Portable aircon

[reiman13]

Any suggestions for portable aircon? Yung reliable and di mabigat sa bulsa. Maglagay sana ako sa room ng baby ko and ayoko kasi magbutas. TIA!

Then where would the heat go? Normally the heat generated by the AC to cool a room/space should be dissipated outside. Wouldn't it be an added load for the portable AC system to cool the room also being heated by it?

Baby room? ... Be aware of the hazards of using portable air conditioners and coolers ...

Not sure how portable aircon system works. I see some of it sa Abenson and Lazada, baka merong naka portable aircon dito and I need some feedbacks sana.

Uy, good point! What are those sir?

meron ducting to expel the hot air which you have snake through a window. these portable things are very inefficient but they do work if you don't mind wasting lots of energy

meron ako. Gingamit ko lang pag meron event sa bahay. Meron mga fittings na kasama for the xhaust pwede mo install sa ceiling para Isaksak na lang doon yun exhaust pwede din ipit sa sliding window pero open yun window unless papasadya mo yun exacto lang para doon sa bracket ng exhaust para closed pa rin yun window.

I'm talking about real portable a/c ha not yun air cooler lang.

Problema lang kailangan itapon yun condensation so mag stop siya pag puno na ng tubig. Istorbo.

Kaya kung sa Room ng baby mo pag kabit ka na lang ng split type kung ayaw mo mag butas.

kung maliit lang ang room, meron naman available na ventless... kaso just like the single vent solution, medyo alangan ako.

kung dual hose naman, medyo mahal.

Another option would be to grab a room dehumidifier. The discomfort from hot summer days is less from heat, more from humidity. With dry heat, sweat evaporates quickly. With high humidity, the air is saturated with water, sweat evaporation is slower....hindering the body's natural cooling system. This causes uneasiness, stickiness....& temper tantrums.[emoji2957]
ACs have 2 functions...to dry & cool the room air, hence, they drip water.
Opting for a dehumidifier & a good ceiling fan, instead, can save you energy & moolah.....The heat can actually be bearable, enjoyable.[emoji4]

if the aircon will stay there and be used for a long period, as in, while the baby is growing, i strongly recommend na magbutas na kayo. split aircons offer smaller butases.
portables are so in-efficient.

magbutas is not that difficult, and will probably not weaken your wall. a well-designed butas will not leak during heavy rains, either.
the most difficult part is probably seeing the process of butas-ing. especially if one is a newbie to butas-ing. i have had it done several times, and i assure you, it ain't fatal. heh heh.

good luck.

Go for the long-term solution and get a proper AC installed.

You may encounter maintenance/repair issues with a portable AC. Most of the AC guys here are used to window- and split- types, they may not be as adept with portables. You also don't know if there are spare parts available. Especially if you buy a China brand with no local service, you'll end up trashing the entire unit.

i solved the drain issue by attaching a hose from the drain to the nearest drainhole. In your case it seems awkward to snake a tube all the way to your bathroom.

get a window type AC.

Thank you mga mam/sir for the inputs. I'll get the split type na lang. Saw a youtube video re: installation maliit lang naman pala bubutasan. Kaso ang sakit sa bangs makita bubutasan wall ng one of the rooms hahaha. Sobra init kasi talaga now kaya having an aircondition nowadays is a necessity.

Kung ayaw mo butasan pader padaanin na lang sa ceiling para yun ceiling sa loob and labas lang meron butas, back to back din naman pero Re route lang mga linya patataas then baba ulit

Another option is to have a window modified to accept a window type aircon.

[Wh1stl3r]

Madali naman i-patch up yung butas sa pader just in case you decide to remove the split type.

But with this weather I bet di mo na iisipin yung butas pag nakabit na yung AC.

Pag ganitong p3st3ng init,- wala na akong pakialam sa butas sa pader.....

Ratratin ninyo na, please!..

What a timely thread. I was actually looking at online ads for a portable A/C. But I have a different use case.

With summer here, I'd like to cool my IT "cupboard"-type cabinet at home. It's around 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.2 meters (W x H x D) or just roughly 3 m³ in volume.

All equipment (3x servers, switch, monitor, AP, and other ancillary components) consumes around 250W, ±20%. That roughly translates to around 850 BTU/hr of generated heat. In fact, just within the month, one of the servers which is installed quite near to the ceiling crashed showing an amber health LED indicating that it has preemptively shutdown due to overheating. Moving the server is not an option so I will have to cool down the whole space during the summer.

I am looking into designing a small A/C out of automotive A/C components. Does anyone (or do you know somebody) who has ever succeeded in fabricating such?

why car a/c? afaik your typical car a/c compressor is a lot more powerful than a typical window-type a/c. why not just rig up a small 0.6HP window type?

or do watercooling for the processors
