Emergency Portable Cooling System
Emergency Portable Cooling System
With proper planning, the right portable cooling system will keep your facilities operating and personnel comfortable when air conditioning disasters and/or emergencies strike. Processes have become highly dependent on the operation of facility air conditioning systems. When the main air conditioning fails, computers, servers and telecommunications equipment can overheat rapidly. Systems will have to be shut down and operations suspended, resulting in losses that can quickly become devastating. What happens when your air conditioning goes down and you are experiencing one of these emergencies?
Emergency computer room cooling units tough enough to do the job must be available at a moments notice.
The Portable Cooling System Industry Depends On
At ExtraCooler® we have been devoted to solving emergency heat removal situations such as HVAC operations coming to a dead stop, computer room air conditioning struggling to keep up with server demands, and air conditioning maintenance since 1984. And in those 25 plus years, we’ve come to fully understand what it takes to restore full industrial air conditioning with a portable cooling system. To meet industry’s relentless need for continuous cool air, we developed the ExtraCooler® portable cooling system that can handle any size cooling crisis, even in times of natural disaster. Our computer room cooling units have become the answer to IT and industrial air conditioning downtime. Even if the power goes out, we have AC generator portable units to power the ExtraCooler® spot coolers, available for immediate shipment. The versatile ExtraCooler® portable cooling system proves its worth during emergency situations world wide, when more than just supplemental cooling is needed.
Here are a few examples:
- A major International Airport lost cooling in its telephone equipment building. Clearly an emergency cooling situation. Spot Cooling’s crews responded with about two-dozen portable computer room cooling units, keeping the airport operational until the problem was fixed.
- One of Dallas, Texas’s major convention hotels lost its entire cooling system and Spot Cooling immediately deployed over 75 portable cooling system units.
- Spot Cooling provided the Secret Service with 10 units for the White House.
- The U.S. Coast Guard in Kuwait recently procured several ExtraCooler portable cooling units.
- Medical Center Complex in Houston, Texas lost large cooling units during the tropical storm flood. Spot Cooling’s crew deployed over 120 portable air-conditioning units to save lives.
- The Ft. Worth, Texas Stockyards used our portable cooling system to cool prized bulls during the Livestock Shows. Not quite an emergency, but another example of the variety of applications for our products.

Our Products in Action
Computers take cold air conditioning
POWER OUTAGES CAUSE OF 45.3% OF THE DISAPPEARANCE OF INFORMATION
Sudden changes in temperature, both at home and at work, they can disappear contained in the computers, sometimes irrecoverable.
Sudden changes in temperature are not only bad for humans. The computer also suffers, but instead of catching a cold may suffer a loss of data. These problems arise mainly in summer and are caused “by the rise and fall of temperature in offices and at home because they are put on and remove the air conditioning,” says Miguel Ruiz, Recovery Labs technical director .
Computer parts themselves being out of step with those variations of degree and that computers do fail and can not access the data. To avoid them, do not put the computer to the equipment if you turn off and on much or attempt to restart after the ruling.
YOU MAY LOSE YOUR DATA IF THE TEMPERATURE CHANGES
At 35 degrees and a fever.
While all computers have a fan system that generates a flow of air to prevent overheating, there are problems if the machine much temperature increase and down at once. “Working at 35 degrees is a problem for any electronic device, said Ruiz, although the problem is that the computer does not reach 100 degrees, but then reduced. The PC may be about 45-50 degrees in temperature, while the hard disk can reach 60.
The hardest thing, the blackout, dust and water
Blackouts are the main causes of data loss in computers, according to figures provided by American Power Conversion “, followed by the storms. The powder is also another enemy in the computer malfunctions, also if it affects the hard drive, increases the problem. Damage from water have led some companies to design a keyboard resistant to liquids and even sudden shock.
TIPS FOR NO SPOILER ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
Do not plug them barefoot
One of the recommendations made from American Power Conversion “. Nor can we plug in electrical equipment with wet hands.
Without antenna storm
In cases of storm, not only necessary to unplug the power cord, but also the antenna. Should be in televisions, computers and audiovisual equipment in general.
Cables without tape
The joints or seams should not be made with tape, transparent tape or other materials not approved. If you have a device with a bare wire, change it immediately.
No gluing them to the wall
This rule also applies to computers that have the ventilation system in front and behind, so they need space to drive and take the air. The same goes for televisions and stereos.
A plug for each
You must use a socket for each application. And connect each device at a different time so as not to produce an electrical overload.

Difference: Residential and Commercial Portable Air Conditioner
What is the difference between a residential and commercial portable air conditioner ?
Residential 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.
Definition: Portable Air Conditioner
A portable air conditioning unit (also known as a spot cooler) is 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 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 portable air conditioner’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 portable air conditioner 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 portable air conditioner 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 portable air conditioner can solve this problem as well.
Many hospitals, as well as other businesses, elect to use a portable air conditioner for emergency purposes.
A portable air conditioner 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 portable air conditioner. Although a portable air conditioner may cost more than a window unit it may provide greater flexibility, efficiency and less effort to install and use.
