Is this unit able to draw in fresh outdoor air to cool or to run in vent mode?

Yes. The unit is installed in a 800 SF rental cottage. My tenant reports it does a good job cooling in +80 deg outside temps. I don't know how much the tenant uses the ventilation feature.

There is a vent hose that exhausts the heated air to the outdoors -- this can be either in a window, or thru the wall, similar to a clothes dryer vent.

The hot air blows from vents on the sides, all the way around the unit. It works well, worth every $.

Needs to be installed in an open area where it can take in large volumes of air and also needs to exhaust through the roof unlike the electric units?

The unit has a fan that makes noice when venting to prevent from getting hot when use.Hope this helps.

You asked question loooong time ago, hopefully you have answered yourself. Unit should not be in direct path of cool air, otherwise temp setting can be adjusted for location. Mine is only 5' away but on the other side of a wall that blocks direct airflow.

I sure you can, but I don't think I would risk it. I know that they have a unit designed to bemounted outside and I believe the only differences are the unit is insulated to help ambient moisture to effect the interior electronics, weather protection, and the venting is direct, rather then a B-vent. One thing to keep in mind, a minium water pressure is very important for this unit to operate correctly.

The air flows in the front panel and out a vent on the top of the unit. You can definitely put the unit in a corner or up against a wall.

It vents directly thru an outside wall. Everything you need to vent it is included with the heater

To use it as an an air condioner, you do need to run the hose to the outside. Hot air is vented out thru the hose, and cold air comes out of the vent into the room. When using as a dehumidifier, the exhaust hose does not need to vent outside, but you will get no cooling.

Yes...this unit can be wall mounted but it has to be adequately vented to the outside.

No, it doesn't have that option. You can use fan mode but it doesn't bring in outside air.

There aren't any "vents" per-say, you can direct the air flow left to right via "finns" controlled by a tab above the discharge port. It works well enough.

We do have a window in the room where the warm air vents. From the outside of our house you really can't see the vent. Overall, I would not recommend this unit - it is big and clunky and difficult to drain the water from (which happens often) and for its large size it only cools the master bedroom and not even really the adjoining master bathroom.

Yes, the unit has FAN ONLY option. Keep in mind that vents are facing upward.

Yes this unit needs to vent outside a window. However this unit is super easy to hookup.

It is made to be ventless and works great. Not sure how you would vent it to the outside, you would be losing heat.
