Portable Air Conditioner No Vent

Hi there:

I have a small work room in the attic that is insulated, wired, and completely sealed from the rest of my attic. I bought a portable air conditioner. There are no windows. Should I drain the a / c in the rest of the attic or roof ventilation? Also, what should I use to make a contribution of fresh air from outside .... just a vent second with a good screen and a fan to draw air in? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Through the wall or window unit .... would be a good way to describe a unit. So I'm not sure what you're talking about. The units of type I mentioned should be installed as the name implies. Safety first.

You should never led anything in your attic. It will possibly excessive moisture and mold. If you can get the leads to somewhere in your soffit would be a good place to put the vent Something like a hidden air dryer should work. Good air intake is all that is needed to draw air in. The AC / will pull all the air it needs without assistance. Be sure to find a way to block the vents in the winter or you have a cold.

You must evacuate the pipes of the portable air conditioner outside.You should do so through a side wall. Place a screen blocking bird above the fireplace. Also, cut the hole below the vent pipe if the rain will not enter

Yes, one more vent with a screen blocking bird and a fan would be hard work ...

Good luck!

Try venting through the roof, even with the contribution. Do not vent into the attic. You will be introducing more moisture than the attic needs and support could ruin your roof.

You say you have a closed room inside the attic? If so you do not need to do another water intake, the air your attic is essentially considered "outdoor air" assuming it is properly soffitted. Just a hole in the wall of your "room within a room" and hang the portable air conditioners. As far as I know there is no way to connect any kind of breakdown of a portable AC unit, as they n have no connections, and are intended to be used in windows and other outdoors in front of holes. "You do not really want to try and jimmy rig an exhaust system through a hole in the roof, sounds as a recipe for disaster. All building codes consider the attic to the outside air for the purpose of any mechanical way. thats why furnaces and water heaters should not provide special air vents when they are installed in attic.Again, as it is soffitted. Your only problem is what to do with the collection of moisture. As the window unit will restore some moisture. If your attic room is small, Probably will not have long-term cool little room downstairs, in this case, simply put a large pan or even a bucket under it. If it is attic Inthe hot, the heat will probably s evaporate before it needs emptying. If it's wet, perhaps not. Thats the fun part for you, try it. If it comes down to it, you can always make a PVC drain drilling and soffits on an area of land that nobody walks, perhaps the side / rear yard.

Edit: I think the key to answering this question is whether or not there is a unit of "window" or a "unit vents. If a window unit, there is no way to link movement and aeration or her. If it is a unit that has links on it for the pipe, is another story all together. But it is much rarer and usually sold only through professional installers.
