Portable air conditioners

Introduction
Portable air conditioners or Mobile air conditioners are the easiest route to true air conditioning in the small office or home. They can be installed easily, connecting into a 13 amp socket and are ready to use immediately. Portable air conditioners work by taking heat from a room and expelling it to the outside. Air inside the room is chilled and recirculated.

Two types of portable air conditioning systems are available, single units and split systems.

Single Portable Air Conditioners
These are instantly recognised by their exhaust hose which is used to expel the hot and damp air to the outside. Single units can cope with a wide range of room requirements

Split Portable Air Conditioners
For larger rooms or rooms that have bigger heat loads split systems are normally required. They are easily recognised by the separate condenser box that needs to be placed outside the room.
