Portable air conditioners work by taking in warm air from the room, cooling it using a refrigeration cycle, and then releasing the cooled air back into the room. While traditional air conditioners require a window for ventilation to release hot air outside, portable air conditioners use a hose to expel the hot air through a nearby window or a drop ceiling. This allows them to operate effectively without a permanent window installation.
