portable air conditioner

vein5 said:

Well i decided to invest in a air conditioner and i am worried about smell. If the hot air is blown into the attic and the conditioner is in the room will smell be a issue? I was thinking of hooking the hot air hose to my 6 inch blower that flows through my cool tubes and out my carbon filter into the attic but i dont know if blowing hot air through my already hot 600 watt tubes is a good idea. Any input?

YES! I had this exact same problem. My first attempt I simply directly vented into the attic and my neighbors let me know how "good" it smelled in their house ( I live in a condominium that connect to my neighbors). So in a nut shell, the hot air evac from the ac will carry all that smelly goodness. I have a huge evac and filter so I built a box around my filter and vented my ac there. No more fumigating my neighbors after that
