how does a port a cool unit work in a enclosed warehouse

Don't expect it to cool a large area such as a warehouse but rather works well for directing cool air towards the workers. Great for hot dry environments and will relieve some of the expense associated with built-in cooling systems.

The unit must intake dry air and have a place to exhaust humid air, as long as there is a way for thr circulation of some air, some opening or openings -it will work. A completely sealed warehouse would not br a good idea. Also, remember, evap coolers aren't as cool as refrig ones. A lot depends on the moving air flowimg over the skin or outer clothes. It is good for cooling but not great. But it is also way more ecomomical about electrical usage,

I bought one to see if it would cool a work station in my laundry. We have had it for about two months and it has worked great. I just received two more. The operators love them. The laundry is in South Georgia.

It worked fine... But we manually filled the reservoir ... Not kept a hose attached, as the coupling leaked... Not the greatest cooling by the way... Only a few degrees

The same way it works outside. You put water in the tank, the water circulates across the corrugated paper in the back and when the air is pulled across, it cools it. But as others have said, it doesn't work near as well as they advertise if you live in a humid area. Expect 4-6* cooler then a regular fan (since I don't live in anywhere else, I can't comment). Doesn't sound like much but I promise, if you are sitting in the breeze, you'll be fine but when you get up, you'll realize just how much better it is then a regular fan.

You have to open your AC unit, which is housed inside of a metal box, at least all units usually are. Inside of the metal square box, there is a condenser unit, which is what you wrap up.

My answer is to find the best permanent place for the outside unit. It's always best to leave the sealed system connected unless there is no option except to move it. And, I agree with other answers. The unit is designed for lubrication of the compressor to be in its upright position.

There is a small cable that connects the exterior compressor unit with the interior cooling unit. You run it right along with the two Freon lines. Power comes in the side of the exterior compressor. AC power comes into the exterior unit on the same end as the Freon and interconnecting cable. In a typical installation, you would run a flexible conduit to a safety disconnect switch nearby. Since the units draw so little power, #14 wiring to the disconnect is more than adequate.

It has ventilation, in that it is not covered by any type of shroud or covering. However, this is passive cooling, as it is just open to the air, not actively cooled by a fan. Also, the lower part of the hard drive, where it connects to the docking station is covered and will receive less passive cooling. If you want this to be an always-on solution, I don't think this is the best choice, and you should look for something with an active cooling solution.

I just capped unused ports to protect from weather. Otherwise functions fine with open ports.

We got a great effect from our Dj H2O, but truthfully, it is in a fairly confined space and we used two units aimed where they crossed one another. We built a fantasy submarine in our Kids Church. One end of the room has a very large (5 ft. Diameter) port hole. We installed a clear concave plastic lense and built a three wall bay with enclosed ceiling. The units sit to either side on the floor about 4 feet from the back center wall. The ceiling of the enclosure is at a height of about 7 feet from the floor. We put an undersea mural on the three bay walls and when the units are on, it really does look like you're looking out under the ocean.

Closing the port will not solve the problem. The box dimensions are different and a sealed closure should be between 1.2-1.5 cu ft. Also I doubt you will have a proper seal on the box. Any air escape will change the sound. I've been very impressed with the set up but that's MHO.

you don't need any of that stuff its very straight forward you have 3 in ports and one out portthat takes a 3/8" hose that connects to the out port. it pumps the water up to 25 feet highit uses 110 volt electricity it has instructions but I hook these things up all the time. It has diagrams for A/C hook upsbut I don't use them for that so I don't use it I use mine to pump water from the dehumidifies and my A/C evaporatorswith is only water it does not control the A/C unit. I have three of these units and didn't have any problems with any of them.I use dedicated circuits breakers and circuits for each of these units. you don't need any of that stuff its very straight forward you have 3 in ports and one out portthat takes a 3/8" hose that connects to the out port. it pumps the water up to 25 feet highit uses 110 volt electricity it has instructions but I hook these things up all the time.

The unit runs on batteries only, no AC port available without modification. it has an auto shutoff, so the batteries last a long time.

plug in,, The unit works fine. But the containers they sent me does not hold a seal

The unit has punch out holes in the back for wiring and ventilation purposes.

any sort of sealed cabinet space certainly isn't ideal when it comes to A/V equipment... never-the-less, when faced with a situation as such, in my opinion,yes, this can and should certainly help out. air-flow is essential for electronics to dissipate the heat they produce and air will always find its way in and out regardless, so any alternate source of air flow, ie, this cooling unit, will only help. every situation can be different depending on the variables it has, but as a broader generalization, yes, this should certainly not only help, but maybe even more so than you might have thought

My shop is in my unseated garage. It doesn't get below 40* The humidity is lower when it's cold so the unit runs a lot less than in the spring and summer, but it functions fine. Of course, if you mean below freezing when you say low temperatures, it wouldn't work, it would ice up.

I didn't play with that feature when setting up for work, but I don't believe it telescopes. If it does, the piece that would would need to be on the inside of the port since the outside is a solid piece of plastic.

1 port powers the unit and the 2nd you can power up other devices or charge cell phone.

I mean itll work but itll get hot fast. Different air paces sound different try and port it
