said by Mhenry843 :Got a LG 12,000 BTU it's about 2 years old but was only used for a few months up until now. The problem is the compressor kicks on but the air is exactly the same temperature as when the compressor is off it gets no colder at all. I cleaned all the dust out of it haven't cleaned the coils yet because they don't seem dirty at all. I'm no expert in this area so if someone can point me in any direction that may lead me to the problem, that would be great. it sure sounds like the AC was dropped, and leaked out all the Freon, or it may have gotten bumped.. if the compressor is running, and the evaporator(the coil under the filter in the front) is not getting cold, then the Freon is gone..BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Parents passed out band-aids outside the Baltimore County Government offices Tuesday morning. They say they need portable air conditioners as a band-aid solution in the 37 county schools with no form of AC. Due to the county’s new policy, which requires schools to shut their doors if the heat index goes above 90 degrees for any part of the day, those 37 schools have already been closed for two of this year’s five school days.

Tonight, the school board is expected to revise that policy. Some believe it will result in the loss of too many school days while others are worried the policy could be weakened too much.air handling units operation Yesterday, Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz told WJZ he’ll leave the closure policy up to the board, but he says portable air conditioners would be a waste of taxpayer dollars, that many schools have wiring that can’t handle them, and that he’s working toward the long-term solution of installing central air in schools.install portable ac unit Most but not all Baltimore County schools are expected to have air conditioning by 2017.window ac unit in a van Some parents are still insisting the schools need a stop gap.

“…these children are suffering so much, they’re suffering,” mom Vanessa Bennett told WJZ. “And they need this portable AC to learn.” “There’s no way in the world they’re going to just go back to not having any kind of heat closure policy,” Lily Rowe told WJZ. “And there’s no way that the advocates for these schools are going to tolerate a watered down policy, because even today’s a day that schools didn’t close, but the classrooms are 90 degrees.” Lily Li said the humidity created an “unhealthy situation” that’s “not acceptable to any mom.” Follow @CBSBaltimore on Twitter and like WJZ-TV | CBS Baltimore on Facebook Search Results For: Portable Air Conditioners LG - 8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner 24 Hour On/Off Timer Estimated Cooling Area Of 200 SqFt Compare (Up to 4) Friedrich - 13,500 BTU Heat Pump Portable Air Conditioner 10,700 BTU's Of HEAT/ 10.8 amps Moisture Removal 6.0 Pints/ Hour

A window AC is typically a more efficient choice than a portable AC because the compressor and other mechanical components are able to vent to the outdoors. A single hose portable AC draws air only from the room and expels hot air out of the vent hose. This causes a low pressure area in the room and can often lead to hot air being drawn into the room from other parts of the house or outdoors, lessening the cooling effect of the air conditioner.A modification like the one in the video below will lead to the same low pressure area as a single hose portable AC and to be honest, seems like a lot of work.You could also modify a window AC to sit inside a window in a specially constructed box that allows the unit to vent to the outdoors without the hassle of trying to construct a venting system./f17/w...This box idea seems like the best solution to a window AC that cant be mounted out a window. However, if your looking to make it a true portable AC than option #1 is probably going to be your best bet.

Written If you are very particular, Yes!!?Place Window A/C on a wheeled table. Close the back side with a cover having 2 spigots of 250 mm size(or 200 mm if size do not permit)Connect these 2 spigots with 250 mm flexible aluminum ducts( length of which should be suitable to reach outside atmosphere. Ensure no opening with outside other than these hoses. Locations of these openings should correspond to the air in and out for cooling the condenser coil. If the length of hose is more and fan inside the Ac is not sufficient to drive air, fix more more fan along with the hose.When temperatures soar, there’s no better place to be than in front of an air conditioner. But in some smaller spaces, there’s no room for a clunky window unit or box fan. Instead of sweating it out, consumers will soon be able to keep cool by enlisting the help of a tiny, eco-friendly box called Geizeer. Developed by an Italy-based startup called idea3Di, Geizeer may serve as an alternative to air conditioners and fans.
