Are there any special requirements for the use of portable air
conditioners?
|
 |
Yes. Access to either an opening window, external door or suspended
ceiling is essential in order that the hot air exhaust can be ducted
out by either a flexible hose or a condenser box. The hose is supplied
in standard lengths, extension hoses can be used if required.

How do I install my Portable Air Conditioner?
|
|
The 'hose extension' type of Air Conditioner, the vast majority
do not need any special instructions other than placing the exhaust
hose out of the window - All you need to do is switch it on. If
you are ducting through a suspended ceiling void then simply push
the hose into the void. Some of the more powerful portable units
comprise an internal condenser box which can be placed by an open
window or through a doorway.

Do Portable Air Conditioners need to be filled with water?
|
|
The units supplied by CW INSTANT COOL do not. However, be
warned, many of the Air Conditioning units supplied by other companies
do require frequent filling with water - (2/3 times daily ) which
office staff find a nuisance.

How do I estimate my Portable Air Conditioning requirements?
|
|
Air conditioners are rated in BTu's (British Thermal Units) Working
out your Btu requirements is simple. Using a calculator, follow
these instructions:
 Multiply
the Length by the Breadth by the Height of
the room to be air-conditioned. This will give you the cubic capacity
of the room.- Multiply the cubic capacity of the room by 4. This will give you
the Btu requirements of the room.
If you're taking your measurements in metres, all you do is multiply
the cubic metres by 141.
Please go to the Cool Calculator
to perform this calculation.
