Portable Air Conditioners
More and more people are finding great uses for portable air conditioners these days. While they have traditionally been the air conditioning method of choice for apartment dwellers, portable air conditioners are now finding their way into single family homes and even offices. At Priceground.com, we have a wide selection of portable air conditioners with the ability to cool anywhere from 50 to 500 square feet. One of the more interesting uses for portable air conditioners is in computer rooms. Computers can create quite a bit of excess heat when in use and even when simply turned on. One computer in an office or living room is not going to make much of a difference in terms of heat, but when you start talking about a small office space crowded with several computers and a server, it can be quite a different story. Computers are designed to perform optimally at "normal" room temperatures (60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit). Once they leave this optimal range, their performance can start to wane. A good portable air conditioner or two in a computer room can greatly add to the longevity of your computer systems. Another added benefit of having a portable air conditioner in one's computer room is dehumidifying the air. Intense heat combined with above average humidity can greatly reduce the lifespan of a computer. We generally recommend a portable air conditioner with a BTU rating of 12000 or over for standard computer rooms.
