Hey everyone! So been meaning to this project for awhile. I did not realize how poor the efficiency of single vent portable air conditioners are, had I known, I wouldn't have gotten this unit. Decided to make this a bit better without breaking the bank. I use this unit for cooling off my garage during the summer when working on my small engine projects. It does very well for a two car insulated garage.
***For the dehumidifier mode, it's actually not a true dehumidifier. Normally a dehumidifier runs the humid over the evaporator coils to remove the moisture of the air leaving cooler air, but then directs the dry/cool air over its condenser coils to heat the air up before dumping the warmer dry air back into your room. The dehumidifier mode is basically still air conditioning as the unit does not redirect the cool/dry air over the condenser coils. The fan is locked to low speed you cannot change it. It still dehumidifies, but it is also still cooling. Not the worst thing during a hot summer. My apologies I did not touch upon this point in this video, but I did an update on this below.
All the parts used are below. Thank you for watching!
