Why didnt the manufacturer just make it a 2 hose ac?

Think im going to do something simpler and just tape up the vents then tape on the 2nd hose to the vent.

Awesome . I have the same unit and looking to do something similar

Can you make your own chain of nails. I was thinking laying them down at the right angle and running small bead of silicon to hold in place.

Just did this to my back up unit for the garage. I have a 14kbtu midea duo unit one 1 side of the garage but I notice in the peak of hotter days it struggles. My garage is right at the maximum the unit can handle at 500sqft. I had a 12kbtu Toshiba that wasn’t in use so I decided to use it. I realized quickly I needed to do the dual hose hack on it. That dam thing was sucking the door shut on the garage and making the garage door flex when it would kick on lol. After converting it to a dual hose design, it completely fixed it.

This is the same unit as the midea 8000 BTU they sell today.

Wont work You'll still have air from within the house.Feeding out your too because you're the bighter between the first original blower and the two coils

my aircon was leaking from the gaps and even from the top vent bypassing the filter if i do it like that

Fill the container holding studs with soapy water clutch drill. Your awesome for showing me a new type of studs. Thanks.

Would a drill with a clutch help. It used to with my dirtbike and Kold kutters studs.

Interesting. I assume the spring is to keep the light from bouncing everywhere when on trails. I want to mount one of these piaa lights to a yamaha Nikens lower Ackerman support

No need to make the block, the the blue SERIES-i cylinder connectors have a male-male adaptor with seals

wth???? i got a logik unit and it looks EXACTLY the same! except with that metallic stripping, i feel like they steal the models and just redesign it a lil bit, rebrand it and wallah

How is holding davn

My portable ac has two inlet vents. One is blue and the other gray. Which is the one I should use vent out the window? Anyone know?

Just put the unit outside and put a hose from the cold fan to the room. No two hoses needed.

i know this is old but got a tobisha single hose for my studio and im in the SC it hasn't worked right till i did this now seems to be working i cant use dehumidifier cause my guitars but ac works

Do you have correct jet fot the fuel?

Awesome!! Thank you

Wouldn't insulating the exhaust hose also increase efficiency?

You may want to insulate both hoses . That would stop the losses of cool room air chilling some of the air in he hoses.

I hope its working well now

The efficiency is really High like this i've done the same thing😊

LOL I had almost that same set up with the fans blowing the air out of my bedroom to cool the hallway area. Definitely works & helps.

There seems to be a little gap o At the top of the styrofoam, won't air in the room leak in?

These might be good on west coast winter roots and wood work. A little pricey experiment though 😮

have you figured about what percentage less electricity you are using less with your two hose conversion?

Great job, one question that I'm really interested to know is, what is a "Magic marker!?""...Does it actually possess magic, or are you a wizard!??...your video is awesome!!,,...maybe magical too!!..lol

unless you have a inverter technology ac the power consumtion in dehumid mode should be the same as the compressor can only turn on and off and instead of turning off at a set temp it keeps going until you turn it off. The only diffrence is that on most units the fan speed is locked to low so yeah not very much energy savings

Very cool! Thank you.

I just did this mod but instead of using foam I just duct taped the hose to the grill cover and taped off the rest of the grill. Used speaker gasket tape on the edges of the grill for a better seal. I'm just a little worried now that I could damage my unit being 1: how I just taped the hose to the grill and taped off the rest making the suction more focused on one area and 2: our summers can get up to over 110 F on really hot days. I don't want to damage this unit as it's my life line for summers

You might find this video interesting. Maybe just the initial logic of the 2 hoses only could require more tweaking. ua-cam.com/video/rh6fk2AucP8/v-deo.html

1. How to avoid bugs from entering? 2. How to deal with moist outside air and rain? There are no models available with two hoses where I live - Good idea to use styrofoam to make the adapter. Thanks!

dude! inspirational. I'd like a sherpa x but can't afford it. I've been so curious about modifying a bob trailer like this. hows the bobs back wheel/ hub hold up? do you still have this set up? anything you learnt that'd you pass on to the next guy thinking of doing this..?

Great vid and nice explanation. I wonder that in order to keep noise level down in a bedroom ('cause these portables are noisy), could the unit simply be placed outdoors on say, a covered deck and have the cold evap output air be gathered and ducted back through the bedroom window? What else would there be needed with this scenario?

I think in my opinion the silent burner is the issue in not letting the fuel burn properly, I would revert back to the flame spreader, as the yellow flame is not good when cooking.

What size filter does the lens take? Thank you!

now if the nails were also cheap or you could make your own belts to drive in normal nails, these guns wouldn't be a scam anymore ;)

Does it's ok really works ? Because some people says single hose ac r not insulated from inside so 2nd hose doesn't work.

It makes you wonder why they are not a two hose system to begin with.

Nice Watch and NATO Strap.

Hey bro. This is a great video. Thanks. Imma do this right away.

I have a dual hose unit and it's soooo much more effective. With the single hose unit (which was also 9000btu) it just felt like the only cool air was the immediate area in front of the unit. It was awful.

I'm buying a similar unit (with a different brand) and I can't find any info regarding that water hose.. Does it have some internal capacity or does it need to be always connected to a drain? Thanks!

how to create this foam thing? Do you have some sugesstion, or maybe video how to connect second hose? I have excactly the same air conditioner, but i have no idea what use to prepare proper connection

The links you mentioned in another comment seem to be missing from the description

Thanks so much for this! I just ordered my first portable air conditioner and was super annoyed that it's almost impossible to find a dual hose version in the UK. Managed to get a good deal on a 12,000btu version with dehumidifier and heat functions and wondered "hmmm I wonder if it's possible to make it dual hose...". This looks great and you answered my main question which was how to work out where the 'air treatment inlet' is versus the 'machine cooling inlet'. I also plan on running measurements of how much energy the machine uses over 2hrs before and after the change. I imagine I will see a massive improvement. Thanks again for taking the time to document your progress.

Awww man! You're lucky, yours has a removable door for you to hook up that extra duct, mine doesn't. It looks the same though as yours, layout wise (evaporator up top behind a cover, exhaust on the right) and intake on the left, except my cover is a one piece unit. Still doable just a bit more work maybe? Update: less work actually according to what I did today, hehehe. I got a piece of rectangular ductwork (universal boot duct) 10 inches long by 4 wide and turns into a 5" hose. Then simply used 4 self tapping screws to fasten the 4 flaps I cut out of the boot and bent right over the intake grill and into the panel too and Gorilla taped around it. Done, half-hour worth of work, super simple and really helped the efficiency. Never had to modify anything really and it's super solid. It certainly has improved how horrible it was before, talk about bad, wow. Literally doing almost nothing. It's still not that great, but it's better, definitely much better. I can't complain, it was a free A/C unit and $30 worth of duct work and tape, so...... Lowered humidity in here by like 15%-20%, not too shabby. Takes the edge off, even if it's not really "cool", that's just how these work in larger wooms, which this is in. Quite large and doing my kitchen and hallway, so it's a lot to expect. It's more efficient now than with one duct, no question, it's pulling in serious air from outside and blowing colder air now.

I’ve been looking for this information, thanks from the future
