During the summer, you feel comfortable at a temperature of between 24 and 27° C with a rela­tive humidity of about 50%.
Compared with installed models, portable air conditioning units have the advantage that they
can be moved from one room to another in the home or be transported from one building to
another.

Hot air from the room is passed through a
coil cooled by refrigerant gas. Excess
heat and moisture are removed
before the air is re-emitted into the
room.
In single unit models (Pinguino),
a small part of this air is used to
cool the refrigerant gas and
then, when hot and damp, is
discharged outside.
In models with case, the
circuit is cooled using air
from outside.
All Pinguino models can
also be used in fan-only
mode.
