What Is System 3 Aircon
A system 3 aircon is a multi split-type air conditioning system where three indoor (or fan coil) sub-units are connected to one compressor or outdoor sub-unit. A system 3 aircon configuration affords HDB flat owners a world of possibilities in terms of energy-saving measures and individualization schemes for meeting each family member’s unique cooling needs. The three indoor AC units can have varying BTU capacities, each one running independently of each other while drawing air cooled by only one compressor outside the flat and into your compartmentalized living spaces.
When do you choose a system 3 aircon
If you have a multi-room HDB flat that is medium to large-sized in floor area and has only the balcony as its limited exterior space, a system 3 aircon is an ideal and practical set-up for meeting your household’s variable cooling needs throughout the year. With a system 3 aircon, you can cool three different rooms in your flat simultaneously, with each indoor AC unit personalized to the settings preferred by the room occupant while reaping energy savings.
What are the benefits of a system 3 aircon
- Three-Way and Personalized Cooling Solution. A system 3 aircon gives the occupants of the various rooms in your flat the flexibility of tailoring their room temperature settings and AC timer settings according to their personal needs. You can freely run Sleep Mode, for example, at an earlier time during bedtime hours and do it without disrupting the preferred power-saving settings of the occupants of the two other rooms in the flat. A system 3 aircon allows homeowners to customize three different sets of air conditioner settings that are perfectly tailored to the unique cooling needs of the other members of the household.
- Energy-Efficient Cooling System. Most system 3 aircons use inverter technology known for its superior energy-saving features. A traditional non-inverter aircon uses an on-off cycle to regulate temperature; each time the compressor reverts to on, it uses up considerable amounts of electricity. An inverter aircon has microprocessors that adjust compressor speed to the lowest setting possible once the desired room temperature is reached. Additionally, the inherent compatibility of inverter aircons with solar power sources ensures their continued role in cooling your home even if you switch to solar technologies for energy generation.
- Money-Saving Cooling Configuration for a Medium or Large-Sized Flat. The overall cost (from aircon installation, maintenance, and operating power requirements) of running three separate air conditioning units, once for each room in the flat, is so much higher than simply investing in a system 3 air conditioning system. Consider also how vastly space saving a system 3 aircon design is while it efficiently meets your flat’s day-to-day cooling demands. There is only going to be one compressor in the tight balcony area of your flat, and it is already servicing three indoor AC units.
