Water-cooled air conditioner

Water-cooled air conditioners can be used in areas where cooling is required. CSrental has a range of water-cooled air conditioners that can be used in locations where temporary cooling is required. These include offices, server rooms, conference rooms, shops and measurement and control rooms. The portable water-cooled air conditioner is safe to use and can be easily installed.

How does a water-cooled air conditioner work?

How does a portable water-cooled air conditioner work? The air conditioner consists of an indoor and outdoor unit, connected by a connecting hose. The connecting hose ensures water circulation between the indoor and outdoor units. The connecting hose only circulates water and no other coolants.

The indoor unit of the water-cooled air conditioner consists of an evaporator and a condenser. The indoor unit provides cooling as opposed to the outdoor unit, which dissipates heat. In an installation with a water-cooled air conditioner, it is possible to lay the connecting hose through walls, across ceilings, through air ducts or across the ground without having to perform any cooling operations. The advantage of this is that the water-cooled air conditioner can be deployed quickly and smoothly at any time.

Type of water-cooled air conditioner

As explained in the operation of a water-cooled air conditioner, the mobile water-cooled air conditioner works by means of a connecting hose between an indoor and an outdoor unit. This composition ensures that heat is removed from the room and a pleasant climate is created in the room in question.

Besides the standard version of the water-cooled air conditioner, there is also a version that runs with fresh water. The water-cooled air conditioner PT FW is a model that is connected directly to the water supply, the heat is then released to the cold water. This variant of the mobile water-cooled air conditioner has sufficient water pressure that even pipes over 100 metres long can be connected to it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Water-Cooled Air Conditioning (FAQ)

What is a water-cooled air conditioner and how does it operate?

A water-cooled air conditioner consists of an indoor unit (cooling the air) and an outdoor unit (rejecting heat), interconnected via a water circuit. No refrigerant is circulated through the connecting line, only water. This allows the connection piping to run through walls, ceilings, or ductwork without refrigerant work, enabling fast and safe deployment.

How does a water-cooled system differ from an air-cooled one?

An air-cooled conditioner rejects heat into ambient air, while a water-cooled system transfers heat via water. This enables longer piping runs without significant performance loss and is especially useful where venting hot air externally is impractical or undesirable.

When should I choose a water-cooled air conditioner?

You select water-cooled when you need rapid, temporary cooling without extensive installation constraints. It is ideal for server rooms, meeting rooms, control rooms, or office areas where no external ducting is available. The unit is plug-and-play in many cases and easily connected in confined or interior spaces.

What is a “FW” (fresh-water) version and when is it used?

An FW model (PT-4500 FW) connects directly to the potable water supply. Heat is rejected into the cold supply water rather than through an external outdoor unit. This version requires no outdoor placement and is suitable when long piping runs or no external openings are present.

How do I determine the correct cooling capacity?

Capacity depends on room volume, internal heat loads, insulation, and temperature differentials. A rule of thumb is: Required kW ≈ (room m³ × heat-load factor) ÷ 1000. For critical spaces like server rooms or process areas, a continuous cooling demand is typical. We can run precise calculations for you based on your parameters.
