Portable air conditioning
A portable air conditioner, also called a penguin, is the ideal solution to air-condition a room without the need to carry out works or installations, in this way, you can immediately enjoy the comfort of air conditioning in your home.
Today, portable air conditioners are compact. The only thing you will have to do to start them up is plug them in and direct the air outlet to the outside, which will be hot when you have it running in cooling mode, and in the case of heat pump equipment, cold in heating mode.
This air outlet, which must be oriented towards the outside, is carried out by means of a flexible tube that the portable air conditioner incorporates as standard.
At ClimaMania you will surely find the model that suits your needs, you have cold-only products, with a heat pump that you can use both in summer and winter, or even models with Wi-Fi technology, which you can connect to your home internet and turn them on or off via mobile from anywhere.
How does a portable air conditioner work?
The portable air conditioner is a compact air conditioner, the external unit (compressor) takes it internal. This condenser absorbs air from the room through its normally side or rear grilles and refrigerates it to expel it through the front or upper grilles, thus air-conditioning the room.
It also has a tube at the back to expel the hot air that it has generated to cool the room and expel it to the street through a grill or window hole. It is important to use a special hole for the portable air conditioning tube outlet that is well insulated so that air from the street does not enter the room you want to cool.
Finally, inside the device, they usually have a tank where they pour the excess water from the condensation process, which you must maintain every X time depending on the use and condensation generated by your machine.
Unlike conventional air conditioners, the outdoor and indoor units are located in the same unit.
Technical characteristics of portable air conditioners
Now that you know how it works, you should know the technical characteristics of each of these portable computers. So that you can compare one device with another, it is important that you know all the characteristics that portable air conditioners have in common.
Size
The size is one of the drawbacks of these teams since they take up space in the room that you want to air condition. So you must have a reserved space near a window or exit to the outside for this portable device.
We have taken a penguin from our ClimaMania catalog and these are the measurements of a portable air conditioner: 30 x 28 x 68 cm (width x depth x height) and the weight is 21 kg, although they come equipped with wheels for greater mobility .
Silent
Portable air conditioners are not silent, they usually make noise since the compressor is inside the equipment. However, manufacturers are aware of this problem and are solving noise problems with these penguins. Today it is much more advanced and brands have managed to manufacture quieter portable air conditioners, dropping below 60dB at maximum power.
How to choose a portable air conditioner
When choosing your portable air conditioner, the first thing you need to know is the measurements of the room or room where you want to place it. The measurements are important to know the frigories that you need the penguin that you are going to buy to have. The frigories are the power that the appliance has to cool. The more refrigerators it has, the faster it will air-condition the environment and it will be able to cool larger rooms.
As a rule, to find out how many frigories you need in an air conditioner to cool a room, multiply the square meters (m²) of the room X 100 frigories. See table:
Once you know the refrigerators you need, it's time to look at the most important features that each brand and model offers you.
