Industrial Portable AC Ventilation

Venting a portable is usually the last resort for almost everyone. But still, some might ask as to when to and when not to vent your portable air conditioner through the wall. There are some common methods to follow to vent your portable air conditioner.

How To Vent A Portable Air Conditioner With Window

The simplest method is to funnel the exhaust line of your portable AC unit through casement windows. Casement windows use a hand crank to open, and you can buy portable AC unit vent kits to attach to casement window units. This method requires a hose to attach to the exhaust port. As sliding doors usually lead to the outdoors, they are very similar to windows and therefore make excellent options for ventilation. They are easier to seal than swinging doors as their opening is easy to cover, and so kits to set this up are readily available. Ventilation Through A Swinging Door Or Casement Windows Connecting a large AC exhaust hose to a dryer vent will make the AC work harder to remove heat from your room.

Another option is getting a window AC unit that fits this type and style of casement window.
