1. What is the fast cooling mode on an air conditioner?
The fast cooling mode on an air conditioner is when the unit operates at maximum capacity to quickly bring the room to the set temperature.
2. How does the rapid cooling mechanism on an air conditioner work?
The rapid cooling mechanism on an air conditioner is suitable for use when the room is too hot or crowded.
The rapid cooling mechanism on an air conditioner is suitable for use when the room is too hot or crowded. Usually, after startup, the compressor of the air conditioner begins to run slowly to bring the room to the previously set temperature. Therefore, the unit will not operate at maximum capacity immediately. Once it reaches the desired temperature, the air conditioner will maintain this level by toggling on and off.
- Reduced efficiency (for energy-saving air conditioner models).
- Constant on/off cycling (for regular air conditioner models).
Therefore, users will have to wait for a certain period of time (depending on the machine's operational capacity) for the cold air to evenly distribute throughout the room.
However, if we activate the rapid cooling mode on the air conditioner, the compressor will operate at maximum capacity and maintain this level for 20-30 minutes to quickly reach the set temperature. After that, the compressor will return to normal operation.
Manufacturers limit the duration of the rapid cooling mode to 20 or 30 minutes to prevent overloading the air conditioner, which could cause equipment damage or wasted energy consumption.
So when should you use this mode? Users should only use it when the unit has just started up, when the room is excessively hot, or when there are many people present.
