Cooling

Hello all, I am looking for a splash-proof fan for use in our loggia. The problem is that the hot air in the loggia (3 sides window, 1 side open to the front, but with glass railing all the way to the middle) accumulates in the summer and still "stands" in the loggia in the evening after sunset. With a fan, the stale air could be "blown out" and the area cooled down. The fan would have to be somewhat splash-proof - as it can partly rain into the loggia during heavy rain. Merci for your tips :)

Will Digitec Galaxus include the newly launched Porta Split air conditioner from Midea in its range?

Are there any good two-hose systems anywhere? They do not generate negative pressure in the flat and do not suck in warm air from outside.

Mobile split air conditioners are more effective than mobile air conditioners with a thick exhaust hose. It would be good if Galaxus also had these in its range. Of course, a permanently installed air conditioner is more effective and better. But like many people, I live in a rented flat where that is not possible. 8.07.2017 4.30 pm the outside temperature is 33C in the shade. In the flat, all the shutters are down and all the doors of the rooms are open. The outdoor unit of the mobile split air conditioner is on the balcony. The indoor unit (which makes an incredible amount of noise) is in the living room. I have a temperature below 23C in all rooms. When we are in the living room, the air conditioner is turned off because the noise is unbearable. I have a Sonnenkönig Fresco 153E which is unfortunately no longer manufactured. It has an EEI (Energy Efficiency Index) of 3.43 (cooling capacity 4980, power consumption 1450). The EEI is calculated by dividing the cooling capacity in watts by the power consumption in watts. All mobile air conditioners with a thick exhaust hose usually do not exceed an EEI of 2.8, which is why it would be good if Galaxus also offered mobile split air conditioners. Of course, these are much more expensive than mobile air conditioners. However, the customer of Galaxus should have the possibility to compare and decide how much he wants to spend for an air conditioner. I have had my mobile split air conditioner for 3 years and I paid CHF 1900. Yes, it's a lot of money for me too, but I don't regret it. Without air conditioning it was up to 30C in the flat now it is a temperature of below 23C.

It's summer again, so it's time to start up the portable air conditioner and every time I ask myself why there are still no two-hose air conditioners. It's 2022, energy efficiency is a bigger issue than ever everywhere but still (with the exception of one very expensive portable split) only extremely inefficient single hose units are sold. Why is that?
