Split systems Pioneer: characteristics, models and operation
We are living in a time of constant growth in the average annual temperature. In such conditions, it is very difficult to imagine our life without devices that help regulate it, at least in our homes. Therefore, air conditioners (split systems) have become an important part of our everyday life. In this regard, countless companies producing climate technology have appeared on the market. The article presents proposals from Pioneer, one of the leaders in the international market for the production of split systems.
Brand info
The origin of the Pioneer brand began with a small enterprise that opened in the difficult 90s of the last century. At first, the company suffered losses, but after a short period of time, their air conditioners began to gain popularity and gradually make their way to the international market. This result was due to the fact that Pioneer followed all the highest European quality standards, making its products better, more practical and, most importantly, stylish.
Today Pioneer air conditioners can be found in any store in 89 countries of the world, including the Russian market.
The company has 4 main principles of work: quality supported by a long-term guarantee, only the latest technologies, availability for all segments of the population, complete safety and environmental friendliness. These internal laws of the company help it not only to stay on the market during serious competition, but also to actively develop, bringing something new to the industry.
Features of split systems
Split systems are functionally no different from air conditioners. They also consist of two blocks: external and internal. These two compartments are interconnected by electric cables and an overhead trunk line.
The main purpose of split systems is to cool the air in the room where the indoor unit is installed.
This is done as follows: pumps inside the room suck hot air and carry it outside through the main line, at the same time the fan on the external compartment of the split system with blades picks up the already cooled air and carries it along the same main line, where the air is cooled under the action of special freons much more. And also, air conditioners have another important function - heating. Air from the street enters the outer compartment of the split system, then goes directly to the indoor unit, where heating elements are installed, which increase the air temperature, thereby heating the room.
As for the complete set of split systems, here it varies in different types and types of devices.
For example, the indoor unit can be wall-mounted, standing on the floor, installed in the corner of a room, or even placed around the perimeter of the wall in the form of a plinth... All additional elements: WI-FI control panels, LCD screens, auxiliary temperature sensors - can also be of different shapes and types. Such "accessories" are often selected for the very type of split-systems. Most of the outer compartments are cubic in shape and are installed on the outer walls of buildings to reduce noise levels.

This split system has a wide range of functions, but Motion Detection is rightfully considered the most unusual... It works according to the following scheme: the air conditioner independently detects the presence of a person in the room using special sensitive sensors (while they do not work on pets); the appliance then automatically turns on and adjusts to a specific temperature. This happens as long as people are indoors.
This function allows you to save money on electricity, using it rationally.

Review overview
Following customer reviews, we can conclude that split systems from Pioneer are better suited to the criterion of price - quality than their competitors. Consumers report high efficiency, ergonomics, and low power consumption levels, which help save money while getting the expected results. And also some users emphasize the ease of operation of the air conditioner. - you get used to the controls on a subconscious level thanks to the convenient, welcoming design.
It should be noted the noise level, which in the above-listed models reaches no higher than 40 dB, which is comparable to the barely audible whisper of a person or rustling of foliage. Because of this, Pioneer split systems do not cause discomfort during sleep or wakefulness.
Experts, in turn, focus on the contents of the devices, but even here they have no complaints, because these air conditioners use the latest technologies. So, all listed models are of the type of inverter split systems that can operate without losing efficiency, even at very low temperatures... Moreover, all internal parts of the devices are coated with a special anti-corrosion compound Blue Fin, which protects the mechanisms of the device from rust and excessive moisture.
The Pioneer devices use the innovative Cold Plasma technology, which at medium power levels can lower the room temperature by 10-12 degrees in just 15 minutes.
Selection recommendations
It is quite difficult to understand all the variety of devices for regulating temperatures existing at the moment, and it is easy to make critical mistakes when choosing, which will not allow the full potential of a split system to be fully unleashed. However, by following certain recommendations, this can be avoided.
- Before going to the store, carefully calculate the required power of the split system for the air-conditioned room. This can be done by substituting certain values in special equations.
- Decide what type of air conditioner you need. When choosing here, you will also need to rely on the area. For example, if you live in an average apartment, then it is better to choose wall-mounted air conditioners; if this is a room with high ceilings, which can accommodate many people at once, then cassette split systems will be the most suitable option.
- And also pay attention to the fan blades in the outdoor unit. Check the strength and condition of the coating. Try to avoid products that have various defects: cracks, dents, bumps.
- Another important point is the availability of filters and their quality. Together with the air, many bacteria enter the air conditioning system, which over time can multiply and literally poison the air. To protect yourself from this, choose photocatalytic and zeolite filters. They are able to decompose organic matter and absorb odors.
- At the time of purchase, take the opportunity and ask to measure the noise level during the operation of the air conditioner. Make sure that it does not exceed 40-50 dB.
Instructions for use
By following simple operating rules, you can significantly extend the service life of the split system. Here are some basic tips for using this type of device.
- Do not open windows when the air conditioner is running, as the volume of air that needs to be "processed" increases significantly, thereby increasing the load on the air conditioning system. This accelerates wear on the internal parts and can also overheat the machine.
- Install the indoor section of the air conditioner where it is not exposed to sunlight, which may cause overheating and damage.
- Keep the remote control in a special waterproof case.
- Try to carry out a detailed technical inspection every 2 years.
- Take notes when you change filters. So you can regularly monitor the cleanliness of the air conditioner, and at the same time the air.
- Before installation, make sure that there is nothing in front of the air conditioner that obstructs the free circulation of air.
- Observe the temperature regime. The comfortable temperature starts from + 17 ° С, the temperature should not be lowered below this value, as it is fraught with a cold.
- Do not use the air conditioner at outdoor temperatures that are within the range of -10 ° C to + 48 ° C.
