Tips to place your Infiniton portable air conditioner
Use more frigories than theoretically necessary
Normally, when it comes to split type devices, we usually recommend equipment capable of providing
between 100 and 140 frigories per square metre to be covered. In the case of a portable device, we can
recommend a little more than 140 frigories per square metre without fear of overdoing it.
So, for a room of about 20 square metres where 2,000 or 2,500 frigories would normally be sufficient, we
should opt for a model that achieves at least 3,000 frigories if we want equivalent performance.
Make sure it is on a well levelled floor and on a carpet.
Noise is one of the main drawbacks of portable air conditioners and one way to help reduce the noise
they produce is to place it on a carpet or insulating surface. This way, every time the compressor starts,
unwanted vibrations are not transmitted directly to the floor, but are partially dampened.
Whenever possible, try to avoid placing the unit right in the corners of a room, as this position will excite
low-frequency standing waves that will further increase the noise of the appliance. It should also be well
shimmed so that it does not vibrate constantly.
Keep the air outlet pipe as short as possible.
One of the main reasons for the ineffectiveness of this type of air conditioner is the ducting responsible
for removing the hot air from the room. They are usually made of uninsulated plastic and dissipate part
of the heat in the room, heating the room to be cooled.
They are usually retractable tubes with some flexibility for easy fitting in any type of window, but as far as
possible we should try to use the shortest possible tube lengths to minimise the heat radiation surface in
the room.
In addition, corners should be minimised, because every corner is an obstacle to the air outlet, which will
reduce the performance of the equipment.
Don't install in front of a door or window
Since air must be continuously drawn out of the room to the street, a pressure difference occurs, which
creates an airflow that flows from the room or surrounding corridors. To prevent these draughts from
bringing air in from outside or into another warm room, try not to place the air directly against a poorly
insulated door (which homes often do not have) or uninsulated windows. If we do this, it is easy to check
how warm air is coming in from outside by outside by reaching into the cracks of poorly insulated doors
and windows, which will prevent us from reaching the desired temperature faster and keeping the com-
pressor running, which means more noise.
