Thanks,
The
wife has gone out so I have disconnected the tumble dryers vent and
attached the
a/c t the outlet instead. I'll leave it t run and see what happens
over
the next couple of hours.
So far
we have reached a 23 degree mark, so there could be hope
yet...
Steven
I
have one of these.
Our
room is about 16'x12'. If I turn the unit on when going out to work in the
morning, it'll keep the room at around 20 degrees as long as the door is
kept
shut. If the other inconsiderate souls (don't get me started, just don't
get
me started) keep leaving the door open, at best it'll manage 22 or 23
degrees.
Don't trust the temperature display on the unit. It barely reads below 25
on
mine but the thermometer the other side of the room says 20. This also
means
you can't really rely on the automatic temperature control. Just set it t
16
and forget it. And go and hire a core drill to fit that vent kit. Having it
fed through a window will not allow it t do an effective
job.
I
haven't got a scanner connected at the moment, so I can't copy the manual
for
you but if there's anything you need to know, just ask (the manual's
useless,
BTW!)
Cheers,
Steve
(Wishing he'd managed to get hold of a split
unit!)
I
didn't have a proper exhaust kit with the unit but managed to get Homebase
t throw in a couple of parts for a tumble dryer vent. The air out of
the duct is warm/hot (may be 35 degrees) and the air from the vent on the
unit is cooler than the room air (may be 18 degrees).
I haven't knocked any holes through the wall yet t set the exhaust
in permenant location but there external air temperature is colder than the
room at present.
The URL for the manufactorers site is http://www.kingpost.com.tw (model
RAE-007) has anyone else bought one of these and has a view on it's
performance?
Thanks again for the help.
Steven

Homebase air/con
It's a single unit (hot air pipe out the window) job isn't it? I'm
afraid they're not exactly wonderfully efficient ... it's the splt unit
ones that turn the room int a fridge!
Basically if the air out of the room exhaust is cold and the air
out of the window exhaust is warm then it's doing its job ... stupid
question I know but you *DO* have the exhaust going out of a window don't
you? Is the window open or have you sealed round it (warm air comes in
which makes the AC's job more difficult).

The unit is operating in a room that is around 12ft by 9ft and
has been running on full blast for around 4 hours. It doesn't seem
to be able t reduce the temperature below 24 degrees, does this sound
healthy or time for a service call??
Steven
I'm afraid I can't help out on the manual for this
one...
The refrigerant should be rechargeable/refillable if necessary
however you shouldn't have to worry about it - I mean, do you worry
about this on a fridge? We have portable units at work which are five
years old and are working fine.

Hi,
I have just managed to find a Homebase air conditioning unit
and have a couple of questions that I hope you can help me
with. The unit is made by King Post Industries and has a model
number of RAE-007, it looks like it was manufactured around
1998.
1) Does anyone know the life expectancy of
the refrigerant within these units?
2) Is it possible t have the refrigerant
replace within a portable unit?
2) Can anyone e-mail me a copy of a
manual?
Thanks in antcipation,
Steven
