Portable Air Conditioner Usage Tips
For optimal cooling of your portable air
conditioner we recommend the following steps:
- Keep
the exhaust hose as short as possible. This will make the air conditioner
unit more efficient.
- Run
the unit on the low fan speed as many units are not able to effectively cool
the air when it is blowing too hard on high speed.
- Insulate
the exhaust hose if it is extended to reduce heat emitted from the hose.
- Select an air conditioner that has a higher capacity for the rated room size.
You don't want to be without cooling capacity during a hotter than normal
day
- Always select a higher
BTU unit if there is a heat source such as direct sunlight or computer servers in a
computer room.
- Assuming there is no additional heat source here are
the size of rooms each BTU range can cool:
- 14,000 BTU: up to 475 sq ft
- 12,000
BTU: up to 350 sq ft
- 10,000
BTU: up to 250 sq ft
- 9,000
BTU: up to 200 sq ft
