Portable air conditioners are fantastic devices that can provide effective cooling for your home or office. These small cooling unit models can sit in the corner of your living room and provide a constant flow of cool air during those scorching hot days.<\/p>\n

But how does a portable air conditioner work? These devices are relatively complex, but they do have a simple operation that we have explained below. We have also provided a range of tips for your benefit so you can get the most from your AC unit and use it properly – enjoy!<\/p>\n

Understanding Portable Air Conditioners – The Three Basic Functions<\/h2>\n

To understand portable AC units, we can break their function down into three main processes: pulling hot air from the room, cooling the hot air, and venting excess hot air. This trio of processes forms the cornerstone of how air conditioner units work. We look at these air conditioner features below:<\/p>\n

1. Pull Hot Air From the Room<\/h3>\n

Firstly, the portable air conditioners<\/a> must have warm air to cool. Without a constant intake of warm air<\/strong>, the portable AC unit has nothing to cool! Inside the air conditioning units, there is a fan. This intake fan spins incredibly fast and draws hot air from the room where the air conditioning unit is positioned.<\/p>\n

For the fan and whole cooling system to work, the portable air conditioner<\/a> must be plugged into a mains power<\/strong> outlet. Typically, a 115 to a 120-volt<\/strong> outlet is needed for the power source. This is also something you must bear in mind when choosing an air conditioning system – the amount of electricity it will use and what it will cost.<\/p>\n
