Information about the device

Description of the device

The primary purpose of the device is room cooling. It further filters and dehumidifies the air thus creating an agreeable room climate. In ventilation mode the device also provides the opportunity of air circulation without cooling effect. In dehumidification mode moisture is withdrawn from the air. The device operates fully automatically and thanks to its microprocessor control features a multitude of further options, the device can, for instance, be switched on or off automatically with time delay via the timer function. Handling the device can be conveniently accomplished via the control panel at the device or the supplied infrared remote control. The device was designed for universal, flexible and uncomplicated application. Due to its compact dimensions it can be easily transported and used in all interior spaces. The air handling unit cools the room air by withdrawing warmth. The absorbed warmth is emitted to the outside via the exhaust air hose, cooled air is fed to the installation site by means of a fan. Accumulating condensate trickles from the evaporator onto the hot condenser, there it evaporates and then is transported to the outside via the exhaust air hose. Excess condensate is dripping from the condenser into a condensate trap and is there re-fed to the condenser by use of a paddle wheel, where it evaporates and is discharged along with the exhaust air flow. A cooling agent sees to the transport of the absorbed warmth within the closed refrigerant circuit.
