then the manufacturer recommends rebooting the device by turning off the air conditioner from the network.

Many users note that Centek air conditioners look extremely attractive and stylish. On the positive side, it is also noted that they are quite powerful and work almost silently. At the same time, it is not immediately possible to understand the whole number of functions, and even the instruction manual does not always help with this. Also, as buyers write, the instructions may not always reflect the features of a particular model.

Buyers note the appearance of a characteristic odor after about a month of operation, which can come either from the plastic itself or from the heating of the fan motor. But all negative aspects can be attributed to some kind of marriage, the percentage of which does not exceed the number of negative reviews about products from other manufacturers. So we can say that the purchase and further use of air conditioners and split systems Centek is justified.
