Unit Description
How is the air cooled in the room?
The unit is operated with electric power and has been designed for universal, fully-automatic, smooth operation. Its compact design lets it be easily transported and used almost anywhere. The device works on the principle of compression. It is equipped with a closed-loop cooling system, a quiet radial fan which requires little maintenance and a power cable with plug. The fully-automatic control, integrated thermostat, three-setting fan and water tank with integrated overflow safety mechanism ensure proper operation of the unit. This portable air conditioner meets the basic safety and consumer health requirements outlined in the relevant EU regulations. It is safe and easy to operate.
Unit equipment
In a closed-loop cycle, there is a special medium called a refrigerant. This refrigerant transports the excess heat out of the room to be cooled. At the beginning of the cycle, this refrigerant, in the form of steam, is sucked in by the compressor 2, compressed and, as a result, becomes very hot. The heated refrigerant is routed to an exchanger mechanism, the condensator 3. In the condensator, the refrigerant steam is cooled by the room in the air until it condenses. The heat is expelled over the flexible exhaust hose to the outside by a fan. 5. In an injection nozzle, the flow control mechanism 4, the pressure on the air is decreased and it is routed to another exchanger mechanism, the evaporator 1. Cold air is actually generated in the evaporator. The liquid refrigerant evaporates, the heat required for this process is withdrawn from the air in the room that the fan 6 guides via the evaporator. The cooled air is resupplied to the room and the cycle begins again for the refrigerant. The temperature of the room is gradually lowered through this cyclical process. Because the cold cycle is a closed-loop, no refrigerant is lost or consumed.

Unit functionality A portable air conditioner works in principle like a refrigerator. In a refrigerator, heat is withdrawn from the food and drinks stored inside it. This heat is expelled to the surrounding air by means of a heat-exchanger on the back of the refrigerator. The portable air conditioner cools the air in the room by withdrawing heat from it. The heat absorbed is expelled to the outside and the cooled air is resupplied to the room where the unit is in operation.
8
Condensation During cooling mode, the air that has been sucked in from the room is cooled until it falls below the dew point and the steam contained in it condenses on the evaporator surface. The condensed water drips into the condensation trap 7 attached under the evaporator and, from there, enters the water tank 8. The water tank must be emptied from time to time.
