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 Yemen that is Public Electricity Corporation (PEC), Ministry of Electricity and Energy. 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.
