air force portable air conditioner wap 358db manual

I have just phoned the helpline number and they have told me (after explaining what was happening) that the machine is faulty and to take it back. If this air conditioner is struggling to keep the room cool, then a larger BTU one would be more effective. What that unit means is basically how much heat the air conditioner can shift think of it loosely like the output power of a speaker system in watts, or the horsepower of a car. If this machine doesn't have such a facility, it's a possibility that the larger one does, however I would check.īTU's are units of heat BTU stands for 'British thermal unit'. Is there no way you can rig anything up to allow constant drainage? I would ring the manufacturer and see if the product is designed to try and shift water via its vent hose. I have no idea what these numbers mean though.:o If they will both need to be emptied every few hours I may as well give up on them all together:(

Maybe I should exchange this one for that. The vent hose is always bone dry so I assume it is not evaporating the moisture and the tank is filling up too quickly.ĭo you think a bigger machine would eleviate this problem? They have a more powerful machine for £100 more. I think Fat Controller and Secam use these contraptions.Īny help/advice greatly appreciated.:) Thank you. The bloody thing weighs 30kg and lifting it up on top of the sink to drain the water is not an option after every 90 minutes. I am thinking there's a fault with mine, but do not want to take it back to the shop only to look a fool when they tell me I'm doing something wrong. Does anyone who uses a portable air-conditioner have this problem? How often do you have to drain the condensed water? The troubleshooting page doesn't say this.Īnyway. Only this time when I moved it I found a big pool of water underneath:eek:Īccording to the manual the tank doesn't need to be emptied so often. Switched it back on and after another 90 minutes it was full again. After 90 minutes?Īnyway I drained the tank (bloody difficult). According to the panel the internal tank was full. Then after 90 minutes it switched itself off. I know a few posters use these so wondered if you could advise please.
