Split Type Aircon: Which is best?

**timo07** · July 21st, 2012 05:59 PM

I bought a Panasonic Inverter type split aircon on 2008. Nalubog sa ondoy and I had to replace the cooling fan motor and remote controller. It has been providing me with trouble-free and efficient operation up to now. Very quiet. Mas maingay pa ang electric fan kesa doon sa condenser unit

In that case go for the inverter

Mga bro, ok ba inverter ng Samsung?

Parehas lng naman quality ng SAMSUNG & LG pero binili ko na inverter last summer LG dahil naka 50% off yung installation asa 3,5k lng and 28k for the unit. Laki binaba ng meralco ko compared sa time na hindi ako naka inverter. Sobrang recommend ko siya dahil grabe yung lamig tipid pa para sa 10-12hrs a day na gamit.

Halos buong pamilya namin Samsung Crustal-S Inverter split-type gamit... 6 out of 7. Isa lang yung Panasonic na inverter.

Libre pa installation kapag Samsung (for the first 10 or 15 ft)

All A/C's mentioned in this thread are the DX type. This is the system used in window-type and most residential and some industrial split-type A/C systems, including automobiles. DX means Direct Expansion; The refrigerant inside a tubing is used to directly cool the air inside the room.

The other is chilled water type and is typically used in many large central A/C systems. In this type, the refrigerant is used to chill water. The water is then pumped into the areas to be cooled.

Okay, thanks for the clarification sir. I thought DX type of aircon is somewhat similar to centralized chilled water type a/c.
