[Shop-talk] "portable" AC units

[Jack Brooks]

The better ones have two ducts that vent outside, one for inlet and one for exhaust otherwise you are drawing in air from outside, etc.  From what I have seen people discussing in the RV world, efficiencies are typically notoriously low.

Many RV'ers are installing inverter style mini splits instead. They are just hanging the "outside" portion on the outer wall of the RV.  The kicker is that they seem to be able to find HVAC guys that will check over and fill a system they install resulting in much lower installed costs.

Does anyone here have any experience with said appliance?

My main wonder is where does the exhaust go? Does these things have an exhaust "port" that I can hook a hose up to and run it where ever?

thanks
