AmeriCool 1.5 Ton 16,800 BTU Portable Air Conditioner | 115V -R32

High-Capacity 1.5 Ton Portable Air Conditioner with 16,800 BTU/h Cooling Capacity for Commercial and Industrial Applications – AmeriCool WPC-4000PR

The AmeriCool WPC-4000PR is a 16,800 BTU/h portable air conditioner designed to provide targeted cooling and supplemental temperature control for commercial, industrial, and temporary cooling applications. Combining approximately 1.4 tons of cooling capacity with spot-cooling and room-cooling modes, adjustable airflow, and flexible exhaust ducting, this self-contained cooling system provides portable temperature control without requiring a permanent HVAC installation. Its wheeled design allows it to be relocated between work areas as cooling requirements change.

Key Benefits

• 16,800 BTU/h Cooling Performance – Provides supplemental cooling for equipment areas, workstations, and commercial environments requiring additional temperature control.
• Spot and Room Cooling Modes – Offers dedicated operating modes for directing cooling toward specific areas or cooling a smaller enclosed space.
• Portable Construction with Casters – Allows the unit to be moved between locations and positioned where cooling is needed.
• Two-Speed Airflow – Provides high- and low-speed evaporator airflow of 470 and 400 CFM to accommodate different cooling requirements.
• Flexible Ducting – Supports a 12-inch hot-air exhaust connection and compatible cool-air duct accessories for adaptable installation.
• Integrated Condensate Tank – Collects moisture generated during cooling operation, with a full-tank switch that stops operation when the tank needs to be emptied.
• 115V Electrical Connection – Uses a single-phase, 60Hz power supply and a NEMA 5-20P plug for connection to a properly rated receptacle.
• Automatic Restart and Self-Diagnostics – Restarts automatically after a power interruption and displays diagnostic fault information to assist with troubleshooting.

High-Capacity Cooling Performance

The AmeriCool WPC-4000PR delivers a rated cooling capacity of 16,800 BTU/h, equivalent to 1.4 tons of refrigeration. Its nominal power consumption is 1,700 watts, with a rated current of 15.5 amps and an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of 9.8 BTU/Wh, according to the manufacturer's owner’s manual. Designed for ambient operating temperatures between 64°F and 113°F, the unit provides supplemental cooling for commercial workspaces, equipment rooms, production areas, and other applications where localized temperature control is required. The refrigeration system uses R-410A refrigerant, with a specified charge of 20.1 oz.

Spot Cooling and Targeted Temperature Control

The AmeriCool WPC-4000PR supports both spot-cooling and room-cooling operation. Spot-cooling mode regulates operation according to the temperature of the discharged cool air, allowing cooling to be directed toward employees, equipment, or specific work areas. Room-cooling mode regulates operation according to the ambient air temperature entering the unit. The specified temperature setting ranges are 32°F to 86°F for spot-cooling mode and 64°F to 86°F for room-cooling mode. These operating modes provide flexibility for applications where cooling an entire large space is impractical or where supplemental cooling is needed in a smaller enclosed area.

Airflow and Distribution

The AmeriCool WPC-4000PR provides evaporator airflow of 470 CFM on high speed and 400 CFM on low speed. Condenser airflow is rated at 1,250 CFM on high speed and 1,120 CFM on low speed. Its two-speed fan allows users to adjust airflow according to the application. The unit has a 12-inch hot-air exhaust duct connection, with a maximum exhaust duct length of 50 feet specified in the manufacturer's owner’s manual. Compatible cool-air duct accessories can be used to adapt air delivery to the installation. Proper exhaust routing is essential when the unit is used in an enclosed space, as warm condenser air must be directed outside the conditioned area.

Portable Design and Flexible Installation

The self-contained AmeriCool WPC-4000PR can be positioned wherever supplemental cooling is required without the need for a permanent central HVAC installation. The unit measures approximately 20.6 inches wide, 26.4 inches deep, and 41 inches high, with a net weight of 190 pounds and a gross shipping weight of 205 pounds. Four caster wheels, measuring approximately 3 inches in diameter, facilitate movement and positioning. Side handles assist with relocation, and the casters can be locked once the unit is positioned on a flat, level surface. The unit requires a 12-inch hot-air exhaust connection for condenser discharge and should be installed with adequate clearance around the air intake and outlet areas.

Condensate Management

The AmeriCool WPC-4000PR incorporates a condensate collection tank with a capacity of approximately 3.17 gallons (12 liters). The tank collects moisture produced during cooling operation. An integrated water-level detection switch stops the unit when the tank is full, and an alarm indicates that the tank must be emptied before operation can resume. For installations requiring automatic condensate removal, AmeriCool offers an optional drain pump kit. Verify the compatible pump configuration and installation requirements before ordering or installing an accessory.

Controls, Comfort and Electrical Connection

The AmeriCool WPC-4000PR features an electronic control panel with dedicated spot-cooling and room-cooling modes, adjustable temperature settings, two fan speeds, a Fahrenheit/Celsius temperature display, and an off-timer. The display shows operating temperatures and diagnostic fault codes when abnormal operation occurs. Automatic restart restores operation after power returns following an electrical interruption, while compressor protection features help protect the refrigeration system during abnormal operating conditions. The unit requires a 115V, 60Hz, single-phase electrical supply, draws 15.5 amps, and uses a NEMA 5-20P plug. The manufacturer's owner’s manual specifies a 20-amp circuit breaker, a 12 AWG power cord, and a 6-foot power cord length. Use a properly grounded receptacle and verify that the electrical circuit meets the manufacturer's requirements and applicable electrical codes.

Commercial and Industrial Applications

The AmeriCool WPC-4000PR is designed for portable cooling applications in computer rooms, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, industrial kitchens, process-cooling environments, multi-workstation areas, special events, and temporary workspaces. Its spot-cooling mode is useful when specific equipment or work areas require additional cooling without conditioning an entire large space. Room-cooling mode provides an alternative for smaller enclosed areas. For enclosed installations, the hot condenser air must be exhausted outside the conditioned space to avoid heat buildup and maintain effective cooling performance.

Mobility and Deployment

The AmeriCool WPC-4000PR features four caster wheels and side handles to support repositioning as cooling requirements change. Once the unit has been moved to a suitable location, the casters should be locked to help keep it securely positioned. Its portable construction supports temporary deployment, equipment cooling, and supplemental climate control across multiple work areas. Because the unit weighs approximately 190 pounds, use appropriate handling procedures when moving it and maintain a level installation surface. The power supply, air intake, and exhaust duct route should be checked before operation at each new location.

Service and Maintenance

The AmeriCool WPC-4000PR includes washable evaporator and condenser filters, an electronic temperature display, and self-diagnostic fault indications to support routine maintenance and troubleshooting. The evaporator filter is located at the front of the unit, while the condenser filter is located on the side. The manufacturer recommends cleaning the filters at least every two weeks to help maintain airflow and cooling efficiency. Before cleaning, moving, or servicing the unit, turn it off and disconnect the power supply. Allow washable filters to dry completely before reinstalling them, and never operate the unit without its filters installed. Regularly inspect the condensate tank, exhaust duct connections, power cord, and air passages to help maintain reliable operation.

Warranty

AmeriCool's published product catalog specifies a one-year parts-and-labor warranty for the complete unit and three years of parts-and-labor coverage for the compressor. Coverage is subject to the manufacturer's applicable warranty terms, conditions, and exclusions. Consult the warranty documentation supplied with the specific WPC-4000PR unit for applicable coverage requirements and service procedures.
