Portable aircon

[_Cathy_]

Go for the long-term solution and get a proper AC installed.

You may encounter maintenance/repair issues with a portable AC. Most of the AC guys here are used to window- and split- types, they may not be as adept with portables. You also don't know if there are spare parts available. Especially if you buy a China brand with no local service, you'll end up trashing the entire unit.

i solved the drain issue by attaching a hose from the drain to the nearest drainhole. In your case it seems awkward to snake a tube all the way to your bathroom.

get a window type AC.

Thank you mga mam/sir for the inputs. I'll get the split type na lang. Saw a youtube video re: installation maliit lang naman pala bubutasan. Kaso ang sakit sa bangs makita bubutasan wall ng one of the rooms hahaha. Sobra init kasi talaga now kaya having an aircondition nowadays is a necessity.

Kung ayaw mo butasan pader padaanin na lang sa ceiling para yun ceiling sa loob and labas lang meron butas, back to back din naman pero Re route lang mga linya patataas then baba ulit

Another option is to have a window modified to accept a window type aircon.

Madali naman i-patch up yung butas sa pader just in case you decide to remove the split type.

But with this weather I bet di mo na iisipin yung butas pag nakabit na yung AC.

Pag ganitong p3st3ng init,- wala na akong pakialam sa butas sa pader.....

Ratratin ninyo na, please!..

What a timely thread. I was actually looking at online ads for a portable A/C. But I have a different use case.

With summer here, I'd like to cool my IT "cupboard"-type cabinet at home. It's around 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.2 meters (W x H x D) or just roughly 3 m³ in volume.

All equipment (3x servers, switch, monitor, AP, and other ancillary components) consumes around 250W, ±20%. That roughly translates to around 850 BTU/hr of generated heat. In fact, just within the month, one of the servers which is installed quite near to the ceiling crashed showing an amber health LED indicating that it has preemptively shutdown due to overheating. Moving the server is not an option so I will have to cool down the whole space during the summer.

I am looking into designing a small A/C out of automotive A/C components. Does anyone (or do you know somebody) who has ever succeeded in fabricating such?

why car a/c? afaik your typical car a/c compressor is a lot more powerful than a typical window-type a/c. why not just rig up a small 0.6HP window type?

or do watercooling for the processors
