    Portable A/C Unit....Gauging Interest

    The last of the $75 units are gone. The order went in for more stock and due to the tariffs, the adapters price hike is now $90. Wanted to update so there is no confusion. Thanks.

    Portable A/C Unit....Gauging Interest

    It would be tough unless the load can significantly be reduced on the a/c unit. The compress under full load will consume just as many amps as a standard non DC compresor. Your inrush would be lower but as the comp would ramp up, you are back to square one. Where it makes the difference it that...

    The cost of a window unit that has a DC inverted compressor is 5x the cost of the walmart/home depot special compressors units. Yes a DC unit will consume less power but that comes at a cost. I personally would not touch one given the environment that I currently use my standard window shaker...

    Portable A/C Unit....Gauging Interest

    Was able to reduce the inrush amp draw by 6A making the inrush current draw 16A down from 22. That's %37.5 decrease in amp draw averaged. This was achieved by using a hard start kit for the compressor. Even short cycled the unit so to have high condenser pressure and the highest draw was only...

    I am familiar with the wired remotes...I could offer that as well but trying to keep affordable. It's an easy mod that most home builders could perform. For me I am old school. Set it and forget it. Pile on the blankets....lol. if the compressor stays running, less fuel consumption. Unless at a...

    Portable A/C Unit....Gauging Interest

    Way to go. I think there MAY be a GE model that looks and uses the same frame. Only issue I see is that the opening on the adapter for the controls may not be sized for the IR remote sensor. But too to know there are other options available

    Adapters are available now as are the full turnkey units. About a week to assemble once ordered. Running Watts was measure at 384W or 4A(PF of .8). Checked the inrush/starting amp draw and varies from 17A to 22A after ten runs using a Honda Eu2000. This was also tested during the units...

    Portable A/C Unit....Gauging Interest

    Thanks and not trying to compete per se just trying to get weight and cost down and footprint. I have an overland trailer so I have the space but some do not. Footprint matters. I can also offer each part individually for budget minded home builders as well. The adapter is the heart of the...

    Pics here. With respect to konakid(my fav city in the big island) no the adapter will not fit your unit. My adapter is model specific. I use a Frigidaire FFRA0511R1. I believe GE make same. Cheap and can be had just about anywhere. Cheap enough that should it die, its cheap to replace...

    UPDATE: See page 3 post 34 I have had some interest in an adapter I have had made for a specific window unit which allows ducting to be placed anywhere it can reach and as long as there is 120VAC available for the unit itself. Have two out there at the moment and have been asked if a kit or...
