Temporary Cooling Your Portable Solution

Once an HVAC unit has had a proper installation, it typically remains stationary and operating for decades to come. On the other hand, some situations call for cooling, heating, and dehumidification to be used for a short time. In these instances, it is important to have a temporary cooling or portable solution.
. The most common conventional applications are construction sites, industrial and manufacturing pharmaceuticals, education institutions, and commercial office space. Additional uses are server rooms, events and function facilities, restoration and remediation, and emergency response. New construction or reconstruction is where most of these uses can be applied. With that being said, one wants to ensure that these temporary HVAC units are cost-effective and environmentally friendly options.

Choosing a Temporary Portable Unit

In choosing the proper Temporary units you would want one that is capable of cooling only, heating only or cooling/heating and dehumidification. Furthermore, a unit that can also be used indoors and outdoors where condenser air is duct-able to the outside or into a plenum. Additionally, you would want it to be designed incorporating a flexible duct to move the conditioned air where it is needed. They should also provide a free-blow capability and have the flexibility, to be used with the flexible duct using optional duct adapters. Occasionally the capability to mount the unit on a pod would be beneficial. Of course, the handling of smaller units could be easier by providing them with casters. Furthermore, easily transporting a compact trailer unit to a job site can be of great value.

A value-added reason for utilizing a temporary HVAC system is a project’s first cost. Another financial benefit of a temporary unit is the exclusion of HVAC equipment from the first cost of the building’s program construction. Some examples would be if there was a lack of equipment room space, no in-house operations, and maintenance labor cost. Still, other value-added reasons would include no in-house inventory cost. The final reason would be to avoid the end of life replacement costs.

Portable Temporary Mobile Cooling Units

Most of the time HVAC units installations occur in a particular location where they live out their usefulness. However, there are other times when commercial heating, cooling, and dehumidification can be the right solution. Situations sometimes arise where the requirement of HVAC units is short term. This is where a portable/temporary/mobile cooling or heating unit can be the perfect solution.

Sometimes mobile temporary HVAC units replace a permanent unit when shutting them down for a period of time. Other times it might be a special event such as a large tent gathering. This sometimes encompasses natural disasters or even healthcare facilities. The instances where portable commercial cooling can be used are infinite. Manufacturing spot cooling, plant shutdowns, emergencies, and telecommunication rooms to name a few.

United CoolAir Mobile Units

Portable units are usually, but not necessarily on wheels and placed in any commercial building or space and even outdoors and powered by a generator. United CoolAir produces units that range from 3–30 tons. Larger units are sometimes trailer mounted to provide quicker transportation to a particular job site. This makes them a valuable resource when there is a call for these types of situations.

While most portable HVAC units are air-cooled, water or chilled water are occasionally used. Although cooling and heating units involve a huge market share, they also use dehumidification. In this case, dedicated heating units look very similar to their counterparts. Rugged United CoolAir units are so due to their metal construction. Furthermore, rental companies stock up on these exceptional units as part of their fleet. However, if renting a unit for more than a few times, anybody can purchase these portable units factory direct. This can lead to enhanced cost savings.

Advancements are ongoing in the portable A/C industry such as United CoolAir’s mobile units that provide UV-C light to disinfect airborne pathogens. In order to meet today’s portable HVAC needs, new products will continually arise on the market.
