Why is a Portable Air Conditioner called a Spot Cooler ??
As the term Spot Cooler implies, the portable air conditioner can only effectively cool one spot or area. Portable spot coolers are not meant to replace central air conditioning. The spot cooler is meant to supplement, or in emergency situations take the place of central air that has been shut off due to maintenance, theft of critical components or break down. The spot cooler can be placed in the right position to cool the person or equipment as needed for these situations. At times, computer rooms (server rooms) and other areas need supplemental cooling. This is a perfect fit for the spot cooler. The spot cooler is brought in to help the existing central air system without the cost of a major equipment upgrade.
Is the portable air conditioner the only equipment that could be called a spot cooler? No because other types of spot coolers are available. The evaporative cooler that is manufactured by Port-A-Cool® is the best example of a spot cooler that is not a portable air conditioner. These evaporative coolers will effectively cool many areas that a portable air conditioner can not cool due to the size of the area. The evaporative cooler can lower the temperature of the air 10 to 25 degrees. The cost to run the Port-A-Cool® spot cooler is also much less than that of portable air conditioners. A typical Port-A-Cool® spot cooler can be run for less than $1 per day.
So for all your spot cooler needs remember to call an expert. Spot Cooling Systems has been in business since 1984 providing spot coolers for rent and purchase. Please call us 24 hours a day 7 days a week. 866-990-5700

What is a spot cooler ?
A spot cooler is a portable air conditioning unit designed to add additional cooling or for temporary use in a location where there is no existing air conditioning. Examples of locations where a spot cooler may be used include offices, aircraft while on the ground, computer rooms, server rooms, and tents or other temporary facilities.
As a portable air conditioning unit, the operation of a spot cooler is similar to a window air conditioner, it pulls air into a condenser, cools it, and circulates it back into the room. However the unit is typically on wheels and in a self contained cabinet making for ease of portability. Like any air conditioning unit, a spot cooler’s performance capabilities are measured in British Thermal Units (BTU). Most spot coolers range from 12,000 BTU to 100,000 BTU although some large commercial units can go up to 1,000,000 BTU or more. Note that 12,000 BTU is also known as 1 Ton of cooling capacity.
A spot cooler cools and dehumidifies a room or area of a building where either no air conditioning exists or additional air conditioning is required. Some large industrial buildings have areas where no air conditioning exists or central air conditioning units fail. A spot cooler can provide localized or temporary cooling. Rooms with large amounts of electronic equipment such as server rooms, computer rooms, and media rooms generate excessive heat. A spot cooler can solve this problem as well.
Many hospitals, as well as other businesses, elect to use a spot cooler for emergency purposes.
A spot cooler may also be used to cool a home. In homes with no central air conditioning, usually cooler climates, an owner or tenant may choose to use a spot cooler. Although a spot cooler may cost more than a window unit it may provide greater flexibility, efficiency and less effort to install and use.
