Interesting points. Yes, the Mr. Slim is a ductless unit. So I assume during extended power outages, most people run a generator to their existing AC unit? I also assume that would require an electrician to hard wire something outside the building? Sounds like a much better solution to me.

And don't forget they have to be properly vented. And the for all the CFM in hot air it vents to the outside of the room somewhere it's going to create negative pressure and suck warmer air from outside the room, above the ceiling tiles, etc. So you will have to overcome the temperature increase caused by that in addition to the BTU's your gear is creating. 11000 BTU isn't really a lot when you start adding things up. You may be better off putting your Mr Slim, which I assume is some type of ductless system, on the generator and not worry about secondary cooling. ________________________________ From: John C Owen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 2:22 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Portable A/C for computer room? HI David, We have used portable A/C units in the past. You would need to purchase a unit that has a way to pump the water out instead of collecting in a condensation cup Our only issue was when the cup filled up, the unit shut off and the room of course got hot. Good Luck.

From: David Mazzaccaro [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 3:11 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Portable A/C for computer room? I am looking for suggestions on a portable air conditioner for my server room. Room is 9' x 13' and currently has a Mr. Slim AC unit in it. In the event of a power outage, I am planning on using a portable generator to run a portable AC unit to keep things cool. >From what I've seen on Lowes.com and other places, 11,000 BTU units are under $500. Any thing else I need to look for when getting one of these? . . ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
