External Water Tank Feature:

This unit is equipped with a secondary “External Water Tank” which sits on a support tray and easily attaches to the rear side of the unit by means of a quick connect fitting. The male quick connect is attached to the water tank, the female quick connect is attached to the back of the main unit. We recommend the external water tank be connected to the main unit at all times during both air conditioning and dehumidifying modes. These water tanks allow for the storage of excess accumulated condensed water produced during cooling/dehumidifying operation.

It is possible to operate the unit utilizing the “Internal” (primary) water tank only. (However, running time/operation maybe reduced during high humidity conditions) If the external water tank is not connected to the main unit, (excess) condensed water is automatically directed into the internal water tank. When the external water tank is utilized, (excess) condensed water is directed first into the external tank. When the external tank is full the water will then backflow into the internal tank.

Cooling Operation:

During air conditioning mode condensed water accumulates in a pre-cooler drip tray located underneath the evaporator (cooling) coil. When the water level reaches a predetermined level, the water flow is directed into a small (well) holding tank located at the bottom of the unit. When the water level in the well reaches a pre-determined level, a water pump is automatically activated that pumps the water upto the condenser coil and is subsequently cascaded across the fins of the condenser coil.

This showering action is very efficient in terms of;

1)Keeping the condenser coil cool during operation.

2)Provides maximum cooling efficiency.

As the water cascades across the heated fins of the condenser coil, it is evaporated. This process minimizes accumulated water from being stored in both holding tanks, which results in longer running times and less frequent emptying of the water tanks. This process is continuous during air conditioning mode only. NOTE: During high humidity conditions, if the rate of water being condensed exceeds the rate of water being evaporated, a solenoid valve automatically opens allowing for excess water to be directed into the holding tanks.

When the water level in the well returns to normal, the solenoid valve automatically closes and the water is again directed into well and the water pump continues normal operation. When the water level inside the external tank reaches it’s maximum level, the water will then backflow into the (primary) internal water tank. The water level inside the internal tank (only) is monitored/controlled by a float switch mechanism (safety shut-off) self-activated when the water level reaches a predetermined level, causing the unit to stop/cease operation automatically and the tanks will have to be emptied. The fan motor will continue to operate. (this is normal)

NOTE: The float switch mechanism (safety shut- off) is activated/controlled by the water level inside the (primary) internal water tank only.

NOTE:

•The quick connect fittings supplied with both the main unit and external water tank are "self sealing" connections.

•This means as soon as the quick connects are "disconnected", water flow between the main unit and external water tank

stops immediately.

External Water Tank Instructions:

DPAC10030 specifications

The Danby DPAC10030 is a powerful portable air conditioner designed for residential and small office environments, providing cooling relief during the hot summer months. With its sleek design and robust features, the DPAC10030 ensures comfort while offering efficient performance.

At the heart of the Danby DPAC10030 is its cooling capacity of 10,000 BTU, making it suitable for spaces up to 300 square feet. This ability allows it to cool down a room rapidly, providing immediate relief from heat. The unit operates quietly, which is ideal for bedrooms or study areas, ensuring that users can enjoy a peaceful environment without disruptive noise.

One of the standout features of the DPAC10030 is its innovative dual-hose system, which enhances its cooling efficiency. Unlike traditional single-hose models that draw in air from the room and vent it outside, the dual-hose design allows for one hose to pull the hot air out while the other brings in fresh air from outside. This not only cools the space more effectively but also helps maintain a more balanced indoor environment.

The Danby DPAC10030 comes equipped with user-friendly electronic controls, including an LED display that makes it easy to set your desired temperature and operating mode. It offers multiple fan speeds and cooling settings, allowing users to customize the environment to their preferences. Additionally, the unit features a 24-hour programmable timer, which enables users to control when the air conditioner turns on and off, conserving energy while ensuring comfort.

For those who prioritize energy efficiency, the DPAC10030 offers a commendable Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). Lower energy consumption translates to reduced electricity bills, making it an economically viable choice for cooling needs. The unit also includes a programmable thermostat that maintains your desired temperature with minimal effort.

In terms of mobility, the Danby DPAC10030 features built-in casters, allowing for easy movement from room to room, as well as side handles for convenience. The compact design ensures that it can fit through doorways without hassle.

Moreover, maintenance is straightforward with an easy-to-clean washable filter that helps trap dust and allergens, improving indoor air quality.

In summary, the Danby DPAC10030 is a versatile and efficient portable air conditioner that combines convenience and performance. Whether for home use or in a small office, its powerful cooling capabilities, user-friendly features, and energy-efficient technology make it an excellent choice for those seeking reliable relief from the heat.
