WHYNTER AIR CONDITIONER OVERVIEW

Whynter have a small but distinct number of Air Conditioners, which range from 10,000-BTUs to 14,000-BTUs, some of which can also be used as heaters. As part of Whynter’s stated aims, which are to produce products “designed around portability and space utilization” their entire range of Air Conditioners are Portable units, which simply means that they do not require permanent installation and they generally have wheels for maneuverability. However, because portable air conditioner normally quite tall and often need to expel the waste air through a window or opening, via an exhaust vent, these units are not as easy to move about as one might expect.

All the Whynter air conditioners operate on standard voltage, three-pin grounded plug and can be plugged into most electrical outlets. The company is always please to inform customers that this range of air conditioners is ideal for the robust cooling needs required by rooms using lots of electronic equipment or computer servers.

Air COOLERS should NOT be confused with Air CONDITIONERS. The former does not need venting and simply lowers the temperature by means of a circulating an airstream. Air coolers often requiring ice or water to be added for maximum cooling effectiveness.

Whynter have a single range of air conditioners, which are labeled the “SNO Artica” line of portable air conditioners. Not only do Sno Artica units cool the room, they can be used as a dehumidifier, where excess water condenses and is then expelled. Some water may be collected in an internal drip tray, but continuous draining through an exhaust hose is often the preferred option.

The “SNO Artica” range of air conditioners fall into 4 distinct categories, which are simply based on the units’ BTUs:-

1. 10,000-BTUs

2. 12,000-BTUs

3. 13,000-BTUs

4. 14,000-BTUs

MOST POPULAR FEATURES OF WHYNTER AC

SELF-EVAPORATING DESIGN

All Whynter portable air conditioners feature an advanced self-evaporating technology.

This is designed to use and to recycle the moisture collected during the cooling (or heating) process. This process exhausts most or all condensate automatically through a hose, attached to the unit.

The unit needs to stand close to a window or outlet to allow the expelled air to be removed.

BLUE-LIGHT LCD CONTROL PANEL

The 14,000-BTU series has this Backlit control panel. The circular blue light is situated in the center front panel and surrounded by the touch pad controls – making it look very futuristic.

The instruction manual contains a wealth of information about operating this unit, including how to turn off the Bluelight LCD display light.

REMOTE CONTROL

All models in the SNO Artica range have a digitally controlled Remote Control and certain models have an LCD display panel on the hand-held remote control.

LeAKAGE CURRENT DETECTION AND INTERRUPTION DEVICE

All units are supplied with an LCDI safety plug.

The Leakage-Current Detection and Interruption plug is a valuable safety measure, which monitors the power cord for any damage and ensures proper operation of the unit when voltage fluctuates. Any disruption in the flow of the current through the cord terminates the power as an added safety precaution.

EXTENDABLE EXHAUST HOSE

These units act as a dehumidifier. Much of the produce is expelled through an extendable exhaust hose (up to 5ft.)

ENERGY EFFICIENCY RATIO

All air conditioners are given an Energy Efficiency Ratio which is a measure of the cooling (or heating) efficiency of a product. The higher the EER rating, the more energy efficient the unit is.

A number of these SNO Article range of Portable Air Conditioners have a very high ratio – which indicates good energy efficiency.

The majority of window and wall room air conditioners can be awarded an ENERGY STAR® logo, if they meets with energy efficient criteria. HOWEVER at this time portable air conditioners cannot receive an ENERGY STAR® logo as there is currently no code of federal regulations to regulate the energy consumption of portable air conditioners.

MODERN DESIGN

Whynter are justly proud of their unusual ‘new look’ air conditioners with unique styles, handsome trims and, in most cases, silvery casement, described as “stainless steel and plasma design”.

.24 HOUR ON/OFF TIMER

This is used to delay the start/ stop time from up to 24 Hour.
