  • Are you thinking about those things you see in USA windows?

    Real air con relies on separate units. One is taking the air in the room to heat/cool over the coil, the other dumps the cooled/heated gas outside via the other coil.

    'Portable air conditioning' doesn't exist. Sorry.

  • Portable air conditioning' doesn't exist. Sorry.

    Does ‘luggable’? As in what @danstuff has.

    All in one presumably and the captured heat is exhausted through air being pushed outside through a window that obvs has to be sealed.

    BTW I was that guy in the start up office who could explain to colleagues why opening the window to cool a room whilst having the air con on was a self defeating idea. I have a rudimentary understanding of how they work Yeah I’m a riot at parties.

  • No. You have something trying to cool the gas and then reheat it in a single unit.

    Air Con relies on the condensate points of gaseous chemicals. Gas wants to expand.

    To cool you force it to be a liquid by pressurising it, it wants to be a gas again so picks up heat and stores it. Then you allow it to be a gas and it releases all the stored heat to allow that.
