OVERVIEW

HVAC Down or Overloaded? This 5 Ton Air-Cooled 60,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner and Heater Stabilizes Critical Spaces on Demand

When a building’s main HVAC can’t keep up—or can’t run at all—things get uncomfortable fast. That’s where a portable air conditioner and heater like the ClimaTemp CT-MAC5 steps in. It’s designed for moments when temperature control isn’t optional, whether that’s during an outage, a heat wave, or a temporary setup that was never meant to house people or equipment long-term.

At roughly 5 tons of capacity (about 60,000 BTU), this unit sits in a sweet spot. It’s powerful enough to change conditions in larger interior spaces, not just a corner or a single workstation, yet still mobile enough to roll where it’s needed. You’re not juggling multiple small units or spreading power across half the building. One footprint. One control point. Less hassle.

Healthcare facilities tend to get this immediately. Patient areas, imaging rooms, and equipment spaces generate serious heat, and conditions have to stay within tight ranges. When a chiller or air handler goes down, there’s no time to wait. A roll-in solution like this helps maintain environmental continuity without disrupting care—or compliance. Honestly, that peace of mind matters.

Data centers lean on units like this for a different reason. Server rooms don’t forgive temperature swings. During maintenance, unexpected failures, or high-load events, a 5-ton portable acts as a pressure release valve, keeping inlet temps where they should be. The heating mode also comes into play during cooler months, preventing overcooling in lightly loaded rooms or adjacent support spaces. It’s why many teams treat a commercial portable air conditioner as part of their resilience plan, not a last-ditch fix.

Warehouses and industrial spaces see the flexibility too. Spot-cooling dock areas, stabilizing work cells, or warming up enclosed zones in winter—this unit handles seasonal swings without conditioning the entire building volume. That’s practical control, not overkill.

Because it’s air-cooled, there’s no need to tie into building water systems. Heat is rejected through ducting, which keeps deployment simple, especially in retrofits or leased spaces. With casters and flexible connections, this unit can adapt as layouts change—no contractor calls required.

Built by ClimaTemp, this unit is all about reliability and performance. Not flashy—just dependable, high-capacity climate control that keeps critical spaces safe and comfortable, even when the main system can’t handle the load.

SPECIFICATIONS

FEATURES

• True 5-Ton Cooling Capacity (60,000 BTU/hr)
  Delivers meaningful temperature control for larger rooms and high-load spaces—not just spot relief. Ideal for patient areas, server rooms, equipment spaces, and industrial zones where smaller portables fall short.

• Integrated Heating for Year-Round Control (10 kW / 34,120 BTU/hr)
  Built-in electric heat lets the same unit handle cold conditions, shoulder seasons, and overcooled spaces. No need to deploy separate heaters or manage multiple pieces of equipment.

• Air-Cooled, Self-Contained Design
  Rejects heat through a single 16" condenser exhaust duct, eliminating the need for condenser water or chilled-water tie-ins. This keeps setup fast and practical in retrofits, leased spaces, and emergency deployments.

• High Airflow with Directed Cooling and Heating
  Dual 14" evaporator supply and return ducts and up to 2,000 CFM of airflow allow conditioned air to be delivered exactly where it’s needed—perfect for hot aisles, equipment clusters, or occupied zones.

• Built-In Condensate Management with Redundancy
  Includes a plug-and-play condensate pump with overflow protection and a 17-foot lift, plus a secondary gravity drain with a built-in P-trap. That means fewer interruptions and safer operation in critical environments.

• Designed for Mobility and Fast Deployment
  Heavy-duty swivel casters with locks, forklift pockets, and a compact footprint sized to fit through standard doorways make it easy to move, position, and redeploy as needs change.

• Industrial-Grade Electrical and Safety Systems
  Features 208V/230V single-phase power, 4/0 Cam-Lok daisy-chain connections, independent breakers, overload protection, anti-freeze sensors, hot gas bypass, and automatic restart for dependable operation under stress.

• Indoor and Outdoor Rated with Long-Term Reliability
  Weather-protected LED controller, rotary compressor using R-32 refrigerant, and a 3-year compressor / 1-year parts warranty support both temporary outdoor setups and long-term indoor use with confidence.
