Anyone uses portable aircond? how the compressor and unwanted air are suck out from the room?

Should I install portable aircond or fixed one is a cabin which is for temporary?

1HP will be more than enough.

Your cabin dalam hutan ah?, if not install normal AC only.

The mobile ac got one huge ass a air vent that you need to direct hot air out of the room. The normally come with door or windows bracket for this purpose

How big is your cabin?
Any window? Any roof?
Side any trees?

If shipping container 40" in the open field under sun you will need 2hp x2 at least

Evaluate passive cooling first like putting roof with air space, plant trees, aluclad the sides with air gap
Even consider reorient the cabin short side east west

just 10ft x 8ft only. Yes, with windows but roof is the cabin itself, no extra roof. Side no tree. Open. Only 3pm onwards no more sunlight because other trees sudah x nampak sun

Portable aircond is so noisy.. if u can bear the machine sound, then its ok..

And if u just use it for a while like 4-6 hour i think it is ok

If more than that, its not good because the hot air produce by the device itself even though u got airvent cant cover much the hot air produce..

I got one of these device

And u need to have long tube to get the water that flow out from the portable aircond somewhere..

Hole or something..

Waste my money only buy this thing.. hehe

hmmm. you got it and I did consider this. It seems fixed one will be my option. Now to think which brand to buy rclxub.gif

1hp good enough for 10x8...but door constantly open/close...protect the outdoor unit from the sun n rain... split unit will be ideal and keep the outdoor unit away from the walk ( minimise vibrations)..

I think fixed one is a better choice

Just install fixed one better. More efficient. Cabin offices will be hot you will want to get fixed AC as opposed to portable AC that's probably not going to cool you enough. Still need to run hose to exhaust the hot air outside anyway. Later when no longer using the cabin can take off the AC.

yaya... fixed one is the choice now

Portable air conditioner is a scam. It only can blow cool air at you if you sit directly in front of it. It won't cool down the entire room like a normal air conditioner can no matter how many hours you turn it on. I have a portable Sharp air conditioner that is sitting inside my store room after using for few months only.

thanks for your sharing.

Luckily I did ask first.

For your cabin, just install a normal air conditioner & put a standing fan nearby you to extra cool you down during noon temperature heat will do. Last time my work place is also steel cabin. Standing fan + air conditioner combo good enough.

how large is your cabin and the HP the air cond is?

About 20 feet long 8 feet wide, 1.5hp + standing fan is a must during noon temperature heat
*
Mine is half of your long. Then 1HP would be enough

If you set the air conditioner to 16°C all the time with a standing fan by your side should be enough for you
