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.

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.

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.
