The OceanAire OWC2412QC 2-Ton Water-Cooled Portable Air Conditioner delivers 23,950 BTU/hr of cooling for commercial, industrial, and temporary HVAC applications. Featuring factory quick-connect water fittings, this deluxe water-cooled spot cooler provides high-capacity cooling without requiring conventional hot-air exhaust ducting.
Operating on 208–230V / 60Hz single-phase power, the OWC2412QC features a 2 HP rotary compressor, 810 CFM of conditioned airflow, electronic temperature controls, and a built-in automatic condensate pump with up to 20 feet of vertical lift.
Its compact cabinet measures just 21.5 inches wide and 16 inches deep, making it useful for server rooms, offices, equipment rooms, manufacturing facilities, and other indoor commercial spaces where floor space is limited.
The water-cooled condenser transfers heat to a connected water supply rather than discharging hot condenser air into the surrounding area. Quick-connect water fittings help streamline installation when compatible water supply, discharge, and drain connections are available.
Whether you need emergency cooling for an IT room, supplemental cooling for commercial equipment, or temporary air conditioning during HVAC maintenance, the OceanAire OWC2412QC provides portable cooling with flexible water connections.

Why Choose a Water-Cooled Portable Air Conditioner?
Traditional air-cooled portable spot coolers remove heat from the conditioned space and reject it through a separate stream of hot condenser air.
This often requires a ceiling kit, window adapter, or exhaust duct to direct heat away from the cooling area.
The OceanAire OWC2412QC operates differently.
Its condenser transfers heat into a water stream, allowing the unit to provide cooling without a conventional hot-air exhaust duct.
This makes it especially useful in enclosed commercial environments where suitable water connections are available but routing condenser exhaust air would be inconvenient.
Benefits of Water-Cooled Spot Cooling
- No conventional hot-air exhaust duct required
- Compact cabinet footprint
- Factory quick-connect water fittings
- Suitable for enclosed commercial equipment spaces
- Automatic condensate removal
- Portable installation with compatible water connections
- Directional cooling accessories available
Important: Water-cooled operation requires a suitable water supply, adequate flow, and an acceptable condenser water outlet or discharge arrangement.
The unit does not independently provide a closed-loop cooling-water system. Recirculating water installations require appropriately designed external equipment.
Common Applications for the OceanAire OWC2412QC
Server Rooms and Data Centers
Server rooms, telecommunications facilities, and IT equipment spaces generate continuous heat from computers, networking equipment, and related electronics.
The OceanAire OWC2412QC can provide temporary or supplemental cooling for properly sized equipment rooms.
Its water-cooled condenser is particularly useful where an air-cooled spot cooler’s hot-air exhaust would be difficult to route.
Applications include:
- Emergency cooling during HVAC failures
- Supplemental cooling for networking equipment
- Telecommunications and IT rooms
- Temporary cooling during server maintenance
- Cooling during equipment upgrades
An appropriate condenser water supply, discharge connection, drainage arrangement, and compatible electrical service must be available.

Commercial Offices and Retail Facilities
Offices, retail stores, and commercial buildings may require additional cooling during peak temperatures or HVAC maintenance.
The OWC2412QC provides portable cooling without the need for a conventional hot-air exhaust duct.
Its compact 16-inch-deep design makes it useful in equipment rooms, utility areas, and other appropriate indoor locations where space is limited.
Manufacturing and Industrial Workspaces
Manufacturing equipment and industrial processes often generate concentrated heat around workstations, electronics, and machinery.
The OceanAire OWC2412QC supplies localized cooling for suitable production areas, maintenance rooms, and industrial equipment spaces.
Optional directional air nozzles can help deliver cooled air toward specific equipment or workstations.
Medical, Laboratory, and Institutional Facilities
Medical offices, laboratories, and institutional buildings may need temporary or supplemental cooling for appropriate noncritical areas during maintenance or equipment replacement.
The OWC2412QC offers a portable cooling option where suitable water connections and electrical service are available.
Application suitability should be evaluated carefully for spaces with specialized temperature, sanitation, or operational requirements.
Temporary and Emergency Commercial Cooling
The OWC2412QC can support temporary cooling during:
- Commercial HVAC repairs and replacement
- Equipment maintenance
- Office renovations
- Temporary IT installations
- Seasonal cooling demand

Specifications reflect OceanAire’s published OWC2412QC technical sheet and may change. Condenser water requirements vary with entering water temperature and operating conditions. Confirm electrical requirements, water supply compatibility, and drainage before installation.
Quick-Connect Water Connections
The OceanAire OWC2412QC includes factory quick-connect fittings for its condenser water supply, condenser water outlet, and condensate drain.
Condenser Water Inlet — 3/8″ Quick Connect
The inlet supplies water to the refrigeration system’s water-cooled condenser.
A suitable water source must provide adequate flow, pressure, and water quality according to the manufacturer’s requirements.
Condenser Water Outlet — 3/8″ Quick Connect
The outlet carries water away after it has absorbed heat from the condenser.
It must connect to an approved condenser water discharge or return arrangement.
Condensate Drain — 1/4″ Quick Connect
The condensate drain removes moisture collected by the evaporator.
The OWC2412QC includes an internal automatic condensate pump capable of up to 20 feet of vertical lift.
An appropriate condensate drain hose and disposal location are required.
Condenser Water Flow Requirements
The OceanAire OWC2412QC uses condenser water to reject the heat removed from the conditioned space.
Published estimated water requirements include:
| Entering Water Temperature | Estimated Condenser Water Flow |
|---|---|
| 60°F | 1.55 GPM |
| 85°F | 6.0 GPM |
These figures are based on the manufacturer’s published test conditions.
Actual condenser water flow varies depending on water temperature, water conditions, and the operating load.
The unit’s water-regulating valve adjusts condenser water flow during operation.
Before ordering, confirm that the installation can accommodate the required water supply and return or discharge connections.
Electrical Requirements
The OceanAire OWC2412QC operates on 208–230V / 60Hz single-phase electrical power.
It uses a NEMA 6-20P plug with LCDI protection.
Published electrical specifications include:
- Rated Current: 9.9 Amps
- Inrush Current: 55 Amps
- Power Consumption: 2,100 Watts
- Plug Type: NEMA 6-20P
This unit cannot be connected to a standard 115V household outlet.
OceanAire recommends a dedicated circuit with properly selected time-delay fuses or circuit breakers.
Electrical installation must follow the manufacturer’s requirements and the current equipment nameplate.
Built-In Condensate Pump
The OWC2412QC includes an automatic internal condensate pump.
Unlike portable air conditioners with manually emptied collection tanks, the OWC2412QC discharges collected moisture through its dedicated 1/4-inch quick-connect drain connection.
The manufacturer specifies up to 20 feet of vertical condensate lift.
The unit includes a condensate overflow alert.
A compatible drain hose and suitable drainage location are required.
