Why choose portable air conditioners?

Portable air-conditioners are suitable for a wide variety of applications. Our air-con range offers varied functionality, including cooling, dehumidifying, heating and ventilating. This means that cooling a room where it is seasonally necessary to do so, such as workshops, retail stores and more, can be done so with a single piece of technology (an air-conditioning unit).

The significance of multi-function air-conditioning units is that in environments where preventing moisture is as critical as cooling, it provides the perfect balance of climate control and can protect your surroundings through dry, cooled air. Our air-conditioning units also benefit from year-round efficiency, working to deliver pleasant climates regardless of outside temperatures.

This is especially valuable in cooling a room such as a server room or technical room. Where the survival of an environment’s equipment, such as a data server, so heavily relies on climate control, a powerful air-conditioning unit is the perfect solution. In fact, it can even help to extend the life expectancy of the technical devices with long-term usage.

Or if you are looking for portable air-conditioners suitable for an office environment, our solutions will help keep people comfortable and technology intact.

Depending on where you are in the world, the rules on temperature control within an office space will vary. Some countries have laws in place, and others do not prescribe the purchase of an air-conditioner.

Even without a law in place, employers are encouraged to take action should room temperatures reach levels that will endanger people’s health and the viability of equipment. When this is a risk, measures should be put in place to meet obligations with the introduction of a portable air-conditioning unit.

Another key environment that benefits from our air-conditioning systems is sales rooms and retail stores. Keeping customers comfortable helps to maximise their dwelling time, and provides a more pleasant climate for employees, too.

Portable air conditioners: Frequently Asked Questions

What is a portable air-conditioner?

Portable air-conditioners are mobile cooling solutions that are easy to install, quick to deploy and ideal for spot cooling specific zones. This makes them well suited to controlling temperatures in commercial spaces, offices, military tents, data centres, shops, and at outdoor events.

How does a portable air-conditioner work?

Our portable air-conditioners at Dantherm Group primarily capture hot air in a space and use condensate water in their refrigerant systems to cool this down internally. Cool air is then blown back into the room to keep temperatures controlled and comfortable.

What are the benefits of using a portable air-conditioner?

Portable air-conditioners are versatile, mobile and easy-to-use, requiring minimal installation and setup. They can be deployed quickly, to wherever temperatures need to be controlled, providing cool air to specific zones almost instantly.

This technology is powerful, and able to benefit a variety of environments in numerous ways:

  • Offices can keep staff comfortable and productive

  • Server rooms can protect critical equipment

  • Event tents can maintain the wellbeing of guests

  • Retail stores can maximise shopper happiness

  • Factories can create designated rest zones for workers through spot cooling

How do I install a portable air-conditioner?

Although the specific steps required to set up a portable air-conditioner will vary from unit to unit, these types of systems require no installation. Designed to be deployed wherever or whenever needed, both quickly and easily, this technology is incredibly versatile.

However, if you do have questions about getting the most out of your device after purchasing from Dantherm Group, get in touch with our skilled technicians. We are happy to assist you with any product-related questions you may have.

When and why would you use a portable A/C unit?

Able to be easily transported from room to room, portable A/C is the solution of choice if your workspace requires cool air to be delivered flexibly, or needs specific areas spot cooled. This technology can also be a lower cost alternative to fixed air-con, ideal for environments where installation is too expensive or intrusive.

This makes portable air-conditioning units ideal for many applications, such as:

  • Warehouses and factories

  • Military tents

  • Data centres

  • Retail stores

  • Outdoor events and festivals

  • Museums and galleries

  • Heritage sites

  • Pharmaceutical settings

Can a portable air-conditioner cool a large room? Or do I need multiple?

It can be difficult to predict how many machines you will need for a space. Factors, such as the size of an environment, the level of insulation, and the number of occupants, will influence the ideal size and quantity of air-conditioners required.

That’s why our experts consult with you to understand your exact requirements, and tailor your solutions to deliver unrivalled performance and savings.

Do portable air-conditioners need to be vented?

No. For example, the AC 7000, unlike many air cooling units, provides whole room cooling without the need to exhaust or vent internal air. In addition, it does not require an exhaust air duct to be mounted to an outside wall. It simply requires connecting the cooling line con­nec­tors to the outdoor heat rejection unit.

How can I find out what size air-conditioner I need?

Get in touch with one of our 600 trained experts for a free consultation on the most suitable solutions for your organisation. We’ll advise you on what size and type of air-conditioner will deliver the cooling you require, and connect you to your nearest local supplier.

What are the best portable air-conditioners for commercial use?

The best portable air-conditioners are those that have been specifically chosen to accommodate their environment. That is why we get to understand your precise requirements, and advise on the most effective solution for your needs.

Do air-con units help to clean the air?

No. Portable A/C units are responsible for cooling and recirculating the existing air in a room. If you are interested in keeping the air in your premises clean and fresh, consider investing in either a portable evaporative cooler, or using air cleaning units alongside your air-conditioner.

Can I buy your portable air-conditioners online?

For all of our portable A/C units, VAT-registered companies can get a quote very quickly by pressing 'I want to buy' and inserting their enquiry and contact details.

However, you cannot carry out the entire purchasing process on our website. This is because due to the unit you wish to purchase and your area of residence, you may or may not need to buy through a local Dantherm Group representative. We will facilitate this when you use the 'I want to buy' button for the portable air-conditioner of your choice.

Can I bulk buy portable air-conditioners for a large project?

Yes, we can fulfil bulk orders across our range of portable air-con for large, bespoke projects. Get in contact with our experts or go direct to your local Dantherm Group representative to discuss the exact needs of your project and how we can meet your requirements.
