COOLIT3000 Series
FAQ'S
How
loud is the COOLIT3000 Series?
The COOLIT units 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 58 dB.

Does
the unit make water? What happens with the
condensate?
Yes, the COOLIT3000 Series
is a true air conditioner and some
moisture is removed from the air, which
results in condensate. The condensate
collects in the condensate tanks located
behind the front door. When the tanks fill
up, the unit will shut off to prevent
condensate overflow.
TOP
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.
TOP
OF PAGE
How
large are the condensate tanks?
There are two internal
condensate tanks which each hold
approximately 2.5 gallons, for a total of
5 gallons. When the tanks are full
the COOLIT unit will shut off to prevent
condensate overflow. You must empty the
tanks and properly reseat the tanks in the
compartment before the unit will operate.

What
if I need to run my COOLIT unit 24/7?
The COOLIT3000 Series has
a built-in condensate pump that can be
used 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.

OF PAGE
How
long can the condensate line be?
The COOLIT3000 Series has
a built-in condensate pump 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 as you
need to 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, 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 COOLIT3000 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 warm air duct
is built-in to the top of the unit, and
allows for condenser air discharge into
the ceiling plenum area, out a window, or
through a wall.

OF PAGE
How
far can I duct the unit?
The warm air duct that
comes with the COOLIT3000 Series is enough
to reach the ceiling of a standard
commercial building. You can add a few
more feet of ducting but you must keep
your duct run as straight as possible.
TOP
OF PAGE
What
kind of maintenance is required?
Unit maintenance is quick
and easy. The COOLIT3000 Series has a
totally sealed refrigeration system. It
should not be necessary to recharge your
unit. The only regular preventative
maintenance is cleaning/replacing the
filters. If you have been using the
automatic condensate pump system, you 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. First you would operate the
COOLIT3000 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 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.

COOLIT3000 Series
Application FAQ'S
How
large of an area can I cool with the
COOLIT unit?
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.

OF PAGE
How
cold can I get my LAN room?
There is no way to tell.
The COOLIT3000 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.

OF PAGE
Can I
put the COOLIT unit 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 COOLIT3000 Series using an
extension cord. If an extension cord
is required, use a cord rated at least 20
amps at 250 volts with a grounding type
attachment plug and grounding type
connector (load fitting).
TOP
OF PAGE
Do I
need a dedicated circuit to run the COOLIT
unit?
The COOLIT3000 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 COOLIT3300 model comes
complete with the integral
expandable/retractable warm air duct
system for the condenser air. The standard
ducting kit allows you to duct the warm
air into the drop ceiling area, a return
air duct, out a window, or through a wall.
The COOLIT3000 model allows you great
flexibility for ducting the cold air and
warm air. This model is easily
adaptable with standard fittings and duct
available from many supply stores.

OF PAGE
Who can
I get to install my COOLIT unit?
The COOLIT3000 Series 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 condensate pump you may
require the services of a handyman or
plumber, to run 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.
