nothing was said about needed to duct the exhaust? it is very very hot.

All commercial units that serve data centers duct to the outside. This unit comes with two options. One for a window and one for a drop ceiling. My personal preference is through the garage wall. Note that the duct that comes with this unit is 6" in diameter and will not fit the standard residential dryer vents though 6" vents are readily available.

Of course any/all A/C units generate heat. Yes, you will need to vent the hot air outside or into the attic. The unit comes with white, flexible ducting, which attacked by screwing the ducting into the discharge port on the rear of the unit. Should all be covered in the instructions. No such thing as an air conditioning unit that does not generate heat.

Yes, you need to duct. In an office building, we ran the exhaust through a ceiling tile into the plenum. It did not effect our air balance and seemed to work fine. In other types of HVAC, you may need to hook into the return air duct.

Tripp Lite and pretty much all of the portable air conditioner vendors try to hide the fact that hot air ducting to the outside of the room is required. I am not seeing any pictures or mention of it in Tripp Lite's advertising. I think it is dishonest.

Yes, still runs hot, so plan ahead where you will be mounting it. Also consider heading to the local hardware store to get longer screws and stand offs to both increase your airflow under the unit and move it a bit further from your mounting surface (which reflects the heat right back to the unit).

Not if there is a crossover between the pipes. It needs an exhaust that can build pressure.

Make sure you have adequate clearance for air intake, the motor gets hot. Also, very loud, even at low speed - but it does move a lot of air.

I'm using as exhaust for a cat box area. I have mounted it outside with about 12' of flex. the sound you here is air being drawn in.

It is recommended that you re-jet. I would not recommend this exhaust because it is too loud. It will boost your power and bust your eyedrums. Tech assistance is non-existent. Pay a little more for something better.

When I first installed the exhaust, there was a burning smell for possibly as long as a month. Maybe had a little smoking, but nothing exteme.

It gets hot fast. Too hot to shower when on full on. Even during cold weather. Seems much hotter than specs.

It really needs to be ducted. That is the purpose of the fan... to draw smoke and odors out of the kitchen. It doesn't have to be an outside duct if you have an attic area.

It seems to run very hot, I could almost fry an egg on it! Btw- it's nit supposed to be exposed to direct rain.

There is a short stub to attach duct to. About an inch long. Tail would mean it would have about a foot long piece of duct attached to it.

we went thru everything. finally retbloc which urned it to the company and reported the lurex was installed incorrectly which blocked the exhaust port. the net was also full. these two items contributed to the igniter not receiving ample airflow. since the weather has turned chilly, we haven't set it up to see if that resolved the problem.

The unit cannot be completely enclosed. It is air cooled and needs fresh air for the intake.

I didn't use the fan. I needed an exhaust fan that would exhaust to the outside atmosphere..........not room to room.

sounds like you need to buy a model that uses ductless venting. This model doesnt have that feature. Golden vantage has several models that come with a ductless vent although they dont work well but something is better than nothing!

I installed an intake fan since my power supply has a 120mm fan that is providing the exhaust functionality. That setup seems to keep everything pretty cool (&lt;40 C).

Yes, because of the way it heats and cools the opposite will be coming out of the exhaust as I believe it just inverts the process it uses to heat or cool. It's what's known as a heat pump.
