Innovations in Portable Air Conditioners

Portable air conditioners are one of the latest in a long line of innovations for keeping the human body at a safe, comfortable temperature. Factories, which produce high levels of heat in many areas of their buildings, find the concept of mobile air conditioners especially appealing. In addition to the difficulties extreme prolonged heat causes to workers, the machinery itself suffers the effects of the heat it produces. Machinery has an optimal temperature range, and anything outside this range invites the danger of excessive wear and poor performance. The products manufactured are often dependent upon remaining within a range of temperature; if exceeded, the results are the product being out of specification.

Portable air conditioners enable machinery and products to be maintained at an ideal temperature without freezing workers or wasting money cooling parts of the plant that do not require cooling. With mobile air conditioners, the cool air goes where it is needed when it is needed. Waste from prematurely worn out equipment is prevented. Waste from product that falls outside specifications is reduced. Employees are more productive and unnecessary cooling is eliminated by simply being able to deliver the air-conditioned air where it is needed.

Prior to the development of mobile air conditioners, factories where limited in their ability to rearrange work floors; the question of whether a prospective site would be cool enough for a specific machine to function at maximum efficiency was prevalent. Now their availability allows for flexibility in manufacturing.
