OVERVIEW
Struggling with Overheated Spaces? This 18000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Delivers Targeted Cooling to Keep Your Rooms, Equipment, and Staff Comfortable
When cooling has to happen right now, this 18000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner shows up ready to work. The Clima Temp CTW-18 Water Cooled unit is built for commercial & industrial environments where heat isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s a problem that can’t wait. Think healthcare facilities, server rooms, labs, and warehouse hot spots that push central HVAC past its limits.
Here’s the thing: not every space needs full-building cooling. Sometimes you just need relief in one room, one rack, or one workstation. This commercial portable air conditioner is sized for exactly that. With 1.5 tons of cooling capacity, it handles spaces in the 300–500 square foot range, depending on heat load, without permanent installation or downtime.
Because it’s water-cooled, the CTW-18 recirculates room air instead of exhausting it. That matters in sterile or controlled environments like patient rooms, imaging suites, and recovery areas. You maintain temperature without disrupting airflow balance, that’s a big win in healthcare settings.
Hospitals rely on this unit for MRI rooms, X-ray suites, and temporary isolation areas, especially during HVAC maintenance or summer heat spikes. Pair it with HEPA filtration solutions like our hepa air scrubbers and it becomes part of a broader infection-control strategy, not just a cooling fix.
Data centers and IT teams lean on the CTW-18 for targeted spot cooling. Server closets, network rooms, and edge deployments don’t need massive CRAC systems—they need fast, reliable backup. At 18,000 BTU/hour, this unit pulls heat away from problem racks before alarms start going off. No drama. No rushed shutdowns.
Warehouses use it a little differently. Forklift charging zones, packing lines, control panels, or mezzanines often run hotter than the rest of the building. Rolling this unit into place provides immediate relief for workers and protects sensitive equipment, all while running on standard single-phase power. Casters make relocation easy when layouts shift or seasonal demand kicks in.
There’s also the practical stuff people forget to mention until it matters. Built-in condensate pumps simplify placement near sinks or drains. Maintenance stays minimal. Dehumidification improves comfort and air quality, which patients, staff, and electronics all appreciate.
If you’re comparing options, this unit fits neatly within our broader commercial portable air conditioner lineup. It’s not oversized. It’s not underpowered. It’s just right for fast, focused cooling where precision matters more than square footage.
Quick setup. Predictable performance. And when things heat up unexpectedly—you’re covered.
