Yes
Phil,
but as usual you usually get what you pay
for.
The
best solution
is a split system, that is, that the cooling unit (evaporator) is inside
and
the condenser is mounted outside on an exterior wall giving the cooling
outside
with all the heat being pumped outside. Mobile units work in exactly the
same
way but they get hot due to the fact that both elements are in the same
place. The
smart way to use a portable is put it in a cupboard and vent it out to the
room
you want to cool and vent the exhaust to the basement or
exterior.

Hi
all,
After
yesterday's TV discussion turned into an AirCon discussion, I wondered if
anyone out there has experience of portable AirCon units, do they work
well?
Reason
for my question, apart from the indicated 39C in the room that I'm in, is
that
I looked into AirCon some time ago, the postings I read on deja pooh-poohed
portable units as being not worth the money and didn't drop the temperature
by
more than 1-2C.
I
can't
stretch to having a system fitted into my loft, but a portable unit seems
appealing
just now, anyone had any success stories with these?
Cheers!
