How do you vent a portable air conditioner?
Portable air conditioners come with a vent hose that can be placed in a nearby window or vented through a hole in the wall like your clothes dryer.
Can you use a portable air conditioner in a box trailer and vent direvtly through the ceiling vents?
Is it possible? Yes. Being worthwhile is a different matter, especially since a portable AC unit will not have the tonnage that a permanent AC unit would, and thus will take much longer to cool a building.
Do you have to vent a portable air conditioner when it heats?
According to portable air conditioning suppliers, Mobile Air, all air conditioners have to be vented. But, there are different ways to "vent" the heat. The first way to vent is using water-cooled air conditioners. This type of unit uses water to cool the heat generated and requires a water source and drain. Mobile Air's website, , states that water cooled AC is required if the ambient temperature exceeds 115 degrees F. The second way to vent the heat produced is by using air. Air venting is done by using duct work to vent the hot air outside or by placing the unit outside to vent right into the air. This type is a bit more portable than water cooled.
Can you vent a portable air conditioner into a warehouse open area?
no
Do portable air conditioners have to be vented?
Yes. There is a coil that goes to the inside to cool. The other end will have a coil that puts out the heat to the outside through a vent. Without the vent, the heat will simply be released back into the room.
How to Know if a Portable Air Conditioner Do The Job?
A portable air conditioner is a self-contained unit that will cool a space without needing to be either permanently or semi-permanently installed. Permanent units are whole-house and through- the-wall air conditioning units. Semi-permanently installed units are window units that can be moved, though they are not meant to be moved often. A portable air conditioner can be taken from room to room as needed, as long as there is an available window to attach the vent to. Portable unit BTU ratings do not cool as effectively as a window unit of the same rating. If an 8,000 BTU window unit is known to cool a room well even on the hottest days, a 10,000 BTU portable air conditioner is most likely not going to be able to effectively do the same job. The issues are the speed and size of the built-in fan, the size of the evaporator coil (the cold coil), and the fact that the hot side (condenser coil) are all contained in the unit. Portable air conditioner units have a flexible vent that is attached to the unit which will carry away the heat of the condenser coil to the outside through an available window. Whereas a window unit has the coil already facing outside with the heat of the coil being isolated from the cold coil inside, the portable air conditioner has everything in one unit that is inside the room. Some heat escapes from the unit itself into the room and also heat radiates from the flexible vent tube that attaches to the window. This heat fights against the cooling. If a portable unit is chosen that far exceeds the BTU rating needed for a room or area, the consumer will usually be happy with the performance. However, keep in mind that a portable air conditioner will have a container of water that will have to be emptied several times a day. The water is humidity in the air that is evaporated out as the room air flows over the cold coil. Units can be attached to a drain, but most rooms such as living rooms and bedrooms where the units will be used do not have a drain. Plus, portable units cost significantly more than a comparable window unit.
How do you install a portable air conditioner not vented outside?

Where is the Oldsmobile flasher?
The turn-signal flasher on my 2001 Olds Intrigue is the same unit as the hazard warning unit. The part number is GM 10401280. you can access to and replace it through the center vent air deflector. You can use a small flat screw driver to open the top clip of the vent deflector to remove the vent. The Hazard Warning Switch Turn Signal Flasher will be visible on the left.
Can you wet vent a sewage ejector pump or is it better to run vent to outside through side of house provided there's no windows or air intakes near vent location you will install vent cap at exit wall?
No you cannot wet vent an ejector pump and no you cannot vent through a side wall. It must go through the roof.
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.
