What are the Pinguino portable air conditioners?
D uring the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature between 75 and 81°F
(24 and 27°C) with a relative humidity of about 50%.
An air conditioning unit removes excess moisture and heat from the room where it is located.
Compared with window units, 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 (as this model), a small part of this air is used to cool the refrigerant gas and the hot and moist air is discharged outside..
