This feature means that you can set the unit to turn on at any time so that you can come home from work to a cooled room without running the unit unnecessarily throughout the day. A portable air conditioner is a self-contained unit that wheels into any room that needs cooling and does not require professional installation. Pinguino units include an adjustable window bracket and 4' exhaust hose for this purpose. Pinguino portable air conditioners use that condensation to enhance the cooling cycle. Any excess vapor is discharged through the exhaust hose.
Pinguino technology means extra cooling comfort and no messy water buckets to empty.
The professional model, PAC-290 with 8,500 BTUs, can usually handle a 10' x 12' room with 8' ceilings. This outside air is often very hot and humid and therefore not ideal as a cooling agent. It operates on 110 volt, ordinary household current. The compressor cycles off and on to maintain the comfort level you select. The Pinguino can also run as a dehumidifier only.
