Best Answer

Theoretically yes, but you can be more effective with two in some respects because you can spread the cooling, if the unit isn't powerful enough to cool the entire area and it's contents, then you can at least spot-cool two small areas.

Having said that, it's better to provide enough cooling for the entire area.

There's a cooling sizing guide in my related link. I would say two 12,000 BTU portable units are probably far cheaper than one 24,000 BTU, maybe even three... So you could get more cooling out of small cheap ones probably.
