minus-squareEndlessNightmare@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoDual-hose portable ACs avoid the vacuum problem. You just need to have good sealing around the intake and exhaust hoses.
minus-squarestarik@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoSo it creates positive pressure in the house?
minus-squareEndlessNightmare@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·23 hours agoThe air that is brought in from outside via the intake hose is the same air that is heated and then ejected through the exhaust hose. In theory, it shouldn’t cause a change in pressure.
minus-squarestarik@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-213 hours agoSo there is a separate intake and output inside the house for the cold air?
minus-squareEndlessNightmare@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·13 hours agoOutside air. If you are using AC, the intake probably isn’t cold. But: air in => heated up by the AC => sent out. 2 hoses in the window that connect to the back of the AC unit.
