I know with central A/C, you aren't supposed to shut the compressor off and then on again immediately. I've just found that the compressor comes on when I set the desired temp to something lower than the current temp. Some portables have two hoses, both of which go outside, which draws outside air over the coils then exhausts it again. If there is only a single hose it is probably taking some air from the room and exhausting it to cool the condenser (warm) side of the system. The heat that its sucking out of the room has to go somewhere. It has a big fat hose out the window (why so big?!) that churns out warm air when the compressor is on. It's possible that the model they do now is almost identical, so I may try and obtain a manual for that.ģ) What's with the drippy hole on the back without anything to collect the water? Am I missing something? posted by lemonfridge to Technology (8 answers total) They sold these units here in the UK from B&Q but no longer do this model. There is a small nozzle on the bottom of the unit that drips though. There is (what appears to be) a water level indicator on the control panel, but I'm not able to find any thing on the equipment itself where water might collect. If I set it to dehumidify the compressor switches off and stays off, but I have no temperature control.
Sometimes I'll switch it on and it'll hum away churning out the cool.then BAM the compressor kicks in after about a min. So loud it's hard to talk standing near it and it makes the case vibrate. When I switch it on the compressor comes on straight away and makes one hell of a noise. I've never owned an aircon unit before, so I'm not 100% what's to be expected (except the cold air!). It didn't come with a manual, and I can't find anything online.
