Electrolux EACS / I-09HSL / N3 Model Overview

Electrolux EACS / I-09HSL / N3 is a representative of the series DC Inverter. The name of the line indicates the presence of inverter technology, which was introduced by the engineers of the Electrolux company in household air conditioners.

Infinitely variable power control positively affected some characteristics:

  • the noise of the street module has decreased;
  • increased energy efficiency;
  • increased service life.

Thanks to a single voltage conversion, energy losses were reduced, and the design became simpler.

Model Series Slide Electrolux
Slide series is recognized as one of the most successful due to an acceptable price balance and a set of necessary functions, as well as due to the conformity of real parameters with the declared

In total, there are six units in the series: three with the marking “N3" and three - "N3_17Y".Models from the second group are more expensive, and the difference in price is due to the presence of one structural element - a pre-filter.

Air conditioners differ from each other only in performance and power. Accordingly, they are designed to service rooms of different sizes: 07HSL - for 20 m², 09HSL - for 25 m², 12HSL - for 35 m².

Considering the recommended area of ​​use, Electrolux EACS / I-09HSL / N3 can be installed both in spacious rooms and in studio-type apartments.

This is one of the successful options for equipping two combined rooms, for example, a kitchen and a living room. The air conditioner is also suitable for use in the office or lobby of a 2-story mansion.

Appearance and design features

Being a split system, the model consists of two modules interconnected, one of which is suspended from the wall indoors, and the other is installed externally on the facade.

Between them, 2 types of routes are laid - freon and drainage. These are copper pipes of a certain diameter, enclosed in insulation.

In addition to two modules, the kit includes two filters, a catechin and a photocatalytic filter, an instruction manual and a remote control with batteries.

The design of the housing of the internal module is not much different from the design of competitive models - an elongated plastic product in white and cream color with an indication and adjustment buttons in the central part.

Design of split system Electrolux
Air enters the unit through a grill located at the top. There are also filters. The working mechanism is covered by a wide front panel. In the lower part - vertical and horizontal adjustable strips, acting on the principle of blinds

The pipeline mounting location is on the left side. The LCD is small, indicators of temperature, on, timer and compressor, night mode are arranged in a row.

The indoor unit is equipped with a mounting kit, while installation of the external module requires the purchase of mounting brackets. They are usually chosen not according to a specific model, but according to the size of the block - metal stand holders are universal.

The outdoor unit air conditioner Electrolux
The outdoor unit is a large box of impact-resistant material, equipped with two grilles - for air inlet and outlet. Inside it is a compressor

Management is made from a wireless IR remote control. The maximum permissible distance for receiving a signal is 10 m of free space, without obstacles.

The buttons on the case are used only if the remote control for some reason fails. Using them constantly is inconvenient, since the module is usually located under the ceiling.

Basic and advanced features

An air conditioner is capable of both cooling a room or office in the heat, and heating in the off-season, when it is already cold outside, and the central heating system already or does not work. The range of adjustable temperature is from +18 ° С to +32 ° С. In addition, the system ventilates and drains the air.

The main parameters - temperature and operating time - are set from the remote control by pressing a simple combination of buttons. To create the most comfortable airflow you can choose one of 4 fan rotation modes: 3 standard (high / medium / low) and auto.

Rotary blinds system
By means of a rotary system of blinds it is possible to direct air in the necessary directions. Unlike budget counterparts, 09HSL / N3 is also equipped with vertical bars that regulate the flow movement to the right / left

Additional features to enhance a comfortable stay in the room:

  1. SWING1 - adjustment of blinds, distribution of flows.
  2. SWING2 - wiggle of vertical blinds.
  3. SLEEP - decrease in temperature at night, automatic shutdown of the mode occurs after 8 hours.
  4. SUPER - Intensive mode, automatically operatively lowering the temperature to +18 ° С.
  5. Auto cleaning - it is necessary for draining the drainage bath and heat exchanger from moisture after the device is operating in cooling mode.
  6. Autorestart - turning on the air conditioner after a power failure with saving the settings. It is performed in auto mode 3 minutes after the resumption of power supply.

If desired, you can turn off the display located on the case, then the backlight will turn off and it will become invisible on a white glossy background.

Already familiar option TIMER helps to choose the most convenient time for the air conditioner.

Advantages and disadvantages of a split system

Maximum service area is a very important parameter for calculating the power of the air conditioner. In this model, it is limited to 25 m², but this is enough to create a comfortable microclimate in typical residential premises.

Electrolux models at the exhibition stand
For rooms with an area of ​​15-20 m², it is recommended to purchase less powerful equipment - for example, modification 07HSL / N3 from the same series

The set of functions is quite complete, you can choose the optimal mode if you need to quickly warm up or cool down.

In addition, the following features of the device can be attributed to pluses:

  • significant energy savings;
  • double air purification from dust and odors;
  • fault detection by self-diagnosis and error code display;
  • remembering the settings set by the consumer;
  • even distribution of conditioned air throughout the room.

Separately, it should be said about the noise level - 24 dB. Due to this indicator, the Electrolux split system is considered one of the quietest.

  1. It seems like a good split system in its class. Both in price and in features. I think this is buying. The only thing I read is that it works noisily for heating. Doesn’t it bother to sleep?

      Hello! The noise level of air conditioners "Electrolux" when working on heating is 30-45 dB. This is really slightly higher than that of devices of similar power from other manufacturers.

      The noise of 45 dB is comparable to the noise of an old Soviet refrigerator operating at full power or a quiet conversation. In the daytime, this noise level is not a concern, but at night it becomes quite uncomfortable. However, this is not a reason to refuse to buy a split system.

      All Electrolux air conditioners have Sleep mode. When working in this mode, the noise level is reduced to a perfectly acceptable 20 dB due to reduced power of the fan and compressor. Also note that the noise level indicated by the manufacturer is measured at a distance of 2 meters from the operating device in accordance with GOST 23337-2014. Therefore, mount the air conditioner at a distance of at least 3 meters from the bed, so the actual noise level will be even lower.
