      You could skip the insulation foil but it adds extra insulating properties. Also seals polystyrene from melting perhaps from extreme heat. Other users have used PIR and polycarbonate (@4nnetes) sheets which may also be great alternatives! Good luck

    • @advancedflea
      @advancedflea 2 роки тому

      I purchased some fly screen from Amazon, cut off the amount I needed, used a cable-tie to tie that around the end of the exhaust pipe. It does make the unit slightly louder, owing to the noise of the exhaust air being pushed though the holes in the screen material. It solves the problem though as last year I did see wasps sniffing around the pipe. They weren't able to get in though. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DDB9BFM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&th=1

    • @techlifediy
      @techlifediy 2 роки тому

      Perhaps worth checking that the net doesn't put extra strain on the air conditioner pushing the exhaust air out through added obstacle (making more noise..). But the idea sounds great and glad you found a solution to the fly problem :) Thanks for updating us all.

    • @advancedflea
      @advancedflea 2 роки тому

      @@techlifediy I had the same same thought :) It does put a little air resistance there but not a signifigant amount. It doesn't seem to be enough to affect the unit. I actually came up with a minor improvement to your design that is for people with "fan light" type windows. The window arms (used for holding the window open and locking it) stick out proud of the frame. So I got a jam jar, put that over where the window arms are, drew around it then cut a star in the foam. That way the window arms can poke through, insects are unlikely to get in, and ony minimal hot air comes back through. Perhaps I should post a video detailing it lol.

    looks good, I have a similar problem with a 10' wood fence, except whoever put it in didn't put any concrete in around the posts on my yard side, just in the easement where it was easy to access when they built it, so now half of the backside leans inward. I don'[t have allot of time at home from work to do anything so this may work for me. A tip though, always mix your concrete in a 5 gallon bucket for each post with a drill and mixer blade, and prewet the hole so the soil doesn't wick away the water fromt he concrete mix leading to a weak layer on the outside.

    @kyounokuma 2 роки тому

    Thank you so much... This is brilliant! You did a fantastic job. So much so that I just followed your directions and made one of these for a Newair AC-10100E. We just moved into a house, and the window screens are inside the window glass. This seal is perfect for that. It even allows for removing the seal and opening the window quickly when the air conditioner is not in use. The only thing I changed was that I used a thinner sheet of foam core and wrapped it in insulation on both sides for a slimmer profile. I also covered the edges of the hole with duct tape after adding the insulation, similar to how you wrapped it earlier in the video when you reinforced the edges around the polystyrene before applying the insulation. So basically, I did it twice to complete the hole, making it durable enough that the hose can be removed intermittently when the seal is not in use. I also made sure that the foam core was wholly sealed from moisture. I then added a gasket along the edge in places that didn't have velcro. When installed, the hose is flush with the windscreen which automatically protects the open end of the hose and prevents problems with pests. I live in Hawaii, and the sun is really intense here all year round and heats up homes in no time during the day. I'm using this in conjunction with the De'Longhi insulated hose cover, and the unit cools my office quickly. The hose cover is a MUST-HAVE for any portable air conditioner owner. It's night and day, in terms of the performance and efficiency of the unit. The hose cover prevents heat from escaping into the room from the exhaust hose. The De'Longhi one WORKS. The hose is barely warm to the touch even after using the unit for a few hours. My office is about 135 sq ft with a 20 ft sloped ceiling that heats up dramatically in the late afternoon sun. This seal is a headache saver. Thanks again.

    Looks exactly like mine, even the crossbars. Question: Do you have a problem with loud humming in your front end/windshield area at spontaneous times? I started noticing this vibration/noise in what seemed like the time period after having my crossbars and rails installed. Maybe it was something that was coming on anyway, I don't know, all I know is they didn't know what was causing it as it never did it to them when they had it (of course). Then, I noticed the cover to the rear view mirror wiring was lifting on the passenger side, and before I knew it, my windshield started leaking. They replaced the windshield, and I was praying that would fix that noise, but it still does it, but it doesn't seem as loud as before. Time will tell. Does any of this sound familiar?

    • @techlifediy
      @techlifediy 2 роки тому

      This is such a coincidence! We started getting this humming noise recently in our Evoque too!! It seems as if it comes from the box area where the internal rear view mirror is attached to. It triggers exactly at 39 - 43 mph, otherwise it isn't there. Something to do vibration resonance perhaps. No idea if it is to do with roof rails or cross bars. We have had these on for a year now, usually carry an XL Thule roof box. Will keep you posted if we find a solution and likewise if you do, please drop a comment back! Thanks for stopping by.
