115 Volt, Air-cooled Portable Air Conditioners
The most commonly used portable air conditioner, also known as a spot cooler, operates on standard house power (115 Volt AC) and are rated at or around 1 Ton. One ton equals 12,000 BTU. For a description of BTUs and how it applies to air conditioning, click Portable Air Conditioner Basics for more information.
Most customers use portable air conditioners whenever they have a short-term need to cool a space while their primary air conditioner is being repaired or when they need to cool an area that is too hot. That's where 1st Cooling&trade comes in! 1st Cooling provides effective climate control all over the US through our locations and network of companies.
Portable air conditioners also dehumidify the air. The moisture removed from air molecules by the evaporation process is called condensate. The condensate is usually drained into a 5-gallon container located inside the air conditioner. The container needs to be dumped one to two times each day (sometimes more) depending upon the humidity level in the space you are cooling/dehumidifying.
From commercial office spaces to industrial warehouses, hospitals and health care areas, and server rooms, 1st Cooling will assist you in deciding which model best fits your application.
One Ton portable air conditioners provide emergency cooling, spot cooling, or supplemental cooling where and when you need it. Our air-cooled units provide cold air that blows typically 15-20 feet from the front of where the unit is sitting. Since it is an air conditioner, hot air from the condenser coil must be exhausted somewhere out of the cooled space. The hot condenser air is exhausted through round flexible tubing (duct). Typically we exhaust the hot air through the ceiling plenum (the space above the suspended or drop ceiling tiles) through a piece of flexible duct similar to the silver duct that comes out of your clothes dryer (except much larger in diameter). The units can also be used outdoors for spot cooling your party or special event.
