Portable Air Conditioners
Pinguino De'Longhi

Pinguno Portable Air Conditioners are all you need to keep
you and your house cool this summer.

What is a Portable Air Conditioner? How does it work?

Portable air conditioners are standalone units that provide cooling for specific areas or rooms. They consist of a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and a fan. They work by extracting warm air from the room, cooling it through the refrigeration cycle, and then releasing cool air back into the space. The hot air is typically vented out through an exhaust hose that can be placed near a window or another suitable outlet.

Kako izbrati prenosno klimatsko napravo

Pri izbiri prenosne klimatske naprave je treba upoštevati več dejavnikov. Izhodišče je hladilna zmogljivost (merjena v BTU ali kW), ki mora vedno ustrezati velikosti prostora, ki ga želite ohladiti. Drugi dejavniki so energijska učinkovitost, raven hrupa, dodatne funkcije, kot so programabilni časovniki in daljinski upravljalnik ter splošna kakovost izdelave in zanesljivost enote. Nekatere prenosne klimatske naprave imajo tudi dodatne funkcije, kot sta ogrevanje in odstranjevanje vlage. V naši trgovini lahko enostavno primerjate vse naše Pinguino modele, preden se odločite.

Power (BTU and kW vs. Room Size)

The cooling power ise measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units) or in kiloWatts. As a general guideline, the choice of BTUs and kWs must be based primarily on room size: higher BTU ratings and higher kW for larger rooms and lower ratings for smaller spaces. However, it's important to note that other factors, such as insulation and heat sources, can influence the cooling requirements.
For rooms up to 85m3 you can choose an element with around 9000 BTU or 2 - 2,5 kW. For bigger spaces, up to 100m3, better to choose units from 9000 to 12000 BTUs (2,6 to 3 kW). Some of De'Longhi most powerful units can reach up to 13000 BTUs (3,3 kW) and are suitable for areas bigger than 120m3.

Heating Function and Dehumidification Function

The dehumidification function helps to remove excess moisture from the air, improving comfort and reducing the risk of mould growth. This function can be used, for example, in a very humid room or at certain times of the year when the humidity is particularly high. The heating function, available on the De'Longhi PAC EL92HP, allows the appliance to provide warmth during the colder months, making it a versatile appliance that can be used all year round.

Bruit

Le niveau sonore varie entre les modèles, et il est important de choisir un appareil au niveau sonore approprié à l’usage qu’il en sera fait, en particulier si le climatiseur est utilisé dans des chambres ou autres pièces tranquilles. Recherchez les modèles qui fonctionnent à faibles décibels ou qui comportent des technologies de réduction du bruit.

Consommation d’énergie

Les climatiseurs portables portent en principe une étiquette concernant leur efficacité énergétique qui indique leurs capacités à économiser l’énergie et aide les utilisateurs à choisir en connaissance de cause. En Europe, l’efficacité énergétique des climatiseurs portables est indiquée par le Certificat européen d’efficacité énergétique. Ce certificat utilise une échelle de A+++ (le plus efficace) à D (le moins efficace). Les pays comme les États-Unis et l’Australie utilisent leur propre système de labels énergétiques, tels que le Energy Star et le Energy Rating Label. Choisir des modèles ayant des indices d’efficacité énergétique plus élevés peut contribuer à réduire les coûts d’électricité et l’impact environnemental de leur utilisation.

How to Install an Air Conditioner with external hose?

Installing a portable air conditioner with an external hose is really simple: the exhaust hose must be properly connected to the unit and directed towards a suitable window or ventilation opening. Setting up the unit involves securing the hose in place and ensuring a good seal to prevent hot air from entering the room.
First select a suitable location for the portable air conditioner near a window or door and place the unit on a flat, stable surface, preferably near a power outlet.
Then attach the exhaust hose to the back of the air conditioner (it usually fits into a designated outlet or port) and extend the hose towards the window or door.
Then connect the other end of the hose to the window ventilation kit supplied with the unit.

How much does an Air Conditioner cost?

The price of an Air Conditioner can vary depending on factors such as cooling capacity, additional features, and energy efficiency. Higher-quality and more feature-rich models may come with a higher price tag but can provide better performance and durability in the long run.
