I have not finished the outside of the box yet (I am waiting to get my controls system finalized before I finish it). I have created my wooden water box – the wood inside has been stained with a polyurethane stain (PolyShades), and all corners/cracks have been sealed with a standard silicone.
So, instead of that, I am building a water box that the AC unit will drain into, and when the water level gets to a couple inches, I’ll have it pumped out the window.Ĭurrently, I have the system functioning, but it is not complete. Then you have to roll it over to the bathroom, or someplace, pick it up and drain it out. The AC units have tanks in them, and when they fill up they shut down.

So, I decided to go with a portable AC unit for now.įor those of you who have never used a portable AC unit, the problem is that when you cool air it causes condensation, and water builds up. However, in a 3 story place, the 3rd story gets very hot. I recently moved to the Portland, Oregon area, and found very few houses and even apartments have AC systems installed – due to the weather they aren’t needed as much as other areas. My next project will be a water box for a portable AC. However, I have noticed a decent amount of activity and interest, so I am picking it back up with some current projects. Due to my career and life changes, I abandoned my blogging. Since then, I have changed jobs twice, and moved to two different locations – its been a hectic last couple of years.
I originally started this blog as a part of a project for my EMBA.
