Hisense Air Conditioner AS-12HR4SVDTE

The Hisense AS-12HR4SVDTE is a wall-mounted, non-inverter (ON/OFF) split system air conditioner designed for efficient and reliable cooling (and heating, where applicable) in medium-sized living spaces. With a balance of performance and value, it’s ideal for everyday use in homes, offices, or commercial settings.

Key Specifications & Features

• Cooling & Heating Capacities
  • Cooling capacity ~ 3,600 W / 12,000 BTU (for the AS-12HR4SVDTE model) 
  • Heating capacity is comparable in models with heat-pump function (non-inverter mid-wall series supports heating) 

• Efficiency & Performance
  • EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) ~ 3.21 W/W for cooling; COP (Coefficient of Performance) ~ 3.61 for heating 
  • Uses R-410A refrigerant, with moderate cooling power input (for AS-12HR4SVDTE, ~1,121 W in cooling mode)

• Noise & Airflow
  • Indoor unit noise levels approx. 35–40 dB (low to high settings)
  • Outdoor unit noise around ~ 55 dB (typical for the mid-wall non-inverter units) 
  • Indoor & outdoor units designed with hydrophilic aluminium fins and inner grooved copper tubing for efficient heat exchange.

• Construction & Design
  • Standard split system with indoor & outdoor units; indoor dimensions ~ 780 × 270 × 208 mm (W×H×D) for this class of model 
  • Non-inverter ON/OFF compressor — operates at full speed when on, and turns off when set temperature is reached 
  • Straightforward design aimed at robustness, easier servicing, and lower upfront cost compared to inverter models 

• Features & Functions
  • Self-diagnosis and protection: the unit can detect faults or abnormal conditions and alert or shut down to protect itself.
  • Auto restart: resumes operation with prior settings after a power outage.
  • Timer and 24-hour scheduling features
  • Airflow controls: horizontal auto-swing louver, vertical louvers adjustable manually
  • Dehumidification (dry mode) and standard cooling modes
  • Sleep / night mode to reduce noise and power usage during rest hours

• Installation & Operation
  • Designed for reasonably easy installation (standard split unit mounting) 
  • Maximum pipe run typically ~ 10 m with allowable vertical height difference ~ 5 m in this model range 
  • Operates on standard single-phase 220–240 V, 50 Hz power supply 

Benefits & Suitability

• Reliable & cost-effective: Because it’s non-inverter, it’s simpler in design, easier to repair, and lower in cost compared to inverter models.

• Solid performance for medium rooms: With 12,000 BTU cooling capacity, it can comfortably handle mid-sized rooms with moderate insulation and sun exposure.

• Good balance of features: Includes useful modes such as sleep, timer, self-diagnosis, and auto-restart, making it practical for daily use.

• Moderate energy efficiency for its class: While not as efficient as inverter models, it still offers acceptable EER/COP performance for non-inverter ACs in its class.

• Durable components: The use of hydrophilic fins and inner-groove tubing enhances heat exchange and reduces corrosion, helping longevity.
