Introduction: As an important place for family leisure and entertainment, it is very important to choose a suitable air conditioner.
In terms of the choice of air conditioning horsepower, 2 horsepower and 3 horsepower are the two common choices.
So, which one is better for your living room? This article will explain it in detail for you.
1. Understand the meaning of the number of air conditioners
The horsepower of an air conditioner refers to the cooling capacity of an air conditioner, which is measured in horsepower, referred to as "horsepower".
Generally speaking, the higher the number of air conditioners, the stronger the cooling (heat) capacity, which is suitable for larger rooms.
2. Calculate the area of the living room
Before choosing the number of air conditioners, you must first understand the area of your living room.
The formula for calculating the area of the living room is: length × width.
For example, a living room 5 meters long and 4 meters wide with an area of 20 square meters.
3. Scope of application of 2 HP air conditioner
The cooling capacity of 2 HP air conditioner is about 5000-5500W, which is suitable for rooms of 15-25 square meters.
You may consider opting for a 2HP air conditioner if:
1. The living room area is between 15-25 square meters;
2. The living room faces north or has less direct sunlight, and the heat dissipation conditions are better;
3. Family members do not have high requirements for cooling (heat) effect;
4. Energy-saving considerations, 2 hp air conditioner is more energy-saving than 3 hp air conditioner.
Fourth, the scope of application of 3 HP air conditioner
The cooling capacity of 3 HP air conditioner is about 7200-7500W, which is suitable for rooms of 25-40 square meters.
You can consider opting for a 3hp air conditioner if:
1. The living room area is between 25-40 square meters;
2. The living room faces south or has more direct sunlight, and the heat dissipation conditions are poor;
3. Family members have high requirements for cooling (heat) effect;
4. Gatherings are often held in the living room, and the flow of people is large.
5. Other precautions
1. Air conditioning brand and quality: choose well-known brands to ensure stable air conditioning performance and good after-sales service;
2. Energy efficiency ratio: The higher the energy efficiency ratio, the more energy-saving the air conditioner is.
It is recommended to choose an air conditioner with an energy efficiency rating of 1 or 2;
3. Noise: Try to choose an air conditioner with low noise so as not to affect daily life;
4. Extra functions: such as intelligent control, air purification, etc., which can be selected according to individual needs.
6. Summary
The choice of 2 hp or 3 hp air conditioner should be comprehensively considered according to factors such as the area of the living room, orientation, and the needs of family members.
The right air conditioner can not only bring a comfortable living environment, but also save energy and reduce the cost of use.
