The OceanAire OWC6012QC Series 5-Ton Water-Cooled Portable Air Conditioner delivers 60,100 BTU/hr of cooling for commercial, industrial, and temporary HVAC applications. Featuring factory quick-connect water fittings, these high-capacity portable spot coolers provide powerful cooling without requiring conventional hot-air exhaust ducting.
Available in 208–230V single-phase, 208–230V three-phase, and 460V three-phase configurations, the OceanAire 5-ton QC series offers electrical flexibility for manufacturing facilities, server rooms, commercial buildings, warehouses, and equipment rooms.
Each model features a 5 HP scroll compressor, 1,950 CFM of conditioned airflow, electronic temperature controls, and a built-in automatic condensate pump with up to 20 feet of vertical lift.
The water-cooled condenser transfers heat into a connected water stream rather than discharging hot condenser air into the surrounding space. Factory quick-connect fittings simplify connections to compatible condenser water supply, return, and condensate drain hoses.
Whether you need emergency cooling for temperature-sensitive equipment, temporary air conditioning during HVAC maintenance, or supplemental cooling for an industrial facility, the OceanAire OWC6012QC Series delivers commercial-grade performance in a portable water-cooled system.

Available Models and Electrical Configurations
The OceanAire 5-ton quick-connect series includes three electrical configurations. All provide the same 60,100 BTU/hr rated cooling capacity, but their electrical connections and current requirements differ.
OceanAire OWC6012QC — 208–230V Single Phase
The OWC6012QC is designed for facilities equipped with compatible 208–230V single-phase electrical service.
It provides approximately 5 tons of water-cooled portable cooling without requiring three-phase power.

- Rated Current: 23.7 Amps
- Inrush Current: 165 Amps
- Plug: NEMA 6-30P
- Net Weight: 375 lbs
A compatible NEMA 6-30 receptacle and properly rated electrical circuit are required.
OceanAire OWC6032QC — 208–230V Three Phase
The OWC6032QC provides 60,100 BTU/hr of cooling for facilities with 208–230V three-phase electrical service.
It is suitable for industrial and commercial installations requiring a three-phase portable cooling configuration.
Electrical Specifications:

Why Choose a Water-Cooled Portable Air Conditioner?
Traditional air-cooled portable spot coolers remove heat from a conditioned space and reject it through a separate stream of hot condenser air.
This often requires a ceiling panel kit, window adapter, or exhaust duct to direct the hot air away from the cooling area.
The OceanAire OWC6012QC Series operates differently.
Its water-cooled condenser transfers heat into a connected water stream, eliminating the need for a conventional hot-air exhaust duct.
This makes the 5-ton series especially useful in enclosed commercial and industrial spaces where suitable condenser water connections are available.
Benefits of Water-Cooled Spot Cooling
- No conventional hot-air exhaust duct required
- 5-ton cooling capacity for demanding commercial applications
- Quick-connect water fittings
- Three electrical configurations
- Built-in automatic condensate removal
- Portable cabinet with locking casters
- Optional directional air-distribution accessories
Important: The OWC6012QC Series requires a suitable condenser water supply, adequate flow, and an acceptable condenser water outlet or discharge arrangement.
The units do not independently provide a closed-loop condenser water system.
Common Applications for the OceanAire 5-Ton QC Series
Data Centers and Server Rooms
Data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications facilities generate substantial heat during continuous operation.
The OceanAire OWC6012QC Series can provide temporary or supplemental cooling for properly sized IT environments.

Quick-Connect Water Fittings
The OceanAire OWC6012QC Series includes factory quick-connect fittings for condenser water supply, condenser water outlet, and condensate drainage.
Condenser Water Inlet — 3/4″ Quick Connect
The inlet supplies condenser water to the refrigeration system.
A suitable water source must provide adequate temperature, flow, pressure, and water quality according to manufacturer requirements.
Condenser Water Outlet — 3/4″ Quick Connect
The outlet carries water away after it absorbs heat from the refrigeration system.
It must be connected to an appropriate condenser water discharge or return arrangement.
Condensate Drain — 3/8″ Quick Connect
The condensate drain removes moisture collected during cooling.
The unit includes a built-in automatic condensate pump with up to 20 feet of vertical lift.
A compatible drain hose and suitable drainage location are required.
Condenser Water Flow Requirements
The OceanAire OWC6012QC Series 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 | 3.8 GPM |
| 85°F | 15 GPM |
These estimates reflect manufacturer test conditions.
Actual condenser water demand varies depending on incoming water temperature, operating load, and water conditions.
The units include a water-regulating valve to help manage condenser water flow during operation.
Before ordering, verify that the installation can supply suitable condenser water and accommodate an acceptable water discharge or return connection.
Electrical Requirements
The OceanAire OWC6012QC Series is available in three electrical configurations.
| Model | Electrical Service | Plug | Compatible Receptacle |
|---|---|---|---|
| OWC6012QC | 208–230V Single Phase | NEMA 6-30P | NEMA 6-30R |
| OWC6032QC | 208–230V Three Phase | NEMA L15-30P | NEMA L15-30R |
| OWC6034QC | 460V Three Phase | NEMA L16-20P | NEMA L16-20R |
Each model requires a compatible receptacle and properly rated electrical circuit.
The three-phase versions use locking NEMA plugs rather than standard hardwired connections.
OceanAire recommends a dedicated circuit with suitable time-delay fuses or circuit breakers.
Electrical installation must follow the manufacturer’s specifications and the equipment nameplate.
The three electrical configurations are not interchangeable. Verify voltage and phase before selecting a model.
Built-In Condensate Pump
All three OceanAire OWC6012QC configurations include an automatic internal condensate pump.
The pump provides up to 20 feet of vertical lift and discharges collected moisture through the dedicated 3/8-inch quick-connect drain fitting.
The unit includes a condensate overflow alert.
Unlike portable air conditioners with manually emptied tanks, the OWC6012QC Series provides automatic condensate removal.
A compatible condensate drain hose and acceptable drainage location are required.
