Overview

Tripp Lite's SRCOOL12K is a next-generation air conditioner designed for supplemental area cooling, emergency cooling and off-hour cooling applications. The SRCOOL12K uses environmentally friendly R410a refrigerant, which complies with EPA standards for 2010 and beyond, and is accepted worldwide. It contains zero, ozone depleting R22 refrigerant that has been banned by the EPA for new equipment manufactured after January 1, 2010. The SRCOOL12K has a built-in evaporator that expels the condensed water through the exhaust duct, so there is no need for a drain tube, drain pan or water collection tank. Efficient, compact, self-contained and portable, the 120V, 60 Hz SRCOOL12K is ideal for use in data centers, server and wiring closets, IT environments, home and small business offices, conference rooms, warehouses, entertainment centers or other venues with heat-sensitive equipment, particularly in areas that facility air conditioning can't reach. The SRCOOL12K not only adjusts ambient room temperatures, but can also dehumidify and filter the air, providing better air quality for enhanced equipment performance with minimal noise and power consumption. Designed for quick, simple installation, the SRCOOL12K plugs into a standard 5-15R outlet with no adapter required. Both a standard louvered vent (for general room cooling) and a directional ducted cooling vent (to direct cold air where most needed) are provided. A directional exhaust duct safely removes hot air from the room. SRCOOL12K comes equipped with an auto-restart feature that retains all system settings and returns the unit back to its last operational state after AC power is restored. The SRCOOL12K meets the needs of the most demanding applications with 12,000 BTU of cooling power. A built-in timer enables the unit to be programmed for unattended start-up and shutdown. Controls and displays are conveniently mounted on the top panel. An included window/drop ceiling kit provides multiple installation options.

SRCOOL12K 5 5 16 16
Just installed this unit about a week ago. Beyond pleased with the results. I was a bit worried about the performance for the price. Really though, if you're in the market for an A/C unit, I would seriously look into this unit. Not having the run a water line to drain made the installation quick and easy. April 25, 2013

Answer: 
Just received the SR1200 today. It will be replacing another brand portable unit that is about 5+ years old. Although I have not installed the exhaust to the drop ceiling, I did run it for a few minutes. The other brand is a lot louder even though the other brand has around 700BTU and the air flow is less than SR1200 set on low. With the SR1200 set on cool, compressor on and fan on high I would compare it to a 12" oscillating fan set on medium. I would compare the other brand we have as a 16" oscillating fan on high.

Hot air from air

Hi,

Where does the outtake go? Will we need to extend a special pipe to redirect hot air from AC somewhere? The hot air has to go somewhere

Thanks

Answer: 
Please note that the SRCOOL12K unit's resulting hot exhaust air (including any associated condensates) are expelled via an included 118 inch exhaust tube ducting, with one end connected to the unit's warm air exhaust vent.

And the other end of the exhaust tube duct terminating into a Window & Drop-Ceiling Kit adapter board in order to direct the exhaust from the room. Like the exhaust tube duct itself, the adapter board is also included in the packaging.

Answer: 
Thanks for your query. Please note that there are actually no moving parts in our evaporator system. Instead, water is collected off the evaporator coil, and gathered in a shallow drip pan at the bottom of the unit. Once the water level reaches a certain level (approx. 5/8" deep) it triggers a float switch. The switch in turn activates a tiny pump carrying water from the lower drip pan to the top of the hot condenser coil. The water is then allowed to run down the hot condenser coil, evaporating as the exhaust air flows through it. The evaporated water is simply expelled from the unit via the unit's exhaust air tube and included drop-ceiling vent kit. Therefore, there are no evaporator parts to replace, and no drip try to empty!

How far of a distance will the unit push the exhaust? we have a run of about 30 feet to an outside wall. Is 4" piping large enough to carry the exhaust out?

Answer: 
Thanks for your query. Please note that the SRCOOL12K 's included exhaust tube dimensions (118" long; 4" diameter) is optimized to ensure peak blower fan efficiency. Any modification to its length will require the user to suppy a suitable plenum adapter that feeds to either a larger diameter extension tube, or to an active airduct to maintain the proper exhaust flow and ensure exhaust system reliability.
