How does your Pinguino work D uring the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature of around 24 °C and 50% relative humidity. An air conditioner removes moisture and heat from the room where it is located. One advantage of portable air conditioning units over fitted models is that they can be moved from one room to another in the home or even transferred between different buildings.
