How Does a BTU Portable Air Conditioner Work? Home air conditioning in the UK works much the same with portable units as it does with mounted options. Essentially, air conditioning systems work by removing heat and moisture from the air and circulating cold air throughout your home. With a single-hose system, the inner motor pulls warm air into the unit over evaporator coils. The refrigerant in these coils cools down the warm air, making it pleasantly cool before churning it back out into your room for you to enjoy. The refrigerant, now warm, is sent to the compressor, where condenser coils will cool it down again. The condenser coils then expel the heat drained from the warm refrigerant through a hose connected to a window. Self-evaporative air coolers will also vent any extra humidity through this hose. This prevents your room from heating up again or gaining any extra humidity. Do I Need a Dehumidifier? Air conditioners in the home and elsewhere tend to dry out the air they pump into the room, whether it’s cool air or warm air. This is because the existing humidity in the room is pulled into the unit and condenses on the evaporator coil before being expelled outside through the moisture drainage hose.
