The Portable Air Conditioning Unit can focus cool air through its flexible cooling duct or cool a small room through its louvered vent. It also filters and dehumidifies air to improve operating conditions and equipment reliability. Condensate is re-evaporated for drip-free operation, so you won’t waste time emptying water collection tanks. The self-contained design does not require any plumbing or special circuits, so setup is quick and easy. Eco-friendly R410A refrigerant meets environmental standards worldwide.
