NO! the compressor has oil in the crankcase similar to a car. The compressor relies on among other things gravity to return the oil back. There are window shakers out there that will fit your application, just not this one.

Yes, it's very wasy to install a window AC unit. Most single room AC units just need to be placed in the window opening and the cover flaps secured to the sides of the window sill with a couple screws and that's it. AC units are designed with a weight distribution which will support it's self in the window. There are bigger ones which require a support but those are easy to install as well. Instructions come with all new units.

It will not work, the ac unit needs to blow the heat removed from indoors to outdoors. Running a window ac unit without venting it outside will make the room hotter.


How do you recharge a window AC unit?

If there is not a pressure tap on the suction line(the larger pipe comming off of the compressor) you need to install a piercing valve with a 1/4" flare for the refrigerant hose and charge. Depending on the age of the window unit it might be worth buying a new one.
