Please gather the following information:
1. Square footage and basic shape of the room / space you wish to cool (include ceiling height)
2. Type of ceiling (suspended-ceiling tiles, open warehouse).
3. Type of power available (115V, 208/220, 480 single or three-phase).
4. Estimated budget if an outdoor event or tent/warehouse.
5. How soon and how long you need cooling or heating.
See Portable Air Conditioner Basics paragraph below.
Quieter operation than most portables. Sound ranges from 57 dB to 71 dB.
Low cost operation compared to similar units. Draws the least amount of amperage on a per-ton basis.
The 1SS series line is the next generation of portable air conditioners. Through innovation and craftsmanship, this series helps you bring cool, productive,
comfortable air conditioning and dehumidification to any windowless room.
This line of portable air conditioners provides effective climate control for areas where conventional air conditioners won't work. Controlled moisture levels provide greater comfort. From commercial spaces to industrial and health care areas, give your customers great work space conditions.
The 1-7 Ton series is the ultimate in comprehensive design. Just look at the features:

BTU Rating Portable Air Conditioners, also known as Spot Coolers, are rated in British Thermal Units (BTU). The greater the BTU of a unit, the more cooling power it has. Generally, for every 250-450 square feet of space, approximately 12,000 (1 Ton) -14,000 BTU of cooling is required. This guideline can differ due to several factors that contribute to the heat load. For example:
Sun exposure, number of windows, type of building (or tent), amount of insulation, number of people, and computer heat load. Keep in mind that a portable air conditioner with too little cooling power will not cool your space adequately, while a portable air conditioner with too much power will short cycle (constantly turn on and off), which can burn up the compressor, and not dehumidify your space well at all.
Condensate Disposal All portable air conditioners dehumidify the air that passes through them. The water removed from the air is called condensate. Portable air conditioners house a removable bucket that fill up with condensation sometimes relatively quickly (every 4-8 hours, depending on conditions) and must be emptied by hand. One option is to remove the bucket and install a condensate pump. The pump sits inside a small tank that fills with condensate to a set level. When the level is met, the motor turns on and pumps the condensate (water) out of a flexible plastic hose to a drain somewhere away from the unit, usually into a sink drain or outside.
Hot Air Exhaust Duct All portable air conditioners must exhaust the heat away from the air conditioned space. Most portable air conditioners use a flexible exhaust duct connected to the portable air conditioner on one end. The other end is typically connected to a 2' x 2' ceiling panel that replaces the existing ceiling tile. The hot air exhausts into the open ceiling plenum.
