Technical overview

▸ Portable split design without permanent wall installation
▸ Suitable for rooms up to 28 m² or 70 m³

How it works and what it is for
The indoor unit removes heat from the room, while the outdoor unit releases it outside. Both units are connected by a sealed refrigerant circuit with a flat connecting line, avoiding the large hot-air exhaust hose used by conventional monobloc portable air conditioners. The appliance can cool the room, reduce humidity or circulate air.
