Aqua Chill Technology
When operating in Cool Mode this unit uses a self-evaporative system that extracts water from humid
environments and collects it in an internal water tank.
Once sufficient water is collected it is recycled over the condenser, assisting to cool the condenser and
internal refrigerant gas faster than only air. Cooler condenser and refrigerant, means improved cooling
efficiency and performance of the unit.
Some of the water recycled over the compressor is evaporated and expelled from the machine as water
vapour through the flexible exhaust hose.
During very humid conditions the collection of water may be in excess of the evaporation rate and the
internal water tank may become full and cause the float and micro switch inside the water tank to trigger the
WATER FULL
indicator. In this instance the compressor will shut off automatically, and the fan motor will
stay circulating the air. A buzzer will sound every 5 minutes until the water tank is drained (refer to the
drainage section).
Adding Water
To utilise the full potential of the cool mode of your portable air-
conditioner, we recommend approx 1800mls of water be added
to the water injection port (located to the right of the handle)
just prior to initial start up.
Normally an adequate quantity of water is collected to keep the
recycling process operating. However, if there is insufficient
condensing water for the Aqua Chill function to start, the
Water
Injection
indicator on the control panel will illuminate. When
this occurs, pour approx 1800mls of water into the water
injection port (see Figure 9.) and the water injection indicator
will turn off.
Fig. 9
In high temperatures (over 30
0
C) or dry climates, adding water to commence the Aqua Chill mode will greatly
assist the efficiency and operating temperature of the unit, but is not critical to the functioning of the unit.
Please ensure that you do not over-fill the unit or the water tank full indicator may be triggered.
Do not fill the water injection port while in dry, fan or heat modes.
Please Note: Adding water is not a requirement for this unit to function normally. If you choose not to
add water to this unit it will not adversely affect the warranty or its regular performance.
