Dimplex DPAC901 2.6kW Portable Air Conditioner with Dehumidifier
Designed to cool rooms up to 26m² whilst controlling humidity levels, delivering comfortable indoor air quality all year round.
Irish summers are becoming increasingly unpredictable, with heatwaves and high humidity creating uncomfortable indoor conditions. The Dimplex DPAC901 addresses both challenges in one compact unit, offering powerful cooling alongside effective dehumidification for homes and offices that need flexible climate control.
Built to tackle rooms between 16-26 square metres, this portable solution delivers 2.6kW of cooling power without requiring permanent installation. The integrated dehumidifier function helps reduce moisture levels year-round, making it particularly valuable in Ireland's naturally humid climate where condensation and stuffiness can be persistent issues.
Two essential functions in one portable unit - cooling power when you need it, humidity control when you don't.
HOME OFFICES
Keep productive during hot spells with targeted cooling and humidity control for your workspace
HUMID SPACES
Combat excess moisture in bedrooms, living rooms or areas prone to condensation problems
SEASONAL RELIEF
Portable solution for occasional cooling needs without permanent air conditioning installation
DUAL FUNCTION OPERATION
Auto cooling and dehumidifying modes work independently or together, giving you precise control over both temperature and humidity levels in your space.
2.6KW COOLING CAPACITY
Powerful 9,000 BTU/h output effectively cools rooms up to 26m², with performance optimised for typical Irish home layouts and ceiling heights.
24-HOUR PROGRAMMABLE TIMER
Set cooling schedules to match your daily routine, ensuring comfortable temperatures when you need them whilst managing energy consumption efficiently.
PORTABLE DESIGN
Easily move between rooms as needed, with integrated wheels and handles for convenient repositioning throughout your home.
REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
Full function remote allows you to adjust settings, switch modes and set timers from across the room for maximum convenience.
WINDOW EXHAUST SYSTEM
Includes exhaust hose for efficient heat removal through standard windows, ensuring optimal cooling performance without permanent modifications.
Designed for Irish Climate Conditions
The DPAC901's 2.6kW capacity is specifically sized for medium-sized rooms common in Irish homes. Working efficiently in temperatures between 18-32°C, it handles both mild summer days and intense heatwave conditions. The unit's cooling output adjusts automatically based on ambient temperature, ensuring consistent performance whether you're dealing with a warm June evening or an unexpected August scorcher.
The dual-function capability means you're not limited to summer use alone. Ireland's naturally high humidity levels can make spaces feel stuffy and uncomfortable even in cooler months, and the dedicated dehumidifier mode addresses this year-round challenge without the energy consumption of continuous cooling.
Programmable Comfort Control
The integrated 24-hour timer transforms this portable unit into a smart climate solution. Program it to start cooling your bedroom an hour before bedtime, or set it to dehumidify your home office before your morning work session. The auto modes eliminate guesswork by automatically switching between cooling and dehumidifying based on current conditions.
Remote control operation means you can fine-tune settings without leaving your chair, whilst the clear display shows current mode, temperature settings and timer status at a glance.
