We have a precision machine shop that is not air conditioned. So, we bought one for each of the employees and exhaust directly back into the shop because we are only keeping the individuals cool. There has only been the one hot week since we bought these units, but they do work well. In the past we had rented larger units (in size but not capacity) that were much more awkward–but did not outperform these much smaller units. We can put them right next to the individuals so they are quite effective. In measuring their efficacy, I measured that they were putting out 58° and exhausting 110° (F). So far, for this short period, they have been effective and performed as described on Amazon. Also, as Prime member, they were delivered in the two days promised. I also have to add that one of the units was defective once we began to run it–it was making a scraping noise. (The fan wheel was broken and running out of round.) I filed out the Amazon form, and once notified had a replacement unit on site in two days. This was unexpected and outstanding performance. They also sent a truck to pick up the damaged unit which we had repackaged.

Tripp Lite product works well. Better suited to a server room allowing focused cooling towards the server rack. It is cooling better than the 14,000 BTU unit that it replaced. I’m guessing that the old unit was diffusing the output over a larger area rather than focusing on the server rack.
Side note on delivery – FedEx left unit in front of my building 20 feet off the street. No signature, No damage and fortunately, not stolen from my property. That seems risky given the price of the unit.

Just Tested SRCOOL12K . Lowest setting 63F/17C this beast expelled lots of hot air via exhaust. Only thing that seems to be out of place is the Adjustable Exhaust Panel which I don’t blame Tripp Lite. If this unit last more than 2 summers then it’s better than those no name brands at your hardware store selling for half the price . Note the Duct Adapter that vents hot air that fit on unit leak hot air into the room, maybe thin strip of weather stripping could help seal the leak.

My office is upstairs facing West with approximately 1500 watts of equipment heat that needs cooling. On triple digit days, like we’ve been having here for the past couple weeks, my office will never get below 85-90 with the central AC alone. So I must have supplemental cooling. I’ve been using an LG 12000 BTU (LP1200dxr) unit since 2010, and it’s a wonderful unit, and can cool my office down to a crisp 60 deg, even during triple digit weather. But we needed it for another upstairs room, where the kids sleep, since the LG is very quiet it made sense to move it to that room. So I went shopping for a new unit for my office. 🙂
I almost purchased another consumer unit, but I ended up with the Tripp Lite SRCOOL12K for a couple reasons.
1. The cool air duct for spot cooling 2. I plan to use it in either a dedicated equipment room or garage in next house, and this unit seemed more suited for those environments.
Initial Thoughts…
The Good
– Unit looks good and blends in well with modern office equipment – I like the orientation of unit and placement of the cool air vent and exhaust hose. – Dual air filters are great. My old LG unit only had a single air filter, and the inner radiator would always need a lot of cleaning at the end of the season. I have a feeling this Tripp Lite unit will be lower maintenance. – VERY powerful cooling. My LG unit was also 12000 BTU, but this Tripp Lite feels much more powerful. It seemed to cool down my office in half the time, and the spot cooling has enough air flow that it could double as a weed blower.
The Bad
– Lack of remote control is a bummer. Especially given the way the fan works see below) – The unit is VERY loud! After an hour I have a headache from the noise this thing makes from about 6 ft away. This is not something you will want to use in a space where people are working, and definitely not where people are sleeping. Of course, it isn’t marketed for that either. – The Fan never turns off. Given the performance of the unit, I could probably live with the noise, while its cooling, but the fan never stops, ever… Even in quiet mode, the unit is unbearably loud. If the fan would cycle off, or at least have a slow, whisper mode then it would be acceptable. But even on the lowest fan setting you will go deaf having this thing in the same room with you. This is where a remote would have at least been handy to turn the unit off to help control noise.
Don’t get me wrong, I think this is a great unit. It does exactly what it was meant to do, and is everything that it’s advertised to be. I can see putting this unit in a server room, or garage, or similar location that would ruin a less capable (albeit quieter) consumer unit. And I will probably keep it for that, as that’s the long term plan anyway. This is a powerful portable air conditioner that cools great. I just wouldn’t recommend it for home use, or for spaces close to people working in a quiet environment.

Be aware this unit ships only with a US plug and you will require a converter if you want to use it in the UK. This information is not supplied by the seller.

For those considering this cooler, here is my experience.
I purchased the unit and placed it into service in June of 2013. It was in a small electrical closet with no other cooling. The electrical panel in the closet kept the room at a steady 90+ degrees. As I was adding some networking equipment, I thought it best to drop the temp by at least 15-20 degrees.
I installed this unit and left it running fulltime on auto so it cycled as needed, dumping the exhaust air above the suspended ceiling. After a 14 months the unit failed. I contacted Tripplite for support and was told the unit was outside of warranty however they would honor it and send me a direct replacement.
On the phone the tech advised me that this unit should only be used for auxiliary cooling, however nothing in the sales information indicates that, simply that it is for ‘spot cooling’.
Going forward I will be adding a cold air dump into that closet, however the unit and the company both did an admirable job and as a result I will be looking to Tripplite’s products first in the future.
