How does your Pinguino work
During the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature of between 24 and 27˚C and about 50% relative humidity.
An air conditioner removes moisture and heat from the room where it is located. One advantage of portable air conditioning units over fitted models is that they can be moved from one room to another in the home or even transferred between different buildings.
The hot air in your room is passed through a coil cooled by refrigerant gas, losing excess
heat and moisture before being discharged again into the room.
In single unit models (Pinguino), a small part of this air is used to cool the refrigerant gas before, hot and moist air is being discharged outside.
In suitcase models, the circuit is cooled using the air outside.
Each Pinguino and SuperPinguino can also be used as a fan only.
ECO by Pinguino is the latest generation of ecological air conditioners. Pinguino does not contain gases dangerous to the earth's ozone layer
(CFC/HCFC). In addition, thanks to the extreme efficiency of the
appliance, not only does it save you money on your electric bills, but it saves
the environment by not negatively contributing to the greenhouse effect."
