Gree household split air conditioner is a model in the industry, and it is also one of the earliest first-line brands to manufacture mobile air conditioners in China.
In the market of split air conditioners, Gree can be said to be the first giant, but in terms of mobile air conditioning, Gree is not as unbeatable as split air conditioners, and it is not superior to Midea, but with the same export volume of more than 200,000, Gree mobile air conditioners still adhere to the style of first-line brands in terms of quality and quality control.
An air conditioning compressor can account for about three or four percent of the price of the whole machine, and mobile air conditioning is no exception. Like Midea, Gree also has its own compressor, Lingda, which is now widely used in mobile air conditioners. In 2017, Lingda compressor had a share of 22.90% in the air conditioning market, which is a three-legged trend with Meizhi and Highly compressors, and is comparable to international manufacturers in terms of technical maturity and reliability, and its performance is remarkable.
At present, the whole line of products is not equipped with a condensate self-evaporation system, which means that it must be drained regularly or connected to a special drainage pipe when in use, which will undoubtedly make the mobile air conditioner with many restrictions more chicken.
Fortunately, Gree pulled back a game in noise control, and the official nominal noise was within 54 decibels, which was slightly better than the United States. Theoretically, noise below 58 decibels is tolerable, but it can still affect sleep. Although most of the major manufacturers have configured sleep mode for this purpose, they cannot solve the noise problem at the root, which is also a common problem faced by the mobile air conditioning industry.
It should be noted here that the reason why the noise of mobile air conditioning is higher than that of split air conditioning is that there is no external unit of mobile air conditioner, so when operating indoors, the noise generated by its compressor and fan motor cannot be diffused to the external environment, resulting in excessive noise.
At present, the number of mobile air conditioning products on sale in Gree is not much, and the KY-35N and KY-36N, which have been well received in previous years, have been removed from the shelves, and the only products on sale are KY-35NL and KY-23NK. Both are single-tube mobile air conditioners with a front-air outlet design, and the refrigerant is also environmentally friendly R410a.
The difference between KY-35NL and KY-23N is mainly refrigeration power, KY-35NL is 1.5 horsepower, KY-23N is 1 horse, theoretically speaking, 1.5 horsepower air conditioner is suitable for an area of 15-21 square meters, but considering the power loss of mobile air conditioning, especially single-tube mobile air conditioning, it is more recommended to skip the level of purchase, that is, KY-35NL can be used for 10-15 square meters of space. It's just that the price of 2699 yuan is significantly higher than that of Midea's products of the same level, and the cost performance is slightly insufficient.
