Dry function for air conditioning: translation into Russian and 3 temperature modes
Many modern air conditioners are equipped with a Dry function. Modern air conditioners are devices that can cool the air in a room, as well as many other functions. That is why this equipment is called multifunctional and, most importantly, quite in demand. It is unlikely that you will find offices, shopping centers, clinics or any other premises that do not have such household appliances. Among the most popular functions are: Dry, Heat, Fan. Each air conditioner operating mode has a specific purpose and is turned on at a specific time, either manually or through an automated system.
Heat: translation into Russian in the air conditioner
The translation into Russian of this mode of operation is very simple and it is a banal heating of the air in the room. Typically, it activates on its own when operating temperature in the room begins to decrease from the specified level. It is worth noting that not every air conditioner contains instructions regarding the minimum temperature at which the air conditioner can be operated.
In order to heat the air in the room, you need to turn on the Heat function in the air conditioner
For example, there are models that can only operate at temperatures not lower than:
- -5 oC;
- -10 оС;
- -15 oC.
If the device model has limitations and it is impossible to turn it on at a temperature lower than specified in the instructions, then there is a high probability of product failure. That is why, when purchasing equipment, you need to pay attention not only to the equipment itself, but also to the conditions under which the operation will be carried out. There are products that can operate at the lowest temperatures.
Air conditioner modes: icons and captions on the control panel
There are certain icons on the control panel that indicate the air conditioner modes.
You can easily get acquainted with the air conditioner modes using the instructions
Each of them is necessarily signed and has a certain meaning.:
- ON/OFF – on. and off devices;
- TEMP SET – select temperature level;
- FAN SPEED – speed at which the fan rotates;
- TAIMER – delay of turning on or off the device;
- SLEEP – sleep mode setting;
- SWING – button responsible for controlling horizontal blinds;
- RESET – reset of specified parameters;
- MODE – button responsible for setting the device operating mode;
- SWING – control of vertical blinds;
- TURBO – acceleration of the device.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated. All you have to do is decide on the desired action and press the appropriate button.
Fan: translation into Russian in the air conditioner
Air conditioner operating modes are the functions that the device will perform when you press a button with the corresponding icon.
It could be:
- Drying;
- Hydration;
- Ventilation.
A rather convenient function that the air conditioner has is the Fan function.
In this case we're talking about specifically about ventilation, which means turning off the cooling equipment and turning on the fans. The peculiarity of the function is that air is taken from the street. And it gets inside, but without additional cooling or heating.
This function is an advantageous option for those buildings in which central heating is installed.
There are models in which you can turn off the air intake from outside and simply connect the ventilation of the space in the room. On more modern air conditioners it is possible to regulate the fan speed.
Basic air conditioner modes and their designations
In general, an air conditioner is used for: dehumidification, cooling and heating. It is worth familiarizing yourself with each mode in advance in order to have an idea of the capabilities of this equipment. Heating or cooling functions are extremely important when purchasing an air conditioner, as these are the main modes. Cooling is carried out through a physical process, or to be more precise, the state of the refrigerant changes from liquid to gas, due to which warm air is drawn from the room.
In heating mode, the opposite happens: warm air is supplied to the room. This function is required from autumn to late spring and is most often used in public areas.
As for operation during winter, you need to carefully study the equipment instructions and determine the maximum permissible level negative temperature at which the device can be used. There are models of air conditioners that are used to heat air from the room in which they are installed, and the work is carried out through the operation of a heating element that heats the air passing through its cavity.
When choosing an air conditioner, you should additionally take into account both its main modes and designations
Many people are interested in the meaning of the word – air dehumidification. In general, not everyone uses a dehumidifier, but it is required to remove humidity and dampness from a room. When cooling, turning on the dehumidifier means providing more comfortable air to the room. The dehumidifier can turn on automatically, but this is only in those models that are equipped with a moisture level capture sensor. As soon as a deviation from the norm occurs, the Dry function is activated, allowing the space to be drained in a minimum amount of time.
If you purchase an air conditioner that has an automatic mode selection button, you can relieve yourself of a lot of worries. By clicking on this mode, you can simply enjoy the pleasant atmosphere and nothing more. In other words, automatic selection occurs required functions depending on environmental conditions. Such products cost a lot, but they are of higher quality and allow you to control the temperature and humidity of the air without even being in the room. The peculiarity of this function is to save energy, since when certain preset levels are reached, the air conditioner will automatically turn off.
By setting a sleep mode, you can also save electricity. For example, if you want the air conditioner to work only during the period of getting ready for bed, and not after that, then you need to set a sleep mode and a timer, which will turn off the equipment when triggered. This will allow you to sleep in silence and avoid oversaturation of the air with heat or, conversely, with cold. In some models this feature is called Comfort Sleep. The timer can be used at any time. For example, if you set it a few hours earlier, before people appear in the room, then by the time they arrive, the optimal temperature will be formed for a comfortable stay.
The heat exchanger defrost function is a mode that allows you to keep the air conditioner in normal operating condition for as long as possible. In other words, when the cooling operating mode is carried out, cold is collected inside in the refrigerant, and the presence of the defrosting function reduces the load on this part.
The process of filtering and purifying air is considered a very popular mode. Today there are air conditioners with step filters that can remove small contaminants and dust, including microorganisms, from the air conditioned. Due to these filters, the air is purified in three stages, in particular, the process of coarse cleaning is carried out, the removal of microbes and pollen from plants and the removal of unpleasant odors. This allows you to maintain not only a pleasant atmosphere in the room in terms of temperature and humidity, but also to eliminate odors that can accumulate and cause discomfort. Such functions are especially important for homes where there are animals, people with allergies, and for retail outlets.
What is DRY for an air conditioner: translation into Russian (video)
It is not at all difficult to understand what an air conditioner is, since it is equipment with the help of which ventilation, cooling, heating and air purification are carried out. The device is extremely useful and far from fancy, provided that high-quality installation and selection of the device have been carried out.

Greetings to all visitors to our site about air conditioners! Modern split systems are capable of performing multiple tasks. The main ones are cooling, heating, ventilation and air purification. Today we’ll talk more about the heating function. Or more precisely, how this mode is indicated on the control panel. Let's find out what the inscription “heat” means (on the remote control or on the air conditioner itself) translated into Russian.
The heating function on air conditioner remote controls may be indicated differently. But the essence of this mode is the same - indication of the operation of the device to heat the air in the room. Most often, the heat mode is indicated by the sun or the inscription “heat”. What translated from English language means "warmth", “warmth”, “heating”, “warm up”.
How to enable “heat” mode on a split system
Each split system remote control has a mode switching button (usually this button is designated “mode”). In order to turn on the “heat” on the air conditioner you need press the button 
"mode" so many times until the “sun” or the inscription “heat” will light up. On the indoor units of many air conditioners, in heating mode, an indicator in the form of a “sun” or a light bulb with the inscription “heat” lights up.
After you switch to heat, you will need to wait a while (usually 5-10 minutes) for warm air to come out of the air conditioner. This time is spent redirecting the movement of freon in the device. After the switching occurs, the functions of the split system blocks are swapped. The indoor unit will already produce heat, and the external unit will release cold to the street.
What to do if the “heat” mode on the air conditioner does not turn on
If you did everything according to, but there is no effect, then it is possible:
The “heat” mode on the air conditioner means that its components (namely the four-way valve) are configured to supply warm air to the room. The “split” will not cool in this mode, no matter what temperature you set it! In order for them to cool again, you will need to switch the mode and WAIT.

Every year, air conditioner manufacturers try to improve their equipment, to make it more ergonomic, functional, and perfect. Sometimes the consumer does not have time to track such progressive growth of all functionality manufactured equipment, and does not quite understand the role of some functions.
The question that often comes up is “what is this “dry” function and how does it work?”
Translated into Russian, the “dry” function is translated as “draining”. Many consumers understand that when the air conditioner is turned on for cooling or heating, the air in the room is still dehumidified. Naturally, the question arises - why further complicate the air conditioner and add a “drying” function?
Indeed, when the air conditioner operates for cooling or heating, a concomitant phenomenon is necessarily dehumidification of the air. But during such operation, the air temperature either decreases or increases, since the main operating mode is cooling or heating. If in a room, constantly or for some period of time, the air humidity becomes higher than the comfortable value for a person (60%), then it becomes uncomfortable to be in such a room. In this case, there is no need to lower or increase the air temperature in such a room. It is in this case that you should use the “dry” function of the air conditioner. In this case, the air conditioner begins to dehumidify the air, but the air temperature does not change.
How does this happen? When you select the “dry” function on the control panel, the air conditioner starts operating in air cooling mode, but this mode is special. In this mode, the fan of the indoor unit begins to operate at a minimum speed, which leads to minimal air recirculation through the heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the air is practically not cooled. However, the air conditioner works for cooling, but why is the air not cooled?
It turns out that with increased air humidity and minimal fan speed of the indoor unit, increased condensation occurs on the surface of the heat exchanger of the indoor unit. The formation of this condensation requires a large amount of energy (cold), which is produced by the air conditioner. Therefore, there is almost no energy (cold) left to cool the air itself. In technical terms, almost all of the cooling capacity of an air conditioner is spent on latent cooling capacity.
As a result of this mode of operation, intensive formation of condensate occurs, it flows into the pan and, subsequently, is removed into the sewer or into the street. This condensation or removed moisture is taken from the air in the room, which leads to its dehumidification.
Another mode that misleads some users is automatic mode. This is the automatic maintenance of a given indoor air temperature, regardless of the outdoor temperature. This mode is convenient for users who frequently use the air conditioner.
In this case, the user sets the desired air temperature and the air conditioner itself selects the mode in which the air conditioner will operate for cooling or heating. The only thing that needs to be taken into account when purchasing or using an air conditioner in this mode is the minimum outside temperature at which the air conditioner can operate for heating.
There is another function of the air conditioner that few people pay attention to. Self-cleaning function. When the air conditioner operates, as we already know, moisture (condensation) forms on the heat exchanger of the indoor unit for cooling. After the air conditioner is turned off, moisture remains on the surface of the heat exchanger and is an excellent breeding ground for the proliferation of microbes. Subsequent turning on of the air conditioner leads to the saturation of the air passing through the heat exchanger with these microbes and its entry into the room. With each switch off/on, the number of microbes increases several times. The self-cleaning mode after turning off the air conditioner does not turn off the fan of the indoor unit. It still works (rotates) for some time and cleans the heat exchanger of any remaining moisture on the surface of the heat exchanger. The absence of a wet surface prevents the formation of microbes. Take care of your health.
Greetings to everyone on the Air Conditioner website! Today I will try to write the most clear instructions on managing a household split system. I hope that after reading each user will be able to control absolutely any air conditioner.
Before turning on the split, make sure that the outside temperature corresponds to its operating conditions. If you do not know the permissible outdoor temperatures for your model, then I do not recommend turning on the device when the outside temperature is below zero degrees. Read more about this.
P.S. It happens that some air conditioners automatically turn on after “power” is supplied - there is nothing to worry about. Just continue setting it up according to the instructions.
Instructions for the air conditioner remote control - what the buttons and icons mean
I will arrange all functions and buttons in order of importance from frequently pressed to rarely used.
It is possible that after pressing the button the device will not start immediately (this depends on the selected mode and temperature).
- To enable desired mode there is a “Mode” button (can be displayed on the remote control in the form of several small icons - snowflake/sun/droplet). When pressed, the air conditioner modes are switched sequentially. Most devices have 5 modes:
After turning on the desired mode, it is important to wait 5-10 minutes for the Conder to change lanes.
P.S. It’s rare to come across remote controls where the modes are activated not by the Mode button, but by separate mode buttons - Cool, Heat, Dry, etc.
The principle of operation is simple - whatever temperature is set on the remote control, the air conditioner will maintain such a temperature in the room. For example, if you set 25, then the device will then try to maintain +25 degrees in the room (many people mistakenly think that the higher the number, the colder the device will blow - this is not true!!!)
- Of course, if the air conditioner is not sized correctly, it will never reach the desired temperature.
- On some models, the configured number automatically changes to the current temperature in the room - don’t get confused!!!
- The air conditioner will not cool if you set the remote control to 25, and in the room, let’s say, it’s already 24 degrees. The same applies to the heating mode (the device will not heat if the desired temperature in the room has already been reached).
The display shows the fan rotation speed as a scale or low/med/high/auto (slow/medium/fast/automatic speeds). When setting the automatic speed, the device itself chooses at what speed in at the moment turn the fan.
Setting the speed does not affect the value of the set temperature (for example, if you set 25 degrees, then they will be maintained). This function only affects the speed of cooling the room (how quickly the set temperature is reached).
It is important not to confuse the adjustment of the “Fan” fan speed and the “Fan” operating mode (ventilation is switched using the “Mode” button). Also, do not confuse automatic fan speed with automatic mode operation of the device (“Auto” - also switched using the “Mode” button).
The flow of any air conditioner is regulated in two directions - up/down and right/left. Up/down of any air conditioner is controlled by a button on the remote control. But right/left can be adjusted manually (in this case, be careful and better turn off the air conditioner).
There are several variations of the operation of the “Swing” button up/down:
- it happens that the direction changes in the simplest mode (pressed once - the curtains “float”, pressed a second time - the curtains are fixed at any point in the amplitude);
- it happens that the direction changes step by step (pressed once - the curtain moved one step, pressed a second time - the curtains moved another step, and so on);
- It happens that the position changes, as shown by the schematic image on the remote control display.
These were the main buttons that are found on absolutely every remote control. Next, we will look at additional, rarer buttons and functions.
The display often shows a “moon” icon in sleep mode. More details on how your particular model works when this option is activated can only be found in its operating instructions (comes with the documents for the “split”).
The quiet “Quiet” mode performs approximately the same function, only the temperature does not automatically change.
In most cases, setup begins by pressing the “Timer” button. And then it is better to use the instructions for specific model to set the current time, the time to turn on or turn off the “split”. If the instructions are lost, try finding them on the Internet. An extreme option is to try to set the time and timer using the so-called “poke method”.
This is accomplished thanks to the electrostatic field created additional device in the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The option is useful, if your model has it, be sure to use it.
“Hidden” buttons on split system remotes
Some remotes have “recessed” buttons that are pressed with a thin object. These are usually the “Reset” buttons - resets the remote control settings to factory settings (usually automatic). And the “Lock” button, which locks the remote control from accidental pressing (or, for example, from children). To unlock you need to press it again. 
Sequence of setting up any air conditioner
- First, turn on the air conditioner in the “network”;
- Turn on the device with the “On/off” button;
- Select the desired mode with the “Mode” button. We wait 10 minutes, and in parallel we continue setting up on the following points;
- We adjust the desired temperature using the “Temp” buttons or arrows;
- If required, we set it up desired speed fan rotation;
- If required, we adjust the direction of air flow by adjusting the “Swing” blinds;
- If required, we activate additional options - ionizer, self-cleaning, “i-feel”, “sleep”, “turbo” and others.
P.S. If the current temperature in the room matches the set temperature, the air conditioner will not cool (or heat depending on the mode).
When choosing an air conditioner for your home, we most often pay attention to its energy consumption and basic capabilities. Other functions of the air conditioner, such as ventilation, air dehumidification, air filtration and disinfection, remain beyond our attention. But manufacturers are making more and more efforts to introduce new developments and useful engineering ideas into their devices that can make our lives much more comfortable.
Let's look at the main operating modes of air conditioners and the opportunities they provide to users.
Cooling and heating
Cooling has always been and remains the main purpose of any air conditioner. It occurs through the use of a physical process in which the refrigerant, passing from a liquid to a gaseous state, absorbs heat from the environment. This leads to cooling air flow entering the room (accompanied by a drying effect due to the removal of moisture from the air). It is necessary to calculate the power of an air conditioner for cooling as follows: for every 8-10 square meters of area, 1 kW of power is required for normal operation of the device.
The “warm” version of the air conditioner (with the heat pump function) allows you to produce 300-400% more heat compared to the electricity consumed for this. In this regard, its use in the spring-autumn period is energetically feasible, and the modes justify their presence.
However, in winter, when the temperature drops significantly below zero, compressor oil and freon in air conditioners change their properties. This may lead to rapid failure of the device due to operation in unsuitable conditions. The solution to the problem is the use of a special “winter kit” (which serves for additional heating of the entire system), which allows you to expand the range of “operating” temperatures to -30 C. However, in addition to converting the air conditioner into a heater, you will receive a device that shamelessly “eats” electricity (from - for low efficiency) and your money.
There is a separate class of air conditioners equipped with a heating element. They also use a lot of electricity and are not cost effective (compared to other types of heaters).
Ventilation
This air conditioner mode (fan) uses only the fan in the indoor unit, which draws in air from outside without heating or cooling it. The use of this function is especially important if the room is heated using a central heating system.
It is possible to turn off the supply of outdoor air, turning the air conditioner into a “mixer” of air masses in the room, where the lower and upper layers are heated with different intensities (warm air collects closer to the ceiling, and colder air below).
More technically advanced models have the ability to adjust the fan speed, so you can set different ventilation intensities.
Dry mode
This mode is suitable for over-humidified rooms; it uses a physical phenomenon in which moisture from warm air falls on a cold surface (condensation). The process of air drying also occurs during normal cooling, but not so intensely.
In addition, when the “dry” mode is activated, the temperature in the room practically does not change, and the compressor turns on only when it deviates 1 degree above normal (or half a degree below). The drying time lasts 10 minutes, after which there is a pause of 5.5 minutes and a two-minute activation of the normal ventilation mode. Upon completion of all stages, the cycle provided by the “dry” program is repeated again.
Automatic mode selection
This function allows the air conditioner to independently select the most optimal operating modes. The device’s automation itself determines how to achieve the user’s instructions. in the best possible way(achieved by combining ventilation, heating or cooling modes, replacing each other as needed). The system can independently start the air drying process if this helps achieve the required temperature.
Comfortable sleep function
Activating this mode reduces the fan speed in the external unit to a minimum, due to which the device becomes silent and does not interfere with sleep. In addition, the air conditioner begins to closely monitor the temperature and gradually increases or decreases it if necessary (if it deviates from the specified “comfort” zone).
The “sleep” mode allows you to significantly save energy: the device will stop working after a specified period of time.
Timer
With this function, the air conditioner will be able to adjust the temperature in advance, before your arrival, or stop working after a certain period of time (specified using the remote control).
“Defrosting” the heat exchanger
During operation of the device, the electronics of the split system constantly measures the temperature of the refrigerant contained in the circuit of the outdoor unit. When the air conditioner uses heating mode, the refrigerant accumulates cold (“removed” from the air in the room), which inevitably leads to its freezing.
When the sensors detect a drop in the temperature of the outdoor unit circuit below -6 degrees, the first defrost starts. It usually takes 10 to 12 minutes to complete, after which the heating of the circuit stops and the refrigerant again acquires the ability to accumulate cold.
The presence of such a function will be useful when operating air conditioners in the cold season.
Air purification and filtration
Modern air conditioners are equipped with multi-stage filters that can prevent both large dust particles and harmful microorganisms that are invisible to the eye from entering the room. The filter system has three levels of purification. The first is represented by a fine metal grill (for rough air purification), the second is an electrostatic filter that “attracts” microbes and plant pollen. The final cleaning step removes tobacco smoke particles and other sources of unpleasant odors from the stream.
Panasonic has developed a special catechin filter that can not only absorb dust, smoke particles and pollen, but also deactivate bacteria and viruses that fall on it. Catechin disrupts the ability of viruses to attach to healthy cells in the body by coating microscopic “spikes” on the surface of harmful agents.
