Do you currently have a large centralized air cooling system? Does it take up space in your house or in your office room where other things should be placed? Does your electric bill parachute in figures every month? Well, worry no more for portable air conditioning units are here to the rescue.
What are portable air conditioning units? These are products of the modern day, which are actually air cooling systems with wheels. Because of it being handy, transferring and using it from one room to another is of no trouble. Its relatively smaller size makes storage and installation easy and with less hassle. The space you wanted so much for your bookshelves can be placed on the spot where you want them without your system bothering you.
Portable air conditioning units are like other air cooling devices that operate on the principles of refrigeration. Here, the air around you is used to exchange heat. Just like the process of rain formation, air is taken out of heat by absorbing it then heat is given off as condensed water. The air then is being dehumidified as it is cooled. After condensing the heat, hot air is vented out of the cooled surrounding.
There are various portable air conditioning units today, which you can choose to your heart's desire. Currently available are those with capacities of 6,000 to 60,000 BTU/h (1,800 to 18,000 watts output). These units may come with or without electric resistance heaters. True portable air conditioners are of two kinds: split and hose. However, evaporative coolers also referred to as conditioners are also portable.
A split system portable air conditioning unit is composed of unit with wheels usually inside the room or building to be cooled and an outdoor unit that are composed of flexible pipes. The hose system on the other hand can be Air-to-Air or Monoblock systems. The hot air is usually vented outside through ducts. In the Monoblock type, a tray or a bucket is included in the system. These act as a collector of the condensed water. It also has built in detector that makes the operation stop once the bucket is full.
In this manner, your floor will never be flooded with water popping out of your air conditioning systems. The Air-to-Air type does not collect water in a bucket but re-evaporates the water and disposes it through the ducted hose. Ducts in Air-to-Air version usually have a single duct that collects air out. However, efficiency is lowered in this type because the air produced is replaced by hot air coming from outside the cooled area. In modern units though, this problem was arrested since modern units work in 1:3 ratio. For example to produce 3 kW of cooling, 1 kW of electricity is needed. In contrast, dual duct unit draws air from outside and cools it instead of using the air inside the room. This makes the unit more efficient in cooling the air.
So if you are planning to buy a new cooling system or thinking of replacing your old one? Think of portable air conditioning units. Its portability and cost efficiency pays off in the end.
