Inverter Type AC in Pakistan (Inverter/Non Inverter Dedicated Discussion)

[centos]

Anyone looking for a cheaper but good non-chinese inverter AC, I also did some research on Panasonic CS-US18SKH available for 70K asking in Abid market, I am sure can be further negotiated down.

30mins vaccumed

Whats a vacuumed? I mean i know what vacuum is but i want to know whats the use of it when installing AC? Does it offer any advantage? I have not seen anyone doing it in Lahore?

[HellsGuardian]

In short, it increases the life of your AC.

Vacuum removes air and moisture in the pipes which is the biggest enemy of the refrigeration system. The pipes can only contain refrigerant, not any thing else. I paid 700PKR extra for long life of my AC

Not just Lahore, 99% of installers just purge it. Some vacuum it with small compressors and only few have vacuum pump.
30 years ago, purging was though to be enough but not any more however in our country we still living by what ustad g learned from his ustad g

anyone got pics of the vaccum pump being used by some installers here in pak??

[HellsGuardian]

it looks like this

Amazon.com: FJC 6912 Vacuum Pump 5.0 Cfm: Automotive

I heard chinese pump price is around 8-10. A good quality branded one is twice

[usmanqadeer.education]

Just confirmed with them. They said 1224s is also T3.

[s15]

Tested all of them in depth, so talking about personal experience.

T3 inverter consumes less power than T1 inverter in real. Most of them have actually not yet seen a T3 inverter functioning, so all they keep commenting is their own theories to justify their T1 bad decisions.

When manufacturers itself claims that T1 has not been designed for such harsh climate over 43C, how can they even defend it putting it on 52C region? This is something i fail to understand.

You can keep it on 24C or even 22C at scorching heat and even then it will maintain at 3-4A, which is not the case with T1 inverters. And what you have is R22 model, R410a T3 inverter will be even more efficient.

Most of my family members use T3 Inverters and they noticed further reduction in bills over their old T1 inverters, even with daytime and heavy usage. All of them stay at 2-4A max on ~45C weather on 24-26C.

I also confirmed from RNI karachi corporate and t3 compressor is only on KES1820 and the 1 ton version. Everything else is t1. So either your source is wrong or people are stupid to pay 80k for kes1820 with blue fins when they can get the other one for 50-60. Think before speaking.

Can you also specify which brands currently in Pakistan are using T3? Also which compressor does Kenwood, Haier or pel use?

This particular model from panasonic available in the local market i.e., CS/CU-US18SKH-5 is of chinese origin having inferior built quality and packing as well, so it is advised to avoid it.

Posting here make, model, specs and actual puctures will help both you and the potential buyer to make a quick deal.

A T3 AC at T3 climate takes more rated power and give less rated cooling.

for example lg dual cool at T1 climate gives 18000 btu and consumes 1645 watts, but the same AC at T3 climate give 16300 btu of cooling and consumes 2010 watts.

take a look at here under tech specs http://www.lg.com/ae/split-air-conditioners/lg-I22TQC-dualcool-inverter-air-conditioner

No one needs a T3 unless they live in area where temperature goes above 45 very frequently, they want to use it during the day and their outer is placed under direct sun.

If one lives in Lahore and goes for T3 inverter at higher cost, that's just waste of money.

What about other models, do they come from japan ?

I saw this model at the official distributor at abid market. They have both the inner and outer on display for SKH, TKF and PKF. PKF has a huge outer like gree viola, TKF has smaller but different looking outer that I have not seen before.

[shabbir.1]

PKF is a Malaysian model with R22 referigerant, don't know about TKF.
We had had a great time with National windows ACs and to continue the legacy I have bought multiple Panasonic split ACs over the past 10 to 15 years for my home as well as my friends and relatives and Alhamdulillah none of them have ever failed so far.
This year, I bought my first inverter PKF model, haven't installed it so far due to busy schedule but I will try to share my experience once I get it installed.
While searching in the market I saw this US18SKH-5 model and was astonished to observe it's pathetic packing material. It even didn't have properly printed labels over the box except few poorly pasted plain paper stickers. This is the very first non-malaysian model I have ever seen so far.

He can come anywhere in lahore,give him a call and set a time

[mrdeejay]

If I recall correctly someone said that models begining with "US" are made in Chaina

[pwuser150013678596]

PKF is t3 so huge outdoor.
TKF is newer and is t1 so smaller outdoor.

How much does it cost to install new r22 honey well gas ??
Problem is 6 year old non inverter a.c is not producing water, one night it spilled water from inner unit, after running for about 6 hrs and a.c was turned off.
May be inner unit drain is blocked. But today mishtri said gas is leaked, he concluded this by checkinh the valve pressure, which he said is 25-30 ¿¿ , and also the valve is oily. So he asked that both units will be put off, checked for any leak, solded if any, valves will be replaced and new gas will be charged in. Gas charging cost will be 3k n valve replacement, soldering n servicing cost will be 1k.
1. So is he charging enuf for new gas??
2. How to confirm he is using genuine gas?
3. How to check if he replaced good quality valves?
4. Is it required to vaccum the lines now, as I am sure he will the fridge compressor kinda vaccum??
