The operation of portable air conditioners does not differ from that of conventional air conditioners. Their main difference lies in their construction. While conventional air conditioners consist of two parts, the indoor and outdoor unit, portable air conditioners integrate both units into a single device.
Additionally, they need to expel air into the environment through a duct. For this reason, they come with a flexible hose that can be adapted to a window, balcony door, or even a wall with an opening.
Advantages of portable air conditioners:
- Low purchase cost (compared to a conventional one)
- No installation required by a technician
- Ability to cool more than one room in the same house
- Easy to transport
