ecoFlow Wave 2: The Portable Air Conditioning

Introduction

Ecoflow doesn’t stop. Picture this, after batteries and the portable cooler capable of making ice in 12 minutes, the Chinese company might chill the competition with this new product: a portable air conditioner running on battery, yes, you read that right, a portable, autonomous air conditioning unit capable of providing both cool and warm air.

Allow Me to Briefly (Re)Introduce EcoFlow

Specializing in the design of portable and sustainable energy solutions, EcoFlow is a company founded by former engineers from DJI, a pioneer in the drone industry. The company’s purpose is to provide clean and efficient energy devices for consumers and businesses worldwide.

We have previously featured several products from the EcoFlow range on our website. Among them are portable solar power generators such as the Delta Mini, energy stations like the Ecoflow Delta Pro, as well as the latest Ecoflow refrigerator cooler and backup batteries suitable for various situations such as camping, emergencies, outdoor events, or daily use. EcoFlow products stand out for their ease of use, compact size, lightness, and significant power capacity.

Moreover, EcoFlow is firmly committed to innovation, especially in the fields of battery technologies and fast charging. Their batteries recharge faster than many of their competitors in the market. They are constantly striving to improve the energy efficiency of their products and reduce the carbon footprint associated with their use.

Finally, their products are designed to be Plug & Play, meaning they are ready to use. You don’t need to be a solar energy expert to use them: they are extremely user-friendly.

Is it a Revolutionary Air Conditioning?

You might discover a (small) innovation with this autonomous Ecoflow Wave 2 air conditioning unit. This device manages to combine both air conditioning and portable heating without requiring ANY installation, which has already been the strength of Ecoflow for their other products, and the company continues to innovate in this direction, focusing on ease of use.

With its heating performance of 6100 BTU* and cooling performance of 5100 BTU*, the Ecoflow Wave 2 is truly ideal for caravans, tents, trucks, boats, and even for small off-grid structures. Imagine yourself in a garden shed converted into an office; the Ecoflow Wave 2 can easily cool and heat this room.

Now, you might ask, what does 6100 BTU and 5100 BTU correspond to? The British thermal unit (Btu or BTU) is a unit of energy measurement used in some English-speaking countries. To give you a simpler idea, it’s the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit, while keeping the pressure constant at one atmosphere.

As you can see, theoretically, the air conditioning unit can cool and heat an area ranging from 0 to 25m². However, in practice, it is typically rated for 10m², which is still quite impressive for a machine of this size.

In a Compact Size

Yes, because we are talking about a device that weighs only 14.5 kg without the additional battery, the EcoFlow Wave 2 is easily portable and compact. It has been designed for use anywhere and anytime.

Similar to most of the battery range, it can be recharged by AC power, solar panel, car (cigarette lighter socket), or power station.

In Eco mode, powered by an additional battery, the EcoFlow Wave 2 can operate for up to 9.6 hours* (note that actual results may vary depending on tests). With these performance capabilities, you will have one of the most durable autonomous air conditioning units on the market.

Performance and Efficiency

Thanks to its integrated inverter compressor with advanced algorithms, the EcoFlow Wave 2 offers exceptional air conditioning performance. It features three operating modes, including a quick mode, a sleep mode which is particularly important in a nomadic life where even the slightest noise can disrupt your sleep, and finally an eco mode, providing autonomy ranging from 2.3 hours to 9.6 hours respectively.

The EcoFlow Wave 2 is also capable of quickly switching from heating/cooling mode to fan mode. In Eco mode, utilizing EcoFlow’s exclusive technology, the intelligent battery distribution algorithm allows the device to balance between cooling and fan mode, providing you with a much longer operating time.

More Than Just an Air Conditioning

The EcoFlow Wave 2 doesn’t just cool or heat you, it also features an additional battery with a capacity of 1159Wh. This provides up to 9.6 hours of operation in Eco mode. With this battery, the places where you can use the EcoFlow Wave 2 are limitless, even in the event of a power outage. Similar to the cooler, the air conditioning unit can also serve as a power source for your devices; in fact, the additional battery includes 2 output ports (USB A & USB C). This additional battery can be independently charged via the XT150 port, offering increased versatility and autonomy.

Easy Installation and Minimal Maintenance

The EcoFlow Wave 2 is designed to be simple and hassle-free. In fact, condensation water is automatically directed to a heat tube for evaporation. In cooling mode, as long as the humidity is below 95%, there is no need to drain the condensation water. In heating mode, users need to drain the water through a hose. It’s a small feat that the engineers have achieved here; personally, in my apartment, I had to go empty out trays of air conditioning condensate!

Who is this Air Conditioning for?

Ecoflow achieves the miracle for every van traveler, camper, or nomad, simply helping them to have good nights in a world that keeps warming up. Honestly, the price of a camper air conditioning unit + installation is very expensive. And sometimes, it’s only used for a few weeks per month, depending on the destinations. Ecoflow really fills a gap here; this portable air conditioning unit can travel from your home to your recreational vehicle, and you won’t feel like you’ve bought a product you never use!
