COOLIT2000 Series
FAQ'S
How
loud is the COOLIT2000 Series?
The COOLIT2000 Series are
designed for indoor applications and we
use advanced compressor technology to
further reduce mechanical noise. The
blowers or fans are all centrifugal type
and reduce the air noise of the unit. The
dB rating for this unit varies because of
the installation methods but is typically
less than 52 dB.

Does
the unit make water? What happens with the
condensate?
Yes, the COOLIT2000 Series
is a true air conditioner and some
moisture is removed from the air which
results in condensate. The condensate
collects in the two condensate tanks
located behind the bottom of the front
door. When the tanks fill up, the control
panel will display a yellow light to let
you know that the tanks are full. If
the tanks are not emptied within a short
time (the time period just depends on how
humid the room/application is) then the
control panel will display a red light
which will result in the shut down of the
unit. This prevents condensate
overflow. To clear the yellow/red
lights the two condensate tanks must be
emptied and put back into the unit
correctly.

OF PAGE
How
often will I need to empty the tanks?
Condensate generation is
based on various temperature and humidity
levels as well as user installation and
control settings. In the warm, humid
summer months the amount of condensate
generated will be greater than in the
cool, dry winter months. Maximum
condensate generation is .5 gallons per
hour.

OF PAGE
How
large is the condensate tanks?
The internal condensate
tanks hold approximately 2.5 gallons each
which totals five gallons. When the tanks
fill up, the control panel will display a
yellow light to let you know that the
tanks are full. If the tanks are not
emptied within a short time (the time
period just depends on how humid the
room/application is) then the control
panel will display a red light which will
result in the shut down of the unit.
This prevents condensate overflow.
To clear the yellow/red lights the two
condensate tanks must be emptied and put
back into the unit correctly.

What
if I need to run my COOLIT 24/7?
The COOLIT2000 Series has
an built-in internal condensate pump that
can be field installed to allow continuous
uninterrupted cooling. The pump has a
15’ lift capability which will get you
up to the drop ceiling level and allow for
connection to a drain line.
TOP
OF PAGE
How
long can the condensate line be?
The COOLIT2000 Series has
a condensate pump built-in that comes with
25' of 3/8" plastic tubing. You
may require more tubing than what is
supplied with the pump. You can
either attach the new section of tubing to
the supplied tubing with a coupler or
purchase a new section of tubing to fit
the required length of your condensate
drain line. You can go as far with
the tubing as long as you keep the tubing
sloping down at an angle. Again if
you need to go a long distance to your
drain then we recommend that you go up as
much as you can (up to 15') then go
towards your drain with the tubing sloping
down at an angle.

Do I
need to vent the unit to the outside?
No, you do not need to
vent the COOLIT2000 Series to the outside.
If you are cooling an enclosed equipment
environment you do need to discharge the
condenser air (warm air) out of the space
you are trying to cool. The air discharge
kit, included with each COOLIT2600 unit,
will allow for condenser air discharge
into the ceiling plenum area.

OF PAGE
How
far can I duct the unit?
The air discharge kit that
comes with the COOLIT2000 Series has
enough flexible duct to reach the ceiling
of a standard commercial building. You can
add more duct but you must keep your duct
run as straight as possible. The maximum
duct run for the condenser air is 25’.
For each 90 degree bend you must subtract
10’ from your maximum duct run length.

What
kind of maintenance is required?
Unit maintenance is quick
and easy. The COOLIT2000 Series has a
totally sealed refrigeration system. It
should not be necessary to recharge your
unit. The only regular preventative
maintenance is cleaning the washable
filter. If you are using the built-in
condensate pump then you will need to keep
the drain line clear.

What
do I need to do if I am going to store the
unit?
Before storing the unit
you want to ensure the evaporator coil is
dry and the condensate is emptied from the
tanks and pump. To do this you would
operate the COOLIT2000 Series in the fan
mode for about 5 minutes to dry out the
evaporator coil and get all the moisture
off of the coil. Turn the unit off, empty
the condensate tanks, and empty the
condensate pump. Next wipe down the
cabinet with a soft cloth and mild
detergent. Your COOLIT unit will be in
prime shape when your next cooling need
arises.

COOLIT2000 Series
Application FAQ'S
How
large of an area can I cool with the
COOLIT2000 Series?
That depends on what is in
the area you are trying to cool. All air
conditioning units are rated in BTU, or
British Thermal Unit, which is a unit of
measure. There are 12,000 BTU to 1 ton of
air conditioning. For equipment cooling we
need to determine the amount of power
being used by the equipment in the room so
we can do a basic heat load calculation.
TOP
OF PAGE
How
cold can I get my LAN room?
There is no way to tell.
The COOLIT2000 Series will give you
approximately a 20°F temperature
differential – for instance, if your
room is 80°F, the unit will deliver
approximately 60°F air. This does not
mean that your room will be 60°F. . .
that all depends on the heat load in the
room.
TOP
OF PAGE
Can I
put the COOLIT2000 Series on my UPS?
Absolutely, as long as the
UPS is properly sized.
TOP
OF PAGE
Can I
plug into an extension cord?
We do not recommend that
you operate the COOLIT2000 Series using an
extension cord.
TOP
OF PAGE
Do I
need a dedicated circuit to run the
COOLIT2000 Series?
The COOLIT2000 Series is a
mechanical device and could potentially
put noise onto the line when the
compressor starts and stops. A dedicated
line is not required but would certainly
be recommended if your computer and
electronic equipment is not protected by a
UPS or surge suppresser.
TOP
OF PAGE
What
other accessory items do I need for my
application?
The COOLIT2000 Series
comes complete with the air discharge kit
which contains everything you need to duct
out the condenser air. The standard
ducting kit allows you to duct the warm
air into the drop ceiling area, a return
air duct or through a wall.
TOP
OF PAGE
Who can
I get to install my COOLIT2000 Series?
The COOLIT2000 Seris is
designed for quick set-up. IF YOU
CAN UNPACK THE BOX, YOU CAN SET UP THE
UNIT. Installation requires no
tools; accessory parts simply slide in
place or snap together. If you elect to
use the optional built-in condensate pump
you may require the services of a handyman
or plumber, depending on the location of
your condensate drain line.

Who
Has Rented Portable Air Conditioners
From AirPac Rents?
Just a few companies who
depend on AirPac Rents to cool their hot spots.
