15000BTU AIR CONDITIONING UNIT

Amcor PLMB 15KE-410 Portable Air Conditioning Unit: High-Capacity Cooling for Larger Spaces

The Amcor PLMB 15KE-410 is a powerful and versatile portable air conditioning unit engineered to deliver significant cooling and dehumidification performance for larger rooms and open-plan areas. Designed for robust operation, this unit offers an effective solution for maintaining comfortable temperatures and controlling humidity in both residential and commercial environments, particularly those up to 35-40 square metres.

Features

• High Cooling Capacity (15,000 BTU/h): The "15KE" in its name signifies a robust cooling capacity of 15,000 BTU/h (British Thermal Units per hour), which translates to approximately 4.4 kW of cooling power. This makes it highly effective for cooling large living rooms, open-plan offices, server rooms, or small commercial spaces.
• Dual Functionality (Cooling & Dehumidification): Beyond powerful cooling, the PLMB 15KE-410 also features a strong dehumidification mode, capable of extracting a significant amount of moisture from the air (e.g., up to 48 litres per day or 2 litres per hour). This helps to combat dampness, prevent mould growth, and improve overall air quality, especially in humid climates.
• Three-Speed Fan with Auto Mode: Offers multiple fan speeds (typically low, medium, high) to provide customizable airflow and cooling intensity. An "Auto" fan mode often automatically adjusts the fan speed based on the ambient room temperature and desired setting for optimal efficiency.
• Programmable 24-Hour Timer: Features a user-friendly programmable timer, allowing you to set the unit to switch on or off automatically according to your schedule. This enhances energy efficiency by ensuring the unit only operates when needed.
• Electronic Controls & Remote Control: Equipped with a clear digital display and electronic soft-touch controls for straightforward operation. A convenient remote control is also included, enabling effortless adjustment of settings from anywhere in the room.
• Self-Evaporative System: The unit incorporates a self-evaporative technology where much of the condensed water is re-used to cool the condenser coils before being exhausted with the hot air. This significantly reduces the need for manual drainage, making operation more convenient. However, in very high humidity conditions, a separate drainage point might still be required.
• Quiet Operation (Relative to Power): While a high-capacity unit, it is designed with features to minimize noise, typically operating within an acceptable range for its power output (e.g., around 55-65 dB(A)), though specific noise levels can vary.
• Portability & Mobility: Despite its powerful internal components, the unit is designed for portability. It typically features smooth-rolling castor wheels and integrated side handles for easy movement between rooms.
• R410A Refrigerant (Older Models): The "-410" in the model name indicates that older versions of this unit likely used R410A refrigerant. R410A was a common, non-ozone-depleting refrigerant, though newer units often use R32 for even lower Global Warming Potential (GWP).
• Window Kit Included: Usually supplied with an exhaust hose and a window kit (or window sealing plate) to vent the hot air outside, which is essential for effective cooling performance.

Applications

The Amcor PLMB 15KE-410 is well-suited for a range of applications requiring effective and portable climate control:

• Large Living Spaces: Cooling open-plan living rooms, dining rooms, or conservatories.
• Offices & Commercial Spaces: Providing cooling for large offices, retail shops, or small server rooms.
• Bedrooms: For powerful cooling in larger bedrooms.
• Temporary Cooling: Ideal for temporary structures, site offices, or event spaces where central air conditioning is unavailable.
• Dehumidification: Managing high humidity levels in damp basements, garages, or during post-flood recovery.
• Workshops: Improving comfort in larger workshops during hot weather.
