Just
thinking about the trouble I will be in if she comes back early to find the
tumble dryer gone and her quilt stolen for insulation.
I'll
give it a go..
Steven
I
would suggest trying t termporarily insulate the vent hose with a quilt or
something ... they make effective radiators!
Phil
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

[ukha_d] 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).
Phil
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.
Phil
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
