The motor at the bottom is the condensate slinger that is suppose to throw water up onto the condenser and evaporate it reducing the need for a drain. In practice it is dependent on the relative humidity - lower humidity it works fine - high humidity it shuts intermitatly down telling you to drain the unit. Cheers.

Years ago, when I was getting ready to separate from the Army, I was told that the recruiting center where I worked could not have a recruiter active who was separating. So I was ordered to go home and sit on my ass for my last 6 months in the Army. Well back then I was not one who relished sitting on my ass, so I enrolled in a nearby college to study auto mechanics. This was in 1977 and things were still pretty much old school, however during our study of recharging air conditioning units on cars, our instructor told us to find an old refrigerator compressor and we could find the intake, put a fitting on it and use it to pull a vacuum on the system before recharging it. Since I had an old fridge in my shed, I did that, it worked like a charm and I did manage to make a few bucks fixing local air conditioning in local cars, I was quite well known in our little village, and my wife worked at the only factory in town, so she put out the word. Pretty soon I had lines waiting for my service. Ah those were the good old days.

I have 2 of the portable a/c units in my house in the UK, one made in 2001 (750W 6000BTU) and the other in 2006 (1200W 9000BTU)I learnt very early on that they stop being effective after a few years, and took the 2001 made model apart to see what was inside, and to my shock, the condenser was totally clogged with dust, both sides, so to clean the one side was pretty easy with just the back of the unit removed, but the other side needed me to completely remove the front panel as well, taking a long time and a lot of fiddly screws. I dismantled my other one, a newer one made in 2006 and a differing design, and that too was clogged on the internal condenser, which you also can only clean by removing the back of the casing. Its amazing as you say that a removable filter is provided for the evaporator coil, which needs cleaning every year, but unless you strip the machines down every couple of years to completely clean the condenser coil the machines become effectively useless, overheating and cutting out, or not chilling the air properly due to the condenser not being able to dissipate its heat. Since I now know about the condensers needing cleaning every couple of years, my units are still in great working order, and the 2001 made unit is in use every year for the last 18 years. They do use a lot of electric though, and must have a balancing vent open in the room to compensate for the hot air they exhaust down the pipe out through my wall, but the cost of having proper mini splits put in in several rooms is thousands is so high that I am prepared to run with portable units even though they are less efficient. Also, as I live in the UK, our summers are not as long and hot as they are in the US, so again, I could not justify the expense of buying and maintaining a more comprehensive mini split and outdoor unit system.

I know quite a lot about these PACs, in the UK it's the only option we have as we don't have window units. That pump motor is used to spray the collected condensate on to the condenser coil to help improve efficiency and self evaporate the water. The dehumidifier mode simply runs the compressor constantly, fans on low and turns off the water pump as it's expected that the operator will use the PAC in a closed room with no hose out the window, only a small hose will be used to drain the water into a bucket. Funny thing is, this could have so easily been converted/manufactured into a dual hose system, all they needed to do was knock out the covering on next to the hot air outlet and blocked off the intake vent underneath - this would have forced outside air into the condenser then straight back out and the AC would have simply needed to recycle the air in the room, would have been far more efficient.

I have cleaned the condenser on these portable units many times. If you look closely you can take the back off of that unit. You can either blow out the dust with a compressor, or you can vacuum off the dirt. These are handy little units in a house that has 110-year-old radiator heat, no air ducts for central air . Keep at it Shango 066, and you, too, can have a wonderful modern convenience. Just leave it outside and away from your house until the roaches move out. I have done that with old electronics many times. Also, take out the motor and take a good look at it. The defect may be within reach of repair and Shangri-La.

It depends on how much money you have to play with and the climate where you live in the world - proper built in a/c system with indoor evap units and outdoor condensors and all the associated piping, cost a hell of a lot of money to install, and need regular maintenance, plus they can leak gas, which is very, very expensive to replace if you have seen some of the videos from Steven Lavimoniere, who is a plumber / HVAC engineer, and he charges something like $100 per pound in weight for refrigerant replacement, and some larger systems can take 5 - 10 pounds of gas if they ahve been leaking. They still use a lot of electricity on top of the massive purchase and install costs. For folks that dont have that much spare cash lying about or simply dont want to buy an expensive built in system on finance, then buying a couple of portable units for the main rooms you want cooling will be much less to initially outlay, and they will provide some sort of relief from hot summers. I saw the video you talk about, and agree, the portable single hose units are indeed not very efficient, but you have to weight up the pros and cons, and in that decision will be the obvious subject of costs of each system, and long term reliability. I have a mini split and outdoor unit in my living room, and also have 2 portable units for the bedrooms, but within 5 years my mini split stopped working due to gas leakage between the indoor and outdoor units, and to have it repaired would cost more than I was willing to pay, so now I use a portable in the living room - the portable I bought at the same time as my mini split, in 2006, now, in 2020, my portable still works great with yearly cleans of the internal condenser, whereas the mini split died 9 years ago, needing a fortune paying to a HVAC engineer to come and repair it, and I said, no way am I paying that kind of money.

I saw a compact AC 20 years ago in a London hotel. They're relatively new here, but not in Europe.

@Wallace I was 18 at the time, and I've never seen a AC like that. As far as the rain, I realized that once we've landed in Heathrow. This was in April, it was cold and wet. Had fun though, we stood there five days, we went to Bath, England, after that, we took the eurostar to Paris for five more. It was a great experience.

I live in the UK, and own 2 of these type of portable units, one I bought from B&Q (A UK DIY warehouse store) in 2001, and the other from the same place, 5 years later. They are pretty popular in the UK, as most folk here will not be able to justify the cost of a full a/c system installation, comprising outdoor condensor units and indoor evaporator fan units in several rooms of the house. It also depends on the country where you live, as in the UK I use my portables for most of the summer months, but the other 9 months of the year they get pushed away into a storage area. In the US, where your climate is much hotter for longer each year, having a portable in each room in a typical US home would probably be less efficient over the lifetime of the system, usually 10 - 25 years, and be less efficient than a proper, built in indoor / outdoor unit HVAC installation.

@Wallace Yeah in the UK you cant win - its either freezing cold needing the gas boiler running morning noon and night, costing 40 - 50p a gas unit, or its boiling hot in July and August, needing a/c units that use around 1KW every hour at 20p per kilowatt. Imagine how much electric a US style full HVAC installation would use, cooling their big homes with multiple indoor and outdoor units running 24/7 - I guess the US must pay a lot less for a kW hour than we do here in the UK.

@@stevejones1972 your prices for gas are way off, gas costs about 4-5p a unit which is why gas heating is popular here despite them not being 100% efficient. Electricity here costs 15p/kwh if you shop around, but a lot of people on a variable tariff so it can be 25p+. Some houses/flats don't have gas heating though so we're stuck using electric heating which works out more expensive than gas

@@joeynebulous816 Our gas units in the UK as measured by our gas meters are metric units, which are converted to kWh at billing time. A 40p - 50p gas unit in the UK is about 13 kWh, so works out to between 3 and 5p per kWh when converted. Electricity has become very much more expensive here in the last 10 years, making heating by electricity and also using clothes dryers and a/c units very much more expensive. We also pay over £5 for a gallon (4.5 litres @ £1.20 a litre) of gasoline here too - much more than the States pays on average.

Hi Shango, I think that Sylvania Retro unit you have there was one of the better made units made in Japan rather than China like the Crosleys are, also the cartridge on that record player is a legit Japanese unit rather than the Chinese knockoff version which is why it had more weight to it than the Chinese made ones that the Crosleys use. I think the units like the one you have is actually a more respectable unit that blows those Crosleys out of the water, especially with the semi-automatic turntable.

I've used that oxygen orange on a stereo component that was full of nicotine from a smoker and roach and it cleaned it up like brand-new in the smell dissipated but I made sure it was totally dry before I plugged it in by setting in front of a heat duct and letting it set there a few days and also putting it in front of a fan for a few days to make sure it's dry before plugging it in be cautious doing it don't mix water and electricity consultant authorized service center before doing

R-22 and R-410a have much different operating characteristics. R-410a is not a "drop-in" replacement. Look on your refrigeration gages I think you'll see the comparison if your gages show both refrigerant pressures and saturation temperatures. I believe most HVACR technicians use different gage/manifold sets for the different refrigerants.
@johnnytacokleinschmidt515

R410-a did replace R-22 in most air conditioning applications. The lubricant is different and the operating pressures are substantially higher than R-22. If one retrofitted an R-22 it would require different lubricant, different expansion or temperature control device and safety pressure switches. Early on some manufacturers used it with their existing condensers and had failures because the high side pressures can be 1.5 to 2 times that of R-22. Here we are. This is what they call progress. I think it's about making money. I've heard DuPont can make more money with new patented refrigerants. The old stuff works best. New refrigerants work fine in equipment designed for it.

modern plastic outlets dont catch fire the moment the heat source goes away (ie when the breaker pops because it shorted itself out) the fire will go away because of the fire retardants embedded in modern plastic.

The radio on that thing at least sounds decent. I do own one of those single hose portable A/C units for my apartment bedroom. The bedroom is always hotter. My main a/c unit is in the living room and is a 1989 Kenmore. I keep it clean, all filters and will remove it to vacuum out the condenser to keep it running as good as possible. It's not efficient though. It pumps out 20,000 BTU's so it does cool well (it's a 240 volt unit). The portable one is for a 350 square foot bedroom and it does the job quite well. Runs at about 750 watts or so.
