Does this vent contain heat?? Can you use it on portable air conditioners

This vent does not contain heat. The heat from the dryer goes into the container and hits the water that you put in the container. The water attracts the lint and then the warm air escapes through the five large openings. I do not see how this can be used for a portable air conditioner.

I set mine up to draw fumes or hot air out of my garage. It fit perfectly into the opening of a roof vent. It is only max 400cfm so your volumetric flow is not high, but to move some fumes it works. I found paint spray vapor deposited on my fan blades so it does work somewhat ok. But it is not sealed, spark proof or waterproof so think about your application carefully & be sure you are not creating a hazard

No, it is a vent free heater. However, it should not be used in a small room that is closed up.

Yes, the unit has to vented outside, heat air can go outside through the hose. the hose connect the machine and window kits. It is easy to setup. Thanks for your question.

Not recommended if using gas due to lack of vent. I use mine on the porch of my cabin. If you are using it on 120AC or 12 Volt, it should work fine.

I used it for a floor vent and the air conditioner blew it right off. I didn't try it with the heat. They are not strong enough for what they are suppose to do.

I don't know but expect it will work. I've measured from 20-212 F and seems to be reasonably accurate. I have an Everstar small portable room air conditioner. Reads 52 coming out and the tube for exhaust reads 105. Currently it is hot and humid outside. Price is right.

No it does not, which is why we purchased a swamp cooler versus a room ac unit. We did not want to deal with windows and venting

I doubt it. It definitely vents heat. We use the window kit but have it "temporarily" propped and sealed with roll caulk in the window vs. screwed into the wood. We didn't want to make it a permanent part of the window. The kit is not ideal because there is some air exchange at the window. But, the upside is that the room is definitely cooler than the rest of the second floor of our home. It's like a little oasis when it's hot.

It doesn't produce heat.There is actually a cool refreshing breeze that flows out of the front of the unit.

Sorry, I haven't used it enough to find out. My experience is, however, that the portable AC's aren't efficient air conditioners, just a whole lot cheaper to purchase and install. If I needed and AC to be operating all or much of the time, I would probably buy the a permanent installation such as Mitsubishi and others sell.

No, the vent for the heat/air is on top of the unit. It blows air up - plus it wouldn't look too good

definitely does. without venting out a window, the hot air from the compressor would just pump back into the room. But it comes with the vent tube and window adapter...essentially everything you'll need to plug it in and get cool. not the highest output unit available, but it cools a smaller room quite well (as long as its vented properly and there's not a lot of warmer air seeping into the room)

No. This is the outside unit for the air conditioning system. The heat doesn't need this. But you might need something else for it.

It has to vent to the outside to work as an air conditioning unit. If there is an accessory that would accomplish this, then yes.

This portable AC (with heater), works very well. It does not seem too noisy to me compared with other portable air conditioners. This is not to say that it silent.

Yes. The unit is installed in a 800 SF rental cottage. My tenant reports it does a good job cooling in +80 deg outside temps. I don't know how much the tenant uses the ventilation feature.
