Portable Air Cooler

About
A portable air cooler have always been a popular option for lots of people for the obvious reason that they can be easily moved around. They are perfectly suited to smaller environments such as a small room or office as it would take forever to cool down a very large room. One of the greatest advantages of portable air coolers is the fact that they can be taken with you if you are moving home or offices. This means that you are not going to waste any more money on another air cooler if you have to move to another location. A portable air cooler that you can roll from room to room might appeal to you if your window space is limited or if you live in a building where ordinary room air conditioners are forbidden.

How does a portable air cooler work?
An air conditioner cannot create cooling because it only relocates the heat. The heat is removed in two ways, as an actual temperature drop, and as water. The refrigerant pushes the heat outside where it is discharged while the water, called condensate is collected alone and pumped or drained away. After being installed properly, most air conditioners perform these operations mechanically. A portable air cooler must be vented and drained manually by its user but we must not forget that these types of coolers can be easily moved from a place to another.

Types of portable air coolers
There are two different types of portable air coolers. The portable evaporative air cooler uses water to relocate the heat. This type of portable air cooler is very effective in dry climates, as humidity is a product of the cooling cycle. This type of portable air cooler can frequently be found with a 12 volt adapter for cars or boats.
The other type of portable air cooler uses a refrigerant and is very much like the a standard air conditioner window unit, with the exception of that it usually comes on wheels and is made to operate on the room’s floor. They have to be plugged into a standard 120 volt power supply, and a vent must be installed through a near window. A condensate pan must also be dumped from time to time when in use.
