Nice job. Some of these units don't need a drain in cool mode. They actually 'spray' the condensation over the hot coils which vaporizes it and it is blown out the exhaust with the hot air. The Frigidaire FHPC102AC1 is one such unit. It even says that in cool mode you should cap the drain for best performance. In 'dry' mode however you would need to connect a drain hose - it does have a drain hookup bottom rear. Thanks for a informative and nice video.

I plan to merge the exhaust to the dryer vent exhaust by using a merging pipe.

I'm looking at doing the same thing for a different reason. I bought a used 11000 BTU unit and haven't decided yet how I'm going to exhaust it. But I believe you made a mistake using the 4in instead of the 6in dryer vent. You reduced your ductwork by 33%, which is definitely going to affect your efficiency because you're forcing more air into a smaller space, which slows the air down due to back pressure. All in all, you're getting less CFM over your condenser coil, which reduces the efficiency. This might also lower the life expectancy of the compressor due to overheating.

Nice job... I just moved to Houston and it's been ~100F and I need a garage cooling solution. What do you think about adding those panel pieces for the garage door slabs?

I bought a portable (actually 2) AC unit for my garage in Florida many years ago. The first one was 9000 BTU cooling which did not bring the temp down. The second one is a 1200 BTU cooling unit. This also does not bring down the temp but is a good dehumidifier. So Basically they do not work. I did pretty much the same you did and put a dryer flapping louver vent in the wall. The problem is 2 fold. First the heat the unit generates (because all the working parts are in the room) sorta defeats the cooling it can create. The 2nd problem which some units have a fix for is that you are drawing air from your interior space and blowing it outside creating negative pressure in the garage. This causes air to come in all around the garage door. (Yes garage door is insulated and has weather stripping) Some units now have an intake air line that you also put through the wall. This will fix the second issue. Since you are using this as supplemental air to your split system I'm sure you don't have the same issues but as a stand alone for me it was a fail.

I know I am replying to a year old comment, but I have seen a set up where someone routes the portable AC exhaust through the garage door. It involves removing one of the panels of the garage door or drilling/cutting into it. Would probably skip that myself as you lose the ability to easily open and shut the door.

only thing I would of did was took a long drill bit and drilled 1 hole from inside out, to give a guide as to where I needed to make the vent hole. The inside and outside "ground level" are not always the same, so it can skew your measurements. But it turned out great. Get yourself a hand grinder with a cut off wheel. That would of worked great cutting the exhaust duct. I have always said, a guy is either a wood guy or a metal guy, very rarely both. Your a wood guy.

In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it.

Liking the mtbs

While functional, reducing the exhaust vent size like that may cause units to fail prematurely or operate inefficiently. One can go larger for short distances on the exhaust, but as a rule of thumb, never smaller. Otherwise it looks ok.

First of all nice place my reason for asking these questions... I noticed over your door there is a system similar to that of a mini split system AC/ heating system and that is wouldn't that have been enough to cool and heat the garage? If that is a mini split AC/ heating system wouldn't it have been easier to up date the mini split to cover a larger area rather than cut a hole into your beautiful house for a portable AC that won't do as well? Just asking because I find that the mini split, even though it cost more, is more efficient, covers more of the area, and acts as a larger system but ductless and less daily maintenance. Just saying. I use one in my 460sqr ft shed and man does it cool and heat. It covers up to 550 sqrt ft.

How about venting up into the attic

These portable AC units are trash due to pulling hot air from outside through all cracks in your home/garage. This happens as a result of having the compressor inside the home rather than outside as found on a non-portable ac unit/typical window unit. The room is balancing the pressure when the unit runs which pulls air from outside to balance the pressure. A window ac unit or any unit with the compressor outside like a Mr. Cool unit will keep the same air pressure inside. This results in not pulling hot air from outside through cracks to maintain the rooms air pressure which is counter intuitive in any ac unit. Should have went with a Mini split like Mr. Cool if your committed on putting a whole through the wall. Your energy bill would have been much less, and more importantly, your garage would have been a great deal cooler.

The only question I have about the setup is the fact that the exhaust is drawing air from the garage which then is creating a negative pressure which then draws in more hot air through any leaking. So if you've got the 15K BTUs you're probably only getting the 5K BTUs out of it overall. Almost seems like a larger mini split would have been money ahead, but for $290 bucks what do you expect right, :-) pretty sure the mini split upgrade would be a lot more.

@mikeslater6246

@Alex-dj9nr

2 ай бұрын

I would expect it to reduce the efficiency of the unit, but I doubt it would due damage. It's just going to reduce how fast the exhaust gets out and and that'll reduce the heat transfer across the cooling element. 6" to 4" is pretty substantial. On the bright side, it's now a super short duct, and that's good for efficiency (the longer that duct is, the more length of hot-ductwork is exposed and just heating the room back up). Like nbco said, the way portable units work, they're constantly sending a portion of the room's air out the exhaust, so they just draw in outside air through the cracks to make up for it. That's true of any portable AC (except the 2 hose ones) though, not a problem with the installation itself. But, that makes this a good application for it. If it was going to be running all the time, another minisplit would be more efficient. But for occasional use, this is a cost-effective solution and you can just eat the bad efficiency of the portable unit.

The problem with portable AC units is they pull air from the room and exhaust it outside. This creates negative pressure which pulls warm air into the room from outside.
