Figures on this page are the manufacturer's own, measured at the test conditions the datasheet states — they do not change by country. What changes is the approval that has to be met before the unit is energised: in Saudi Arabia that is SEC, ECRA, SASO. Confirm the grid code, import requirements and any local certification with them, or with us, before you order.
Key Features & Technical Highlights
- Fed by three to four panels: A series string of 330 W modules at 80-380 V DC drives the unit directly, drawing under 10 A. The 208-240 V single-phase line stays as backup.
- 12,000 BTU for 12-20 m²: Rated 3,510 W of cooling at T1 for 940 W drawn, an EER of 3.75/12.75. Output modulates between 3,000 and 13,300 BTU as the room load moves.
- 14,000 BTU of heating too: Reverse-cycle heating rated 4,100 W at a COP of 3.50/11.95, so the same unit covers cold nights instead of a second appliance.
- Under 42.5 dB indoors: A BLDC 15 W indoor fan with four speeds from 350 to 540 m³/h keeps the room side quiet; the outdoor unit stays below 52 dB.
- AC limiter, 0 to 600 W: The grid draw can be capped anywhere between 0 and 600 W, so the AC side never asks for more than the supply behind it can give.
- Three to six panel string: The 80-380 V DC input takes three to six 330 W modules in series, so the array can be sized to the roof rather than to a fixed count.
- 17,300 BTU across 20-30 m²: 5,070 W of cooling at T1 for 1,400 W drawn, an EER of 3.60/12.35, with output tracking the load between 4,100 and 20,400 BTU.
- 20,800 BTU of heat in winter: The reverse cycle is rated 6,100 W at a COP of 3.45/11.75, enough for the same 20-30 m² room it cools in summer.
- 20 m of pipe reach: The outdoor unit can sit up to 20 m away with 10 m of level difference, on 1/2 in gas and 1/4 in liquid lines. Four metres of pipe and 5 m of wire are supplied.
- 980 m³/h, under 46 dB: A BLDC 45 W indoor fan gives four airflow steps from 620 to 980 m³/h while the room side stays below 46 dB.
- 22,000 BTU for 30-42 m²: 6,450 W of cooling at T1 for 1,790 W drawn, an EER of 3.60/12.30, modulating from 6,100 up to 27,000 BTU as the hall fills.
- Up to eight 330 W panels: The series string can run from three to eight modules inside the 80-380 V DC window, so a bigger roof buys more solar hours on the same unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What room size is the DGA2-ACDCBLW-12K rated for?
Deye gives it an application area of 12 to 20 m², which covers a typical bedroom, a home office or a small shop floor. Beyond 20 m² the 17,300 BTU DGA1-ACDCBLW-18K takes over.
How many solar panels does the DGA2-ACDCBLW-12K need?
Three to four 330 W modules wired in series. The DC input works over 80-380 V at under 10 A, so the string voltage has to land inside that window.
Can it run when the sun is not on the array?
It also accepts a single-phase 208-240 V, 50/60 Hz supply, so mains covers the hours the panels cannot. How much it may draw from that side is set by the 0-600 W AC power limiter.
How does it hold up in Gulf summer heat?
It carries a T3 as well as a T1 climate rating and works from -10 to 58 °C. At T3 it returns 2,910 W, or 9,900 BTU, for 1,050 W of input, an EER of 2.75/9.45.
How far apart can the indoor and outdoor units be?
Up to 15 m of refrigerant pipe with a level difference of no more than 8 m. Three metres of pipe and 4 m of connection wire are supplied; the gas and liquid lines are 3/8 in and 1/4 in.
Will the DGA1-ACDCBLW-18K cool a full living room?
It is rated for 20 to 30 m², which is a typical living room or majlis. Smaller rooms are better served by the 12,000 BTU DGA2-ACDCBLW-12K, and above 30 m² by the 22,000 BTU DGA1-ACDCBLW-24K.
How big a PV array does the DGA1-ACDCBLW-18K want?
Three to six modules of 330 W in series. The string has to sit inside the 80-380 V DC window, and the unit draws under 10 A from it.
What does it deliver in T3 heat?
In T3 conditions the unit produces 4,290 W, or 14,700 BTU, drawing 1,630 W for an EER of 2.65/9.00. Its working range runs from -10 to 58 °C.
Does it heat as well as cool?
Yes. Rated heating is 6,100 W, modulating between 1,200 and 6,800 W, for 1,770 W of input at a COP of 3.45/11.75.
How much moisture does it remove?
1.7 L/h of condensate, drained through a 16 mm pipe. An electronic expansion valve meters the R410A charge so the coil keeps dehumidifying at part load.
