Portable Air Conditioner dual hose conversion plate

thingiverse

If you're stuck using portable air conditioners, this might be an option worth considering. Most stores and online retailers either only offer single hose air conditioners, or those that do offer dual-hose air conditioners charge twice the price for them. I also have yet to see a single dual-hose portable air conditioner that isn't huge and designed for large spaces. Many of these single-hose units can be adapted rather easily, as long as the right parts are available. What's the difference? Efficiency. The second hose will allow the unit to source outdoor air for the exhaust rather than sucking up and wasting the indoor air it just spent all that time cooling down. That's before you consider the fact that the room has to suck in air from somewhere else to replace the air that the single-hose air conditioner just sucked outside. Where will that come from? Frequently, the answer is "hotter places". In other words, single-hose air conditioners are extremely wasteful.
