Portable Air Conditioners Ensure Economy And Convenience

Small is beautiful and convenient and so is the portable air conditioner as it can be shifted from one place to the other very easily. Read on to find out all the other advantages.

With the onset of the damp weather, it becomes difficult to survive without constant central air conditioning but that can prove to be quite expensive. The answer to this problem is a portable air conditioner as it has many advantages. It is easy to shift from one place in the home to another and that makes a portable air conditioner the ideal cooling system solution for your home, office or industrial site.

The portable air conditioners are easy and quick to install, as they do not involve any lifting or tearing up of windowsills. Moreover it can be shifted very easily from one place in the home to the other. For taking care of the hot spots in the central air conditioning, the portable air conditioners are far more convenient than window air conditioners. It is also ideal for window shapes, which present problems for installation. There is nothing like portable air conditioners for use as a spot cooler in the home.

A portable air conditioner is an excellent choice for saving money as just one unit needs to be purchased and it can be shifted easily to where you need it as it is mounted on castors and some can weigh only about 36 pounds. Moreover, as only one room is cooled at a time instead of the whole house, the total energy consumption is very low as compared to other air conditioning systems.

Another advantage of portable air conditioners is the energy efficiency that they provide. The average efficiency is in the 8 to 10 range although some are as high as 15, which is 50 percent better than most older central air conditioners. The small size of the portable air conditioners is very advantageous and as such it can fit in a corner or against a wall. It functions like an effective dehumidifier if you do not vent the warm exhaust air out through a window and its size is also the same as that of a room dehumidifier.

In order to reduce humidity and allergies, even the small ones remove 35 pints of moisture per day from the room air. The portable air conditioners also use the heat-exchange principle as the other air conditioners to cool and dehumidify the air. The operating principle is also similar to a window air conditioner as the room air circulates over cold evaporator coils to cool and dehumidify it inside the unit. The room air is exhausted outdoor after flowing over the hot condenser. There is no chance of already-cooled indoor air escaping outside as two ducts are now used.

Nowadays, you have electronic controls in most models and you can set the desired room temperature, blower speed, start and stop timer, and operation mode (cool, dehumidify, heat). The portable air conditioners also have hand-held remote control with which you can conveniently change all the settings as per your need.

The other features of portable air conditioners include a built-in air cleaner with an optional charcoal filter and oscillating louvers to distribute the cool air throughout the room. You can also switch off the louvers to direct the flow of air towards yourself, if you so desire.

Tropical Hurricane Beta or Alpha

Hurricane Beta is beating down on Nicaragua and some meteorologists are predicting a worse case scenario could leave 25 inches of rain in the country. Can you even imagine that level of rain and flooding? Nicaragua could take an upper mid center hit from the eye wall landfall of a Category II or III Hurricane Beta as it strikes the shore. what is most alarming is that Nicaragua has some huge mountains, which are 4,000 to 5,000 feet above the ground meaning the remnants of Beta as it winds back down could stay and circulate bringing even more rain for weeks, especially if other tropical storms fill up the Caribbean.

We know from watching these tropical storms and hurricanes that the biggest killer is not the winds themselves but the shear size and precipitation from the storms, as they cause flooding drowning their victims. Hurricane Wilma dropped lots of water on the already water logged and saturated country not more than 7 days ago and now Hurricane Beta will deluge the country to the point of flooding out all areas on the Western shores and up into the mountains. There will be huge mudslides and many deaths from Hurricane Beta and it could be a bigger killer than even Hurricane Stan, whose remnants flooded out and killed 3500 people. Burying whole villages in mudslides, which were later deemed mass graves and cemeteries, rather than trying to dig out all the bodies. Hurricane Beta is a deadly and dangerous storm, which will devastate and destroy in the next week. Think on this.
