PAC 4" to 3" exhaust

Posted by dantheman on August 17, 2009, 6:23 pm

hi all.. will i have a problem running the 4" exhaust from the
Portable Air Conditioner (dripless) through a 3" inch hole in the
outside wall, about 12" length, using a 4" to 3" adapter?

There are no windows in this cold cellar and the intake pipe on the
other side is a 3" ABS through the outside wall with an identical 3"
ABS the opposite outside wall (that i plan on using for exhaust of
said PAC).

Thanks, Dan

Yes, it will reduce the air flow.

Hey--good to hear from you again.. been a while :)

I know the airflow will be reduced; my question should have read
"would the amount of airflow restriction make a significant
difference?" Or.. will it still work just not 100% effecient? More
like 95%? It's such a tiny space and i only really need it to be
cooler and drier during the summer which, up here in Toronto, is quite
short. But brutally Hot and Humid (and beer affecting) for those two
weeks.

Okay i don't feel like taking it all apart and drilling those two
holes an inch bigger etc. Ya Ya i'm getting lazy.

So.. big difference or negligible?

Thanks, Dan
