Monoblock Air Conditioner Window Sealing: Creating Custom Adapter for Different Window Sizes

But you haven't described how this relates to a change in room temperature

It would be even better if 2 pipes could be inserted into such a frame: inlet and outlet. But then the monoblock would have to have 2 inputs (maybe there are such?). In such a solution, it would not draw in air from the outside.

I had an old air conditioner with two channels. Now the smartest designers they thought that one channel is enough to eject warm air obtained from cooling the exchanger and the air inlet from the room can be covered only with a grille (check if there is a hidden channel under this grate that can be used for air intake from the outside) (and it is not very important here that the air outside is also hot, because the outgoing is hotter, so the one that enters the air conditioning has and such an optimal temperature, and even a gram of this air does not enter the apartment).
Once I allowed myself to use only one channel that just ejects hot air, the air conditioner was running non-stop because the room had a fairly large volume, you could feel that it was actually a bit cooler in the room, but after these few hours we started to smell something else, a stench, some chemicals, various strange smells, which finally gave me a headache, the room was not tight, it had gravity channels, there were also often opened doors, everyone who entered this room asked what stinks so much.
We were wondering about the reason for this, we came to the conclusion that it was an air conditioner, the duct that should take the air from outside to the exchanger took it from our room, which changed the oxygen saturation and we began to smell other smells that were in this room, but not were felt by us due to the higher oxygen content.
Everything has changed since we used the outside air intake, and it really doesn't matter how close the intake duct to the exhaust duct is. It is important that both channels are released outside , and they did not take air from the room in which we live and hope that it will draw in some gaps or through gravity ventilation in the bathroom or kitchen.

Hello. I know that it is not the time to do this, because it's winter and nobody thinks about cooling the room, but one has to be prepared for summer. When, if not now. ?
I live in an old building, there are chimneys in the apartment that are closed after old tiled stoves and ventilation ducts. Or maybe it is possible to break into one of the ducts in the room, insert a grate suitable for the inlet of the pipe with a gate valve in the event of removing the pipe and throw warm air into this ventilation or chimney duct. Is it possible and safe?

A very old topic, but what do you think about the DIY idea to recreate the Warmatec thermoblock solution using a mosquito net frame from Allegro with window hooks, only instead of a mosquito net, plexiglass with a hole for an air conditioner pipe? It seems to me a cool solution for about 30-40% of the price offered by Warmatec and it seems quite simple to make. Or even simpler instead of plexiglass, some durable material with a pipe collar. In the case of plexiglass, it is worth considering a balcony frame with hinges to open the window outside if it is the only window in the room.

I am also considering these options, only in the attics I would have to break through to the ventilation chimney because the old building and the attic, nobody added ventilation in the rooms, but otherwise a cool option, by all means

Good day.
This year I could not stand it and switched to a portable air conditioner, but unfortunately I cannot afford any other solution.
At the moment I am using a window sleeve / gasket, but I was going to buy a Thermoblock Pro frame until I was presented with a quote.
Mr. Tomasz, have you managed to make the frame yourself, on what materials was it made?
Maybe a photo could be inserted.

This year I got pissed off and made a decent adapter. Wooden box from the store with a wood 25x25 height 8 adapter for 150mm cable. The opening is slightly taped, on flat foam gaskets and tied together nicely with two straps at the back.


The cooling efficiency has increased significantly and there is no negative pressure in the room, but it still pulls from the yard - this PVC rag is not good. Now the only thing left to do is deal with the openings in the window. Plexa 4mm to the size of 65x130 is 220. Too expensive, I will combine. Thermoblock 450
