Portable Air Conditioning Guide

Portable Air Conditioning Units are the easiest route to true air conditioning in the office or home.  They can be installed easily, connecting into a 13 amp socket and are ready to use immediately.

Mobile Air Conditioning units work by taking heat from a room, expelling it to the outside.  Air inside the room is chilled and recirculated.  There are two main types of mobile, single units and split systems.

Room Sizing 

Room sizes are given as an approximate guide.  For basic rule of thumb calculations the cooling capacity is calculated on the basis of 120watts for home cooling and 150watts for office coling to cool 1 square meter floor area.

However, when determining the model best suited for your room remember that each room has its own characteristics, so heat gain should be considered too.

South and West facing windows, more than 2 people in a room and office equipment will all add more heat to a room so a more powerful air conditioner will be required.

Single Hose Portable Units

These are instantly recognised by their exhaust hose which is used to expel the hot and damp air to the outside.  Single units can cope with a wide range of standard room requirements.

Split Type Portable Systems

For larger rooms or rooms that have bigger heat loads, split systems are normally required.  They are easily recognised by the separate (condenser) box that needs to be placed outside the room.

EFFECTIVE COOLING 

All mobile air conditioners take moisture from the air.  Delonghi mobiles recycle this moisture to improve cooling efficiency by pumping the water from a collection tray over the condenser.  This allows a more efficient operation and means that the machine will operate longer in very humid conditions than many of its competitors.
