OK Friends;

After reading this forum decided to get the Whirlpool Royale 3 star window unit. Surprisingly the 3 star Royale unit is not available anywhere.

What is available is the 2 star deluxe unit.

Now I have options all in the similar price range:

Samsung/LG/O-General/Godrej/Blue star and Whirlpool (all 2 stars and 1.5Ton).

Any straight forward choice from these? I am inclined towards the Whirlpool unit after reading this forum.

Guys I am looking for 2 Ton Split A/C for my Dine-cum-drawing room. Which one is best with lower power consumption, as we are going to use this more.

I would look at Hitachi, Daikin, LG and Samsung. I may add that the commodity size is 1.5TR and not 2TR so the best value is in the common segment. I may also add that the Drawing/Dining area is unlikely to see more than 4-5 hours a day, as against 8+ for the bedroom.

My area is bit big, 30*14*10 so that's why thinking of one 2 ton one.

You can get an idea from
http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/1899515-post1183.html

EDIT @sam003

from the data that you have just posted you will need a 3.5 ton machine. Hitachi has Atom XL in that capacity. This rating however would require a 3 phase connection.

Alternatively you could consider the ASG30A from General. Though much lower than what you require it is one of the largest if not the largest capacity available to run on a single phase connection OR you could use two 2 ton units in the same room one near the sitting area and other near the dining. Use individually to get relief in immediate vicinity and in tandem for the entire room per your requirement.

[sam003]

Thanks Khoj, We already have 3 phase connection. ASG30A how much capacity does this model has.

[SirAlec]

ASG30A is a 2 and a half ton machine.

and BTW Sam! how are you in hottest of hot Delhi summer.

I have a Hitachi 1.5 ton Quadricool 1.5 ton window ac. I am facing a problem with its operation for last 2 - 3 days. While working normally and cooling (with compressor running, as indicated by the compressor light), the ac suddenly stops cooling and the compressor switches off (indicated by 'no sound' of compressor running). However, the compressor light remains on. On switching off and on the ac, the compressor light continues to remain on but actually the compressor does not run 9indicated by sound) and there is no cooling. After shutting down the ac for 5 - 10 minutes and switching on again, the ac starts working normally. People who were there in the room when the problem occurred for the first time said that a "whoooosh" sound had come from the ac, like gas leaking.

What could be the problem? Apparently, there is no problem in the compressor per se or the amount of gas as it resumes functioning after some time.

Any pointers as to what could have gone wrong.

Thanks.

I suspect it is thermal cutout taking place - the compressor's internal protection system, which is 'auto re-set'!

Hi,
As discussed earlier,I had bought the 2 ton O General split ac,model no.ASG24A.
Got delivery of the AC.I have a concern though,the IDU reads ASG24ABC-W and the ODU reads AOGR24AAT. I tried googling but can't find the above models.Can anyone help me plz.Khoj are you aware of this model.Reply soon,coz tommorow he is coming for installation

i also got the same model 10 days back. the manual states that the indoor unit is compatible with as many as 7 types of out door unit.i also tried googling but no results.
this machine chills you in no time-my room is around 275 sq feet and it hardly takes 10 min to cool.i initially had trouble with the stabilizer,noe the problem seems to be sorted out.
enjoy the a/c.

Then what is the way out? What needs to be repaired / replaced? Is it a minor problem? Need your help, guys.

So the Vgurad people replaced the faulty transformer or is their another angle to the story.

@inder

Trust drbabuanand has put your fears to rest. If you still have issues do post.

Seems to be a back pressure problem like the one another member had a few posts back. Wonder what the whooosh is though?

Is the unit a plain Quadra or the TM model.

What is behind the aircon and around the sides how much gap do you have from a solid wall. Is the aircon discharging the hot air into an enclosed area.

You have 3 phase, 5 wire, wiring in your house!! See below.

Khoj,

Thanks for your time.

The unit is plain Quadra. It is NOT TM model.

The area behind the aircon is totally open. There is no obstruction behind the ac and it is not discharging hot air into an enclosed area.

Around 7-8ish the previous evening, the problem occurred twice, but got reset after switching off the ac for 15-20 min and switching on again. Thereafter the ac worked like a charm the whole night. No problem at all.

Hi dr,I am a bit relieved from your experience.Is the manual inside the carton?Coz I want to know the specifications like BTU,power consumption,EER etc,before installing.
How much did you get the AC for,if you dont mind sharing.
This one seems to be imported from thailand.Did you get any kind of warranty.I dont have stabilizer in any of my ac's at home.Is it ok??
