Common Applications for the Airrex HSC-36R
Warehouses and Manufacturing Facilities
Warehouses and industrial manufacturing facilities often contain large work areas, heat-generating equipment, and production processes requiring additional cooling.
The Airrex HSC-36R delivers 36,000 BTU/hr of cooling to help manage elevated temperatures in specific areas without requiring the entire facility to be cooled.
Common industrial applications include:
- Manufacturing workstations and production lines
- Industrial equipment and machinery
- Assembly and packaging areas
- Warehouse workstations
- Maintenance and repair areas
Its portable design allows the unit to be repositioned as cooling requirements change.
Server Rooms and Data Center Cooling
Server rooms, networking equipment, and data center support areas generate substantial heat during continuous operation.
The Airrex HSC-36R can provide temporary or supplemental cooling during HVAC maintenance, equipment upgrades, or unexpected air conditioning failures.
With 3 tons of nominal cooling capacity, the HSC-36R may be suitable for equipment areas requiring more cooling than smaller 1-ton or 2-ton portable air conditioners can provide.
Proper cooling-load calculations, air distribution, exhaust routing, and condensate drainage are important when using portable air conditioning around sensitive IT equipment.
For additional information, read our Best Portable Spot Coolers for Server Rooms in 2026 guide.
Commercial and Healthcare Facilities
The Airrex HSC-36R can provide supplemental cooling for commercial buildings, temporary workspaces, healthcare support areas, and other suitable professional environments.
Its wheeled design allows cooling equipment to be positioned where additional capacity is needed during HVAC maintenance or temporary facility operations.
Emergency and Temporary Air Conditioning
Unexpected HVAC failures can interrupt business operations, affect employee comfort, and expose temperature-sensitive equipment to elevated temperatures.
The HSC-36R provides a portable cooling option for temporary and emergency applications when properly sized and installed.
It can also support planned HVAC maintenance, renovations, equipment replacement, and short-term commercial cooling projects.

Installation and Electrical Requirements
The Airrex HSC-36R operates on 220V / 60Hz single-phase power and uses a NEMA 6-30 plug.
The unit requires a compatible electrical receptacle and properly rated circuit. It cannot operate from a standard 115V household outlet.
Before ordering, confirm that your facility has the necessary electrical service and that the installation meets manufacturer instructions and applicable electrical codes.
Warm-Air Exhaust Requirements
Like other air-cooled portable air conditioners, the HSC-36R removes heat from the conditioned area and releases it through the condenser exhaust.
The HSC-36R features a 16-inch diameter warm-air exhaust outlet.
For effective cooling, warm condenser air must be discharged away from the conditioned area to prevent heat buildup.
Compatible exhaust ducting and ceiling accessories can be used to direct warm air to an appropriate discharge location.
Built-In Condensate Management
The Airrex HSC-36R includes a built-in condensate pump to help remove water collected during operation.
This reduces the need for manual condensate removal and supports applications requiring extended cooling operation.
Condensate drainage must be routed to an approved location according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Optional Accessories for the Airrex HSC-36R
The Airrex HSC-36R can be paired with optional accessories designed to improve exhaust management and installation flexibility.
Airrex 16-Inch Ceiling Tile Kit
The Airrex 16-inch ceiling tile kit is compatible with the HSC-36R and provides a convenient solution for routing warm condenser exhaust through a suspended ceiling installation.
The kit includes:
- 24″ × 24″ pre-cut ceiling tile
- 16-inch diameter flexible exhaust duct
- 8-foot duct length
This accessory helps organize exhaust ducting for commercial offices, server rooms, equipment areas, and other facilities with suitable suspended ceiling systems.
The ceiling space must provide an appropriate exhaust path capable of accommodating the discharged heat.

16-Inch Flexible Exhaust Ducting
Additional 16-inch flexible ducting may be useful for installations requiring longer exhaust runs or alternative equipment placement.
Duct length and installation configuration should remain within the manufacturer’s permitted limits to avoid excessive airflow restriction.
