How does a portable work?

Essentially warm air is drawn into the machine from the room, heat is removed by cooled refrigerant and cool air is passed out by a fan.

There are 3 main components to a portable air conditioning unit:

The Compressor
The Evaporator (Or heat exchanger or cold coil.)
The Condenser (Or Hot Coil)
The compressor is the engine of the Air Conditioner, It pushes the refigerant around the Air Conditioner.

Air is drawn in by a fan over the evaporator which contains refrigerant under low pressure and very cold.

The air is instantly cooled and moves out through the front air vents.

Heat is gathered by the evaporator, held in the refrigerant, and taken to the condenser.

Air passes over the condenser where it takes the heat from the refrigerant.

The heated air is expelled through a hose or from the condenser box in split units.
Single units

Single units possess all three main components in one, and are vented to the outside by means of the hose. (Similar to a cookerhood extractor or tumble dryer hose.)
