Common Applications for the Oceanaire OWC2412
Server Rooms and IT Equipment Cooling
Server rooms, networking closets, and telecommunications facilities generate heat from continuously operating electronic equipment.
In many of these environments, installing a large hot-air exhaust duct is difficult or impractical.
The Oceanaire OWC2412 uses water-cooled heat rejection, allowing the unit to provide cooling without discharging condenser heat directly into the conditioned room.
Its nearly 24,000 BTU/hr cooling capacity makes it an option for temporary or supplemental cooling in smaller server rooms and IT equipment areas.
Common applications include:
- Emergency cooling during HVAC failures
- Supplemental cooling for server racks
- Temporary cooling during equipment maintenance
- Telecommunications and networking closets
- Cooling during IT infrastructure upgrades
The available water supply, cooling load, electrical service, and airflow arrangement should be evaluated before installation.
Learn more in our Best Portable Spot Coolers for Server Rooms in 2026 guide.
Warehouses and Manufacturing Facilities
Manufacturing facilities and industrial work areas often contain machinery and production processes that generate concentrated heat.
The OWC2412 can provide targeted cooling for equipment rooms, workstations, assembly areas, and other commercial environments.
Its water-cooled design is particularly useful where a suitable condenser water source is available but traditional hot-air exhaust ducting is not.
The compact cabinet and locking casters allow the unit to be repositioned when operational requirements change.
Healthcare Facilities and Laboratories
Healthcare support areas, laboratories, institutional buildings, and enclosed workspaces may require temporary cooling during HVAC maintenance or equipment repairs.
The Oceanaire OWC2412 provides a portable cooling option for suitable environments where conventional exhaust arrangements are impractical.
Healthcare and laboratory installations should be evaluated for applicable facility requirements and environmental controls.
Temporary and Emergency Commercial Cooling
An unexpected air conditioning failure can interrupt operations and expose temperature-sensitive equipment to elevated temperatures.
The OWC2412 provides supplemental cooling during HVAC maintenance, renovations, equipment replacement, and temporary commercial projects.
Its 2-ton capacity makes it a practical option for cooling loads that exceed smaller 1-ton systems but do not require larger 3-ton or 5-ton equipment.

How Does the Oceanaire OWC2412 Water-Cooled System Work?
Unlike conventional air-cooled portable air conditioners, the Oceanaire OWC2412 uses a water-cooled condenser to remove heat from the refrigeration system.
Warm air from the room passes across the evaporator coil, where heat is absorbed and cooled air is returned to the space.
The heat collected by the refrigeration system is then transferred to water flowing through the condenser.
The warmed water leaves the unit through its water outlet connection.
This arrangement eliminates the need for conventional hot-air exhaust ducting.
However, the OWC2412 requires a suitable condenser water supply and return or approved discharge arrangement. It cannot operate without an appropriate source of cooling water.
Water Flow Requirements
The unit’s required condenser water flow depends on the entering water temperature.
Published requirements include:
- 1.55 GPM with 60°F entering water
- 6.0 GPM with 85°F entering water
Water flow, pressure, temperature, and the discharge arrangement must be suitable for the installation.
The facility should confirm water-system compatibility before purchasing the equipment.
Water Connection Sizes
The standard Oceanaire OWC2412 uses threaded flare connections:
- Water Inlet: 3/8-inch male flare
- Water Outlet: 3/8-inch male flare
- Condensate Drain: 3/8-inch male flare
Compatible water hoses and adapters may be required based on the building’s plumbing connections.
For applications requiring quick installation and removal, consider the Oceanaire OWC2412QC Quick Connect Model.
Electrical Requirements
The Oceanaire OWC2412 operates on 208–230V / 60Hz single-phase electrical power.
The unit includes a NEMA 6-20P LCDI plug and requires a compatible receptacle and appropriately rated electrical circuit.
Published electrical specifications include:
- Rated current: 9.9 amps
- Inrush current: 55 amps
- Power consumption: 2,100 watts
The manufacturer recommends a dedicated circuit with appropriate time-delay circuit protection.
Built-In Condensate Pump
The OWC2412 includes an internal automatic condensate pump.
The pump provides up to 20 feet of vertical lift and includes an overflow alert for condensate management.
Collected water must be routed to an approved drainage location according to installation requirements.
Optional Accessories for the Oceanaire OWC2412
The Oceanaire OWC2412 can be paired with compatible water hoses, fittings, and other accessories to support temporary cooling installations.
Water Supply and Return Hoses
The standard OWC2412 features 3/8-inch male flare water inlet and outlet connections.
Compatible hoses should be selected according to the connection type, required length, operating pressure, and water-source arrangement.
Contact Climate Control Solutions to confirm compatible water hose assemblies and fittings.
Oceanaire OWC2412QC Quick Connect Model
For customers who frequently install, disconnect, or relocate portable cooling equipment, the OWC2412QC provides an alternative configuration with Quick Connect water fittings.
The Quick Connect version offers the same nominal 2-ton cooling capacity but uses a different water connection arrangement.
Unlike the standard OWC2412, the QC version features:
- 3/8-inch Quick Connect water inlet
- 3/8-inch Quick Connect water outlet
- 1/4-inch Quick Connect condensate drain
