As many regions of the United States experience rising temperatures, consumers have come to rely increasingly on cooling appliances (including portable air conditioners) to provide a comfortable indoor temperature. Home occupants sometimes use a portable air conditioner (PAC) to maintain a desired indoor temperature in a single room or enclosed space. Although PACs in residential use are few compared to centrally installed and room air conditioning (AC) units, the past few years have witnessed an increase of PACs use throughout the United States. There is, however, little information and few research projects focused on the energy consumption and performance of PACs, particularly studies that collect information from field applications of PACs. The operation and energy consumption of PACs may differ among geographic locations and households, because of variations in cooling load, frequency, duration of use, and other user-selected settings. In addition, the performance of building envelope (thermal mass and air leakage) as well as inter-zonal mixing within the building would substantially influence the ability to control and maintain desirable indoor thermal conditions. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) conducted an initial field-metering study aimed at increasing the knowledge and data related to PAC operation and energy consumption in the United States.

A portable air conditioner can provide relief from the heat when no other form of air conditioning is present. Portables can also provide a boost to your home's existing air conditioning by cooling rooms that are chronically too hot, and by selectively cooling individual rooms to save energy through reduced use of the main system. Portable air conditioners are also ideal in apartments, condos, and neighborhoods where property owners or homeowners' associations prohibit the use of window air conditioners. But choosing a portable air conditioner is harder than selecting a window unit. Because portables do not cool in exactly the same way as window air conditioners, they need to be properly matched to the space that needs to be cooled. This booklet explains how to evaluate the features of a portable air conditioner, choose the best-designed unit for your situation, determine the correct BTU (cooling) capacity, install your unit for maximum effectiveness and the lowest energy use, and perform simple maintenance tasks that can prolong the life of your portable air conditioner. In addition, this booklet details situations in which portable air conditioners may actually work better than window units, and also points out those places where a portable air conditioner may not be suitable. Not all salespeople who work at appliance stores are familiar enough with portable air conditioners to adequately explain the advantages and disadvantages of different makes and models, and neither do manufacturers always provide enough information to help you make a choice. This booklet can provide the information you need to make an informed purchase, allowing you to select a portable air conditioner that will keep you cool while using as little energy as possible.

2016-06-01 Energy Conservation Program - Test Procedures for Portable Air Conditioners - Final Rule (US Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office Regulation) (EERE) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the 2016-06-01 Energy Conservation Program - Test Procedures for Portable Air Conditioners - Final Rule (US Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office Regulation) (EERE) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 On February 25, 2015, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR), in which it proposed to establish test procedures for portable air conditioners (ACs) to determine capacities and energy efficiency metrics for portable ACs. On November 27, 2015, DOE published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNOPR) to revise the proposal by modifying the cooling and heating mode test requirements, introducing the seasonally adjusted cooling capacity (SACC) and a revised combined energy efficiency ratio (CEER), and clarifying several aspects of test setup. The proposed test procedure serves as the basis for this action. DOE is issuing a final rule to establish a new test procedure for portable ACs in a new appendix. The new test procedure in appendix CC will be used to determine the SACC and CEER for portable ACs that are subject to the adopted test procedure. The test procedure is based on industry standards, with several modifications to ensure the test procedure is representative of typical use and to improve accuracy and repeatability while minimizing test burden.
