OVERVIEW

Need High-Capacity Cooling Without Permanent HVAC Changes? This Air-Cooled 144,400 BTU Commercial Portable Air Conditioner Delivers Immediate Relief Exactly Where You Need It

When cooling becomes critical, there’s no room for guesswork. The Koldwave 6HK144 Air-Cooled Portable Air Conditioner is built for moments when heat control protects operations, equipment, and people. With a full 144,000 BTU (12-ton) output, this commercial portable air conditioner steps in fast when permanent HVAC systems can’t keep up—or can’t run at all.

In places like hospitals, data centers, and industrial facilities, heat isn’t a minor inconvenience. It’s a liability. Imaging equipment, server racks, medications, and active work areas all live within tight temperature limits. When a central system fails, gets overwhelmed, or goes offline for upgrades, waiting isn’t an option. This unit rolls into place, connects to power and ducting, and starts stabilizing conditions almost immediately.

Healthcare environments rely on this level of capacity during HVAC outages, construction phases, and surge events. Patient care areas, pharmacies, labs, and IT rooms stay within required ranges while permanent systems are repaired or rebalanced. It also plays a key role when spaces are temporarily reconfigured for isolation or pressure control, keeping conditions steady even when airflow paths change.

Data centers face a different kind of urgency. Server heat builds fast, and temperature spikes don’t give warnings. The 6HK144 provides focused, high-volume cooling for hot aisles or dense rack clusters during CRAC failures or maintenance windows. Many operators keep units like this staged on-site as part of a broader redundancy plan—right alongside generators and backup power distribution.

Warehouses bring scale into the equation. Cooling the entire building rarely makes sense. Cooling the right zones does. This unit delivers concentrated airflow to loading docks, packaging lines, mezzanines, or temperature-sensitive inventory areas. Worker comfort improves, heat-related slowdowns ease up, and sensitive products stay within spec—even during peak summer conditions.

Despite its output, the system stays flexible. Heavy-duty casters, ductable supply and return air, and air-cooled heat rejection make it easy to reposition as layouts change or priorities shift. Many facilities treat it as part of a wider temporary HVAC backup plan, keeping high-capacity portable units on hand so cooling can be deployed exactly where and when it’s needed.

If you’re comparing equipment in the industrial portable air conditioner category, capacity and speed usually decide things quickly. This model delivers both—without forcing permanent changes you may not want down the road.

SPECIFICATIONS

FEATURES

• 144,400 BTU / 12-Ton Cooling for Large, High-Load Spaces
  Delivers serious cooling capacity for areas roughly 3,700 to 4,900 sq. ft., making it suitable for healthcare wings, data centers, warehouses, and other environments where smaller portable units simply fall short.

• Air-Cooled Design for Fast, Low-Complexity Deployment
  Rejects heat through ducted condenser air instead of chilled water, allowing installation without piping, tie-ins, or mechanical room access—ideal when time, space, or infrastructure is limited.

• Ductable Supply and Return for Targeted Cooling Control
  Dual 14" evaporator duct connections and an 18" condenser outlet let you direct cooling exactly where it’s needed, whether that’s a hot aisle, imaging suite, or production zone.

• Built for Mobility Despite Its Size
  Heavy-duty four-wheel casters, along with integrated forklift slots and lifting lugs, make repositioning realistic for a unit of this capacity—supporting changing layouts or shifting cooling priorities.

• Durable All-Steel Cabinet with Internal Insulation
  The painted steel construction and fiberglass insulation help reduce sound and heat gain while standing up to demanding commercial and industrial environments.

• Wide Operating Temperature Range for Real-World Conditions
  Designed to operate between 64°F and 113°F, allowing reliable performance during heat waves, mechanical outages, or non-conditioned spaces.

• Flexible Power Options for Commercial Facilities
  Available in 230V or 460V three-phase, making it easier to match existing electrical infrastructure in hospitals, data centers, and industrial buildings.

• Low-Maintenance Operation with Cleanable Filters
  Vinyl chloride air filters are easy to access and clean, helping maintain airflow and performance while reducing service interruptions during extended use
