[Shop-talk] "portable" AC units

[Bob Spidell]

When the A/C crapped out in the house we were renting a couple months 
ago we got a 'portable' unit for the upstairs bedroom. This was a 
2-story house and even when we had functional central air the upstairs 
was always 3-4degF hotter than the downstairs. The portable unit was a 
little larger than a 13-gal garbage can and did a fair job (this when 
ambient air was triple digits here in the Central Valley). It had a 
single duct and an extendable panel to seal it in a semi-open window; 
honestly, I don't know if it was for fresh air or exhaust (probably 
exhaust, I think it just recirculated room air). I've seen similar units 
at Lowes for $300-400.
