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.

How to Choose a Portable Air Conditioner

There are several factors to consider when choosing a portable air conditioner. The starting point is cooling capacity (measured in BTUs or kW), which should always match the size of the room you want to cool. Other factors include energy efficiency, noise level, additional features such as programmable timers and remote control, and the overall build quality and reliability of the unit. Some portable air conditioners also come with additional features such as heating and dehumidification. In our shop you can easily compare all our Pinguino models before making a decision.

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.

Funkcje grzania i osuszania

Funkcja osuszania umożliwia pozbycie się nadmiernej wilgoci z powietrza, co ogranicza ryzyko pojawienia się pleśni, i tym samym wpływa na poprawę komfortu. Można ją stosować w pomieszczeniu, w którym panuje duża wilgoć, lub włączać okresowo, kiedy poziom wilgotności powietrza w roku jest szczególnie wysoki. Funkcja grzania, dostępna w modelu PAC EL92HP De'Longhi, nadaje urządzeniu uniwersalny charakter, ponieważ może być ono używane przez cały rok, zarówno do chłodzenia w ciepłe miesiące, jak i do ogrzewania, kiedy robi się zimno.

Hałas

Poziom hałasu – w zależności od modelu – może być różny, dlatego przy wyborze urządzenia, należy kierować się jego docelowym zastosowaniem i tolerancją na hałas. Szczególnie jest to ważne, jeśli klimatyzator ma być używany w sypialni lub innym cichym pomieszczeniu. Szukaj modeli, które cechuje cicha praca, lub są wyposażone w technologię redukcji hałasu.

Energy Consumption

Portable air conditioners are usually labelled with an energy efficiency rating that indicates their energy saving capabilities and helps users make informed choices about their efficiency. In Europe, the energy efficiency of portable air conditioners is usually indicated by the European Energy Efficiency Certificate. This certificate uses a scale from A+++ (most efficient) to D (least efficient). Countries such as the United States and Australia use their own energy labelling systems, such as the Energy Star rating and the Energy Rating Label respectively. Choosing models with higher energy efficiency ratings can help minimise electricity costs and reduce the environmental impact of their use.

Como instalar um ar condicionado com mangueira externa?

A instalação de um ar condicionado portátil com uma mangueira externa é muito simples: a mangueira de exaustão tem de ser devidamente ligada à unidade e dirigida para uma janela ou abertura de ventilação adequada. A configuração da unidade inclui a fixação da mangueira no devido lugar e garantir uma boa vedação, para impedir que o ar quente entre na divisão.
Primeiro, selecione uma localização adequada para o ar condicionado portátil, perto de uma janela ou porta, e coloque a unidade numa superfície plana e estável, de preferência, perto de uma tomada elétrica.
De seguida, ligue a mangueira de exaustão à parte de trás do aparelho de ar condicionado (regra geral, encaixa numa porta específica) e estenda a mangueira na direção na janela ou porta.
Depois, ligue a outra extremidade da mangueira ao kit de ventilação de janela fornecido com a unidade.

Quanto custa um desumidificador?

O preço de um desumidificador pode variar em função de fatores como a capacidade de arrefecimento, as funcionalidades adicionais e a eficiência energética. Os modelos de maior qualidade e com mais funcionalidades podem ter um preço mais alto, mas podem fornecer melhor desempenho e durabilidade a longo prazo.
