What is a
Portable Room Air Conditioner?
A portable room
air conditioner is an air conditioner that is mobile. Unlike
window, through-the-wall, or central air conditioning units,
portable air conditioners do not require permanent installation,
the quick installation is the main attraction vs its other air
conditioner family members…. Commonly, these units have caster
wheels for easy movement and are between 2 ½ to 3 ft tall a
weight between 50 to 90 pounds
Portable Room Air Conditioners do however require venting
through one or two exhaust hoses so the unit must be w/in 5 feet
of a single or double hung window or sliding window. The
installation can be easily installed with a window kit or to
another location. When searching for a portable Air Conditioner
there are many model that vary in cooling capabilities,
condensation removal, controls and noise and efficiency.
Not
only do portable air conditioners cool the surrounding air, they
also dehumidify - keeping the air both cool and comfortably dry.
Perhaps the most important thing
to determine when choosing a portable air conditioner is the
size needed. An air conditioner that is too small will not be
able to keep up with cooling demand. |

What
size portable room air conditioner do I need.
The cooling capacity of
an air conditioner is measured in British Thermal Units (BTU),
and the capacity you require depends mostly on the size of the
room you need to cool. If you buy an air conditioner that is to
small for the room it will not cool adequately. If you buy one
that is too large, the air conditioner will cool the room before
it dehumidifies and this can leave you feeling clammy. For
larger areas, sometimes two smaller units are more efficient
than 1 large unit.

Make
any adjustments for the following circumstances:
(energystar.org)
Heavily shaded rooms,
Reduce capacity by 10%.
Very sunny rooms,
Increase capacity by 10%.
If more than 2 people regularly occupy the
room, add 600 BTUs for each additional person.
If the unit is used in a kitchen, increase
capacity by 4,000 BTUs.
Consider where you
install the unit. If you are mounting an air conditioner near
the corner of a room, look for a unit that can send the airflow
in the right direction.

Venting / Exhausting
Do portable
air conditioners require venting?
Yes, all portable air conditioners
require some type of ventilation. It is important that you vent
the hot air outside of the room you are trying to cool.
Our entire
units comes with hoses to vent the exhaust and window filler
kits to allow you to properly vent out of most windows. However,
you do not need to vent the hot air out a window. The window
venting kits also fit most sliding glass doors ( if you make
modifications , or you may make a custom modification and vent
the exhaust through a wall do not install exhaust hose into a
drop ceiling or anything that does not vent outside
|
Can't I
just let the portable air conditioner run without a vent?
Portable air conditioners are designed to operate with a vent.
Your going to be able to cool the
room because front of the machine would blow cold air, but the
back of the
machine will blow hot air….The two
air streams will mix and you will be
