Why can't a window air condition be installed in a sleeve?

A window already has a casing around it to protect and allow condenser venting. An air conditioner that is made for a sleeve has no protective shell around it, so if you put a window air conditioner in a sleeve you will not get good air circulation from the fan that cools off the condenser. That will result in high pressure at the compressor, high temperature at the condenser and high temperature at the evaporator. This will result in poor cooling and probable compressor failure which will allow you to go out and buy an air conditioner that is designed for a sleeve.
