AmeriCool 1.5 Ton 16,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Weltem Water-Cooled | 115V

Efficient 1.5 Ton Water-Cooled Portable Air Conditioner with 16,000 BTU/h Cooling Capacity for Commercial and Industrial Applications – AmeriCool WPW-4000

The AmeriCool WPW-4000 is a 16,000 BTU/h water-cooled portable air conditioner designed to provide targeted cooling for commercial, industrial, and equipment-cooling applications. Combining approximately 1.33 tons of cooling capacity with a water-cooled heat rejection system, this self-contained cooling unit delivers supplemental temperature control without requiring a conventional outdoor condenser. Its portable construction allows flexible positioning in work areas where localized cooling is needed, including server rooms, manufacturing facilities, and other environments where cooling an entire space may not be practical.

Key Benefits

• 16,000 BTU/h Cooling Performance – Provides supplemental cooling for equipment, workstations, and commercial environments requiring localized temperature control.

• Portable Construction – Allows the unit to be relocated as cooling requirements change between work areas.
• Targeted Spot Cooling – Directs conditioned air toward employees, equipment, or designated work areas where cooling is needed.
• Flexible Installation – Supports deployment in locations where conventional split-system or central HVAC installation may be impractical.
• Condensate Collection – Uses an integrated collection tank to manage moisture removed from the air during cooling operation.
• Standard 115V Electrical Connection – Operates on a single-phase, 60Hz power supply with a NEMA 5-15P plug.
• Automatic Restart and Protective Controls – Includes protective operating functions designed to help safeguard the refrigeration system and support reliable operation.

Water-Cooled Cooling Performance

The AmeriCool WPW-4000 delivers a rated cooling capacity of 16,000 BTU/h, equivalent to approximately 1.33 tons of refrigeration. Its nominal power consumption is 1,100 watts, with a rated current of 11.9 amps and an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of 14 BTU/Wh. The unit operates on a 115V, 60Hz, single-phase electrical supply and is specified for ambient temperatures ranging from 64°F to 122°F. Its water-cooled condenser transfers heat to a circulating water supply rather than relying on a conventional outdoor condenser. This configuration is useful for supplemental cooling in facilities where outdoor condenser placement is limited or where a self-contained water-cooled system is preferred.

Spot Cooling and Targeted Temperature Control

The AmeriCool WPW-4000 is designed to provide targeted cooling for equipment, employees, and designated work areas. Its portable configuration allows the unit to be positioned near the cooling load, helping deliver conditioned air where it is needed without requiring a permanent HVAC installation. The water-cooled design also avoids the need to discharge condenser heat through a conventional outdoor air-cooled condenser. Correct placement, adequate airflow clearance, and a properly configured condenser-water supply are essential for effective operation.

Airflow and Distribution

The AmeriCool WPW-4000 is designed to deliver conditioned air from its evaporator section to the intended cooling area. Its air distribution arrangement supports localized cooling in commercial and industrial applications. The exact airflow rate, fan-speed specifications, and compatible air-distribution accessories should be confirmed against the applicable manufacturer documentation for the specific WPW-4000 configuration before being used for installation planning.

Portable Design and Flexible Installation

The self-contained AmeriCool WPW-4000 is designed for portable deployment in locations requiring supplemental cooling. Its approximate dimensions are 20.6 inches wide, 26.4 inches deep, and 41 inches high, with a net weight of 185 pounds and a gross weight of 201 pounds. The portable construction allows the unit to be repositioned when cooling requirements change. Unlike a conventional air-cooled portable air conditioner, the WPW-4000 uses a water-cooled condenser and therefore requires a suitable condenser-water connection. Before installation, confirm the required water supply, drainage arrangement, hose connections, and operating clearances using the manufacturer's installation instructions.

Condensate Management

The AmeriCool WPW-4000 includes a condensate collection tank to collect moisture removed from the air during cooling operation. Condensate production depends on the operating temperature, relative humidity, and cooling load. The tank should be monitored and emptied in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not confuse the air-conditioning condensate drainage arrangement with the condenser-water supply and discharge connections; these are separate system functions and must be configured correctly for safe, reliable operation.

Controls, Comfort and Electrical Connection

The AmeriCool WPW-4000 is designed for portable spot-cooling operation and incorporates protective functions for the refrigeration system. The manufacturer’s WPW-4000 owner’s manual specifies a 115V, 60Hz, single-phase power supply, a rated current of 11.9 amps, and nominal power consumption of 1,100 watts. The unit uses a NEMA 5-15P plug with a 14 AWG power cord measuring 10 feet in length. Its specified EER is 14 BTU/Wh. Use a properly grounded receptacle and verify that the electrical circuit meets the manufacturer's requirements and applicable electrical codes. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for condenser-water connections, operation, and maintenance.

Commercial and Industrial Applications

The AmeriCool WPW-4000 is suitable for commercial and industrial environments requiring portable, localized cooling, including computer rooms, server rooms, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, workshops, hospitals, and temporary work areas. Its water-cooled condenser design is particularly useful in locations where installing a conventional outdoor condenser is difficult or impractical. The unit can provide supplemental cooling for equipment and work areas without requiring the installation of a complete building-wide HVAC system. Suitability for a specific application depends on the cooling load, ambient conditions, water availability, and installation requirements.

Mobility and Deployment

The AmeriCool WPW-4000 is designed to be moved and deployed where cooling is required. Its self-contained construction supports temporary cooling applications and changing workplace layouts. With a net weight of approximately 185 pounds, the unit should be moved using appropriate handling procedures and equipment. Before relocation, switch off the unit, disconnect electrical power, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for safely disconnecting the condenser-water supply and drainage connections. Position the unit on a suitable level surface and reconnect all required services before restarting.

Service and Maintenance

Routine maintenance of the AmeriCool WPW-4000 includes inspecting and cleaning the air filters, checking air intake and discharge passages, inspecting condenser-water connections, and monitoring the condensate collection tank. The manufacturer's operating instructions should be followed for water supply requirements, cleaning procedures, and preventive maintenance. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch it off and disconnect the power supply. Regular inspection of water connections and air passages helps maintain cooling performance and reduces the risk of operating interruptions.

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. Warranty coverage is subject to the manufacturer's applicable terms, conditions, and exclusions. Refer to the warranty documentation supplied with the specific WPW-4000 unit to confirm coverage requirements, exclusions, and service procedures.

Recommended Accessories

• Condenser-Water Supply and Drain Connections – Required installation components for supplying and discharging condenser water; verify the connection sizes, water-flow requirements, and approved fittings in the manufacturer's owner’s manual.
• Water Supply Hoses and Fittings – Compatible hoses and fittings for establishing the required condenser-water connections; confirm the manufacturer's specified configuration before ordering.
