[Shop-talk] "portable" AC units

[Jim Stone]

Tim: I don’t know if this will help your situation at all, but years ago I had an office that was at the very end of the HVAC run and had very poor air circulation.  In the winter, I would sit at my desk freezing and then stand up and find it was 10 degrees warmer near my head.  I assume the exact opposite would have happened in the summer.  The office had just been renovated and the contractor stopped by one day to check things out.  I talked to him about my office and he returned the next day with a new ceiling vent with a built in ceiling fan.  It looked a lot like a small ceiling fan but it was air powered.  The blades turned slowly when the system was blowing hot or cold air and did nothing the rest of the time.  I was very skeptical of it as an effective solution, but it actually did the trick.  It provided enough air circulation that the office was comfortable in all seasons.  I have never seen another like it and just tried unsuccessfully to find one online, but maybe someone else will know the proper search terms.
