De'Longhi Mobile Air Conditioners: Your Guide to Optimal Comfort
Discover how De'Longhi Pinguino mobile air conditioners create your ideal indoor climate, combining advanced technology with energy efficiency and user-friendly design.
Creating Your Ideal Indoor Climate
We spend most of our lives indoors, whether at home, in the office, or in shops. For a room to feel comfortable, its temperature plays a crucial role. We feel most comfortable at a room temperature between 20-23°C and a humidity level of 40-60%.
Ideal Conditions:
- Room Temperature: 20-23°C ?️
- Humidity: 40-60% ?
In summer, outdoor temperatures can exceed 30°C, making indoor spaces uncomfortably warm. Mobile air conditioners offer a quick, effective, and efficient solution.
De'Longhi boasts over 30 years of product experience in air conditioning. This expertise, continuous innovation, and Italian design have made De'Longhi a market leader in mobile air conditioners for many years. ?

Technology and Functions
Air-to-Air System
The Air-to-Air system is the standard cooling system for monoblock air conditioners. Warm room air is drawn into the unit and cooled via a closed refrigerant circuit. This system is simple, ready for immediate use without installation, compact, and flexible thanks to transport wheels.
How it Works
Inside the air conditioner, a closed refrigerant circuit circulates refrigerant. A fan draws warm room air through the unit and past the evaporator in the refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant evaporates, absorbing heat and moisture from the air. The cooled air is then returned to the room. The evaporated refrigerant is sent to the condenser to be recompressed. This process requires energy and generates heat, which is expelled from the system and room via the exhaust hose.
Condensate Recycling System ♻️
To increase efficiency, De'Longhi has implemented a condensate recycling system. Condensate from the cooling process is not simply discharged but used to cool the condenser.
Key Components:
- Warm, moist room air (input)
- Cooled air (output)
- Refrigerant circuit
- Compressor
- Evaporator
- Condenser
- Fan
- Expansion valve
Special Features
Silent System ?
De'Longhi air conditioners are exceptionally quiet thanks to the Silent System, reducing noise by up to 50%. This is achieved through reduced fan speeds and optimized airflow, resulting in up to 20% lower noise levels than the maximum permitted.
Energy Efficiency A++ ⭐
Experience increased performance with lower power consumption. Since 2016, De'Longhi has offered the PAC EX100 Silent, the first De'Longhi air conditioner with an A++ energy efficiency class. Other models achieve at least A or A+.
Natural Refrigerant R290 ?
De'Longhi is committed to environmental protection, utilizing natural resources for its Pinguino air conditioners. Since 2019, all De'Longhi units use R290 refrigerant, a natural, non-toxic gas that is ozone-friendly and has no significant direct impact on the greenhouse effect.
Real Feel Technology ?️?
Unlike many air conditioners that focus solely on cooling, Real Feel technology automatically regulates both temperature and humidity to create an optimal comfortable climate. This ensures that perceived temperatures match actual conditions.
Eco Real Feel Technology ??
This advanced technology further optimizes temperature and humidity regulation, offering up to 30% energy savings.
UV-Carelight ?
UV-C technology helps reduce bacteria and virus load in the ambient air.
Cool Surround Technology (CST) ?
A sensor in the remote control ensures the ideal comfort temperature and humidity are precisely delivered to your location in the room.
Pinguino Care4Me Concept ?
Models like the PAC EX120 CST WIFI and PAC EL112 CST WIFI allow for personalized climate control. Innovative technologies and the Geofencing function enable automatic unit activation as you approach home, ensuring a perfectly conditioned environment upon arrival. The De'Longhi Comfort App provides helpful weather tips for even more efficient climate control.
Accessories ?️
All De'Longhi air conditioners come with a comprehensive accessory set, including an exhaust hose, remote control, window adapter, and more.
Product Advisor: Choosing Your Ideal Unit
Selecting the right air conditioner can be challenging. Here's a guide to help you choose, using Max's search for a bedroom unit as an example:
Key Factors:
- Cooling Capacity
- Functionality
- Energy Efficiency
1. Cooling Capacity
The required cooling capacity depends on the room size and influencing factors like direct sunlight, insulation, and the use of electronic devices. A formula helps determine the minimum cooling capacity:
Room Size x Room Height x Influence Factor = Minimum Cooling Capacity (Watts)
Influence Factors:
- Factor 15: Well-insulated rooms, low sunlight, minimal electronics.
- Factor 20: Medium insulation, moderate sunlight, average electronics use.
- Factor 35: High sunlight, many windows, south-facing, attic rooms, average electronics use.
- Factor 70: Rooms with computers, conservatories.
Example: Max's 15 m² bedroom with 3m ceilings, south-facing with large windows and high sunlight exposure requires a unit with approximately 1,575 Watts of cooling capacity (15 m² x 3 m x Factor 35).
2. Functionality
Consider features like the Silent System for quiet operation, Real Feel for automatic temperature and humidity control, and Wi-Fi connectivity for app-based control.
3. Energy Efficiency
With rising energy costs and a focus on sustainability, energy efficiency is a key purchasing criterion. De'Longhi units offer excellent efficiency, with models achieving A++ ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ❓
Can the exhaust hose be extended?
No. Extending the hose reduces efficiency and can lead to condensate returning to the unit, causing damage.
Are there air conditioners without an exhaust hose?
No, monoblock units require an exhaust hose to expel heat and condensate for efficient cooling.
Can room temperature be lowered to 18°C?
Theoretically, yes. However, actual achievable temperatures depend on external factors like outside temperature, room occupancy, and electronic devices. Typically, a room can be cooled by 3-5°C. The ideal "comfort climate" is 20-23°C with 40-60% humidity.
How much does it cost to operate an air conditioner?
Costs depend on power consumption, electricity price, and usage time. For example, the PAC EX100 Silent (700W) operating for 6 hours a day at €0.334/kWh would cost approximately €1.40 per day.
Are air conditioners noisy?
No. De'Longhi units operate quietly, with noise levels typically between 40-53 dB(A), comparable to a library (40 dB(A)) rather than a jet engine (120 dB(A)).
