SMART Mode in Air Conditioner: Automatic Maintenance of Comfortable Microclimate
Purpose and Activation of the Mode
SMART mode (fuzzy logic mode) is designed for automatic maintenance of optimal indoor conditions depending on the current temperature. Upon activation, the air conditioner independently selects the operating mode (heating, cooling, dehumidification, or ventilation), target temperature, fan speed, and airflow direction.
To activate the mode, press the SMART button on the remote control. After activation, a corresponding icon appears on the remote display.
Operating Principle
The air conditioner is equipped with built-in temperature sensors that continuously monitor indoor air parameters. Based on this data, the device selects optimal operating parameters. For example, when the air temperature is high, cooling mode activates with necessary power. When temperature decreases, power reduces to maintain a comfortable microclimate.
Control Algorithms
For Wall-Mounted and Some Column Models
Mode and target temperature are selected based on current indoor temperature:
- ‹ +21 °C — heating mode activates, target temperature set around +22 °C;
- from +21 °C to +23 °C — ventilation mode activates;
- from +23 °C to +26 °C — dehumidification mode activates, temperature decreases by 1–2 °C over several minutes;
- › +26 °C — cooling mode activates, target temperature around +26 °C.
For Semi-Industrial Models
Mode selection depends on the difference between current and set temperature:
- if room temperature is 3 °C or more below set temperature — heating activates;
- if temperature is within ±3 °C of set temperature — ventilation activates;
- if temperature is 3 °C or more above set temperature — cooling activates.
Mode Features
SMART mode is especially effective with sharp weather changes during the day. Some models also automatically regulate air humidity. Temperature and airflow are adjusted automatically, but manual correction is possible:
- in on-off split systems — temperature can be adjusted within -2 to +2 °C (in some models up to ±7 °C);
- in inverter systems — adjustment range is from -7 to +7 °C to fine-tune the microclimate.
Limitations
SMART mode cannot be activated simultaneously with SUPER or ECO modes. To disable SMART mode, press the "Mode" button on the remote control.
Additional Settings
Users can adjust the following parameters within the allowable range:
- airflow speed — within limits allowed by the current mode;
- airflow direction — within limits allowed by the current mode.
User Feedback
Users appreciate the convenience of automatic adjustment without the need for manual settings. However, some note fluctuations between heating and cooling at night, which may cause discomfort during sleep.
