No, you can not put ice into a portable air conditioner. I think you are actually referring to a portable air cooler, in which case, you can put ice into the water chamber.

Can you put ice in front of air conditioner?
Yes you can put ice in front of your air conditioner. And as a matter of fact, for each ton of ice that you use up, you will have gotten a ton of cooling done. This is the origin of the term "Ton" as it is applied to cooling. A ton of cooling is 12,000 btuh. So if you use up a ton of ice per hour, it will give you the same cooling effect as a 12,000btuh window air conditioner!
Does a portable cooling fan cool the air?
If it is just a fan, it will not cool it, it will simply blow the air around. To cool the air, you need a portable air conditioner. This will suck air in, cool it down, vent the hot air out (usually through the window, but can also be vented out through the roof or into a different room) and put the remaining cool air back into your room.
Why is glass a good insulator for ice?
It's not. When you put ice in a glass the glass quickly becomes cold. Glass actually is a good insulator because in the summer when you have the air conditioner on in your house, glass keeps the hot air out and the cool air in.
Use a Portable Air Conditioner in any Climate?
A portable air conditioner makes it easy to have cool air in any part of your house or office. They are usually designed to roll from room to room, and they take up very little space. All you need is a window to allow the hot air to escape, and you can have an air conditioned room any day or night. Benefits in a Hot Climate Most homes and offices in warm climates are equipped with central air conditioning that delivers cold air through vents in each room. The trouble with central air conditioning is that it has a tendency to break down when it is used excessively. If you have a portable air conditioner as a backup, you won’t have to suffer through days of unbearable heat while you wait for the repairman to fix your central air conditioner unit. You can keep the portable air conditioner in the room you stay in the most, and maintain a comfortable temperature all day. Benefits in a Mild Climate Even the mildest climate experiences heat waves every now and then. If you live in an area that doesn’t usually experience much heat, you will not be ready for the intense discomfort that heat brings. A portable air conditioner is the perfect answer if you only need to cool a room for a week or two every year. Portable air conditioners are not very expensive, but they can provide much needed relief during the warmest parts of the year. The Convenience of Easy Storage No matter what kind of climate you live in, it is unlikely that you will need to use your portable air conditioner all of the time. The convenient small size and shape of portable air conditioners makes them very easy to store away until you need them again. You can put them in a closet or a garage and forget about them until the heat starts to rise once more. Portable air conditioners are very durable, and will last for years if they are cleaned regularly. If you store a portable air conditioner in a garage, you may find that you like to use it to cool the garage when you are working out there.
