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 portable air conditioner?
Portable air conditioners are, of course, portable. A portable air conditioner is used to supplement, replace, used in an emergency, and back up situations. Some server rooms out grow their permanent air conditioning system. A portable air conditioner is used to supplement the system providing an inexpensive solution to cool the server room. In the situation where an air conditioning system needs to be replaced but the cost is prohibitive, the portable air conditioner is a viable alternative that is less expensive than a complete system replacement. In times when the primary air conditioning system is offline for maintenance, or breakdown, Portable air conditioners will be brought in on a temporary basis providing the cooling that is needed. Some entities like to have a portable air conditioner standing by just in case of an emergency. These units will be placed where needed and not turned on until an emergency happens and the portable air conditioner is needed.
The portable air conditioner has all the same components that your home or office air conditioning system has only it is fully self contained and on casters for easy deployment. When installing a portable air conditioner you must remember that it needs a place to exhaust the hot air that is removed for the space to be cooled. A portable air conditioner must have somewhere to place the heat that is removed in order to cool the room. Most commercial applications only require a portable air conditioner to be vented through the ceiling via a hot air duct connected to a ceiling panel. In some cases the hot air can be duct-ed out a window. Also, portable air conditioners, in an emergency can be vented out a door, assuming the adjoining space is not occupied.

What is the difference between spot coolers, portable air conditioners (“portables”) and mini-split or ductless air conditioners?
What is the difference between spot coolers, portable air conditioners (“portables”) and mini-split or ductless air conditioners?
Air-cooled spot cooling units, spot coolers and portable air conditioners are the same. These units appeared on the market in the early 1980’s to provide cooling for factory workers, hospitals, data rooms, high rise buildings and anywhere extra cooling is needed. Portables are practical, self-contained units on wheels for cooling a spot, room or area where IT equipment, people or other assets need cooling or humidity removal. Portables are available in many capacities and voltages from about 1 Ton to about 10 Tons. If it is impossible or impracticable to exhaust the hot air created by the a/c unit to the outdoors, portables typically include a duct kit for directing the warm air into the ceiling space in a commercial building. These units are unsuitable for residential applications.
If larger units are needed for the job, exterior units are required because doors create capacity limitations.
A “mini split air conditioner” is a ductless split unit. The evaporator section (indoor unit) and condenser (outdoor unit) are separated, or split. The indoor section mounts on the wall and cools just one area. Ductless units are permanently mounted and lack portability.
What is the difference between a residential and commercial portable air conditioner ?
These units are unsuitable and will not work for commercial buildings. A residential portable air conditioner has plastic housing, small condensate tanks, or they evaporate the condensation on the unit’s hot coils, exhausting it into the warm air discharge duct. A window to exhaust the warm air created by the air conditioner is required to create actual air conditioning because air conditioners create more hot air than they do cold air. Because electrical amperage is limited in residences, the residential portable units are typically available in no more than 12,000 BTU’s (1 Ton of cooling capacity). The commercial wheeled portable air conditioners will have larger condensate tanks than residential units, in addition the commercial units tend to have sturdier sheet metal cabinets or housings.
What is the difference between spot coolers, portable air conditioners (“portables”) and evaporative coolers (swamp coolers)? Unlike air condoners, evaporative coolers contribute moisture to the environment because there is no compressor with circulating cold refrigerant to dehumidify. Evaporative cooling is used in dry cleaners, restaurant kitchens and shops where high moisture and low operating costs are acceptable. Air conditioners remove moisture from the environment, dry the air and improve the quality of the environment.
What features should I look for when selecting a spot cooler or portable air conditioner?
Construction – Not all portables air conditioners and spot coolers are built the same. Sheet metal cabinets are better than plastic cabinets. All residential units are housed in plastic cabinets and some of the inferior quality commercial units have plastic cabinets. Superior commercial grade units are made of sheet metal and will last about a decade with continuous use.
Warranties - The major (and most expensive) components of a portable air conditioner unit or spot cooler are the compressor and the fans. It is important these are covered. Other components tend to be relatively inexpensive to repair or replace.
Cooling Capacity – 12,000 equals one ton by official weights and standards. When comparing units, sometimes a sell may claim their unit is, say, one ton capacity. Make sure to ask what the BTU capacity is for the particular unit you are considering. A seller may call a 10,000 BTU their “one ton unit” and another may call a 14,000 BTU spot cooler a one ton unit. That’s a 40% difference in actual cooling capacity in two spot coolers that are both called “one ton”.
Controls – For reliability and simplicity of use, simple mechanical controls are a better option. Some manufacturers provide a digital thermostat (typically a battery operated residential wall thermostat) mounted to the unit to set the temperature. While helpful in rare cases, cold air actually falls on the thermostat from the front of the unit and gives an incorrect reading, shutting off the a/c unit when the rest of the room needs cooling. Some portable units offer wall-mounting the digital thermostat which detects the temperature at the place on the wall where the thermostat is mounted. In most cases, simpler is better for controlling your portable air conditioner. A dial-type temperature controller is less complicated, more reliable and does not require new batteries. If the temperature rises, the dial-type thermostat will call for the unit to engage, activating the air conditioner and will usually last several trouble-free years.
