Some of the more popular applications for OceanAire portable air conditioner units include: OceanAire’s most popular units are our air-cooled air conditioner range, which are typically ventilated through ‘floated’ or drop ceilings.

Accessory kits are available for ducting into a 2 X 2 panel.  These units can also be ducted to push the hot air out through other outlets, such as a garage or into any room that does not require cooling. These units are versatile and dependable, and are a popular choice for instant air conditioning in most buildings.gree split air conditioner installation manual There are times when building cooling presents unique obstacles. window ac unit in sliding windowWhen ventilation of the condenser air is not possible, particularly in buildings with complete walls from floor to roof.  ac window unit size calculatorIn some cases there is not sufficient building space for heat rejection.  Therefore, OceanAire offers a range of great water-cooled air conditioner solutions.

Our water-cooled portable air conditioner units provide a unique portable solution that uses water for heat rejection in the cooling process. The water may be supplied from a chilled water loop, a tower loop or a sink.  Convenient hose kits provide flexibility for installation and offer the user a means to cool in restricted areas of a building.  These units are widely used to cool rooms with laboratory equipment, servers and electronic equipment. Both of these distinctive cooling processes enable our clients to select the best option for instant and portable commercial air conditioning, which can be used anywhere. Building cooling is just one of our many specialties. Our quality driven approach and dedication to manufacturing the best commercial air conditioning units is what enables our products to run for many years of dependable and efficient use. OceanAire is renowned for our innovations and are the most forward thinking manufacturer in commercial air conditioning today.

We support a nationwide network of distributors to provide AMERICAN MADE portable commercial air conditioning units, which we strongly believe are the best available in the world today.

I’m wrapped up in a jumper with my legs crossed under me to keep warm, and my sleeves are pulled as far down as they go. My two female colleagues are sitting opposite me wearing their jackets, and there’s a stack of emergency desk jumpers in case things get worse. The men around us are all pretty much jacket-free. In fact, most of them have their shirt sleeves rolled up and religiously maintain that the temperature is ‘fine’. Welcome to office life, where women battle daily with the air conditioning, and men have no idea there’s even a problem. But there is - and it's a sexist one. Men toil in their dream temperatures, while women are left to shiver.

Or in my case, wrap themselves in a weird grey poncho/blanket/scarf. It’s really about time we had this conversation. There must be thousands – dare I say millions – of women out there having these exact AC office wars. I asked women on Twitter how they felt and within five minutes, I had these responses: @radhikasanghani my coat is currently doubling as a blanket over my knees #glamour— Christobel Hastings (@CalicoCasa)The office was described as 'nippy' by my female colleague right up until June. I was sweating — Richard Protheroe (@RichardAtVeeqo) @radhikasanghani @jenlipman Would weigh in but too cold to type.— Lauren Davidson (@laurendavidson) @radhikasanghani It is the scourge of my existence!— Jennifer Lipman (@jenlipman) @radhikasanghani women DO feel colder and this needs to be accounted for in the office environment rather than made a joke of! #wearsfleece — _Lotusflower_ (@lotusflowerldn)Not just me in a cardi, fleece & scarf in the summer!

And I'm in an office full of women & NO air con — Julie Littlewood (@JulieLittlewood) Clearly, this is a problem, and it’s one that’s backed up by brand new scientific research that shows most AC units are designed for a man's body temperature - not a woman's. In modern offices, most climate control systems are based on the resting metabolic rate of a 40-year-old man, which runs up to 30 per cent faster than a woman’s. So while men are comfortable in the workplace, the majority of women would need conditions to be nearly four degrees warmer - which explains why we're always so cold. Lead author Dr Boris Kingma from Maastricht University Medical Centre in the Netherlands said: “The main message is that in the current standards the value for the heat load of a building is based on an average male. This overestimates the metabolic rate of women on average by 20 to 30 per cent. "We do not recommend a specific range of room temperatures, instead we point out how metabolic rate differs between males and females, and how important it could be to take this into account when defining indoor climate standards."

Offices around the UK, take note. But in case you're still doubting the sexism of AC units, there's more. In 1998, researchers at the University of Utah found that though women had higher core temperatures than men (97.8 °F vs. 97.4 °F) their hands were consistently colder. While men registered an average hand temperature of 90 °F, the mean hand temperature for women was just 87.2 °F. That’s a hell of a lot colder, and scientists say it’s down to the size difference between men and women. Women typically have more body fat than men (boobs, for one), and though the fat helps keep the heat in, it isn’t great at generating heat – unlike muscle, which men generally have more of. It also helps to explain why some women are probably reading this article thinking, ‘What are you on about? I love air conditioning and I’m never cold.’ Well that’s probably because you have a similar body composition to a man, so congratulations to you on escaping this daily temperature war. The rest of us aren’t so lucky.

It might sound like it isn’t that big of a deal, but when you sit at your desk freezing every day, with numb fingers trying to type out thousands of words, it can be incredibly frustrating. Blogger Christobel Hastings uses her coat as a blanket @/3mfbHZte6l— Christobel Hastings (@CalicoCasa) In summer it’s even worse. If you’re a woman in the middle of AC wars, you can’t just put on a summer dress sans tights like the lucky women who work in AC-less offices, because you know you’ll be colder than ever. Instead you’ve got a choice to either sweat during your commute and lunch break because you’ve got your winter gear on, or shiver all day in the lovely new sandals you know you’ll never to be able to wear without socks in the office again. (I did trial sandals with socks the other day - but that's a whole other story) It isn’t just a fashion nightmare. Cold temperature can actually lead to physical problems. I often find I hunch over more and tense up my shoulder muscles when I’m cold, which leads to back aches – and it’s scientifically proven that if you exercise with cold muscles, it can lead to muscle strains.

So that’s a no to the gym post-work them. Cold temperatures can also cause physiological effects such as thicker blood, increase in blood pressure and tightening of the airways. If people are already vulnerable to illness, or have chronic conditions, this can be dangerous. But cold staff are also likely to make more errors with their work and be less productive. A 2004 study found that when the office temperature jumped from 68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (20 to 25°C), typing errors fell by 44 per cent and typing output jumped 150 per cent. Alan Hedge, professor at Cornell’s Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory, who carried out the study, said: “Temperature is certainly a key variable that can impact performance. The results of our study also suggest raising the temperature to a more comfortable thermal zone saves employers about $2 (£1.29) per worker, per hour.” If that’s not an incentive for employers to finally sort out the AC problem once and for all, I don’t know what is.
