Mobile air conditioner for demanding environments: introducing the AC 15000

High-capacity mobile cooling when it matters most

Across many sectors, organisations periodically encounter environments where temperatures climb beyond safe limits for people, equipment, or temperature-sensitive goods. In these situations, permanent cooling infrastructure is not always installed, permitted, practical, or able to react quickly enough to stabilise conditions.

When temperatures rise unexpectedly, the consequences can appear almost immediately:

• Warehousing and manufacturing spaces can become overheated during extended operating hours or while storing sensitive materials. Even short-term temperature increases may damage inventory or disrupt workflow efficiency.

• Server rooms — including temporary technical environments such as multi-room installations or event-based infrastructure — can experience rapid temperature escalation during servicing activities or when fixed cooling systems are underperforming or offline.

• Food storage, handling, and distribution operations must remain within strict temperature thresholds to prevent spoilage, meet compliance requirements, and maintain continuity throughout the cold chain using adaptable cooling support.

• Offices, retail environments, hospitality areas, and protected heritage buildings often require discreet, low-impact cooling solutions where permanent installations are limited or restricted.

• Hotels, restaurants, marquees, event venues, and other temporary structures benefit from flexible cooling equipment that can be deployed quickly and operate effectively wherever it is needed.

In these situations, mobile air conditioners provide a flexible solution.

Powerful cooling for demanding environments

The AC 15000 mobile air conditioner is designed for high-capacity temporary cooling in demanding environments. With up to 18 kW of cooling capacity, it delivers powerful cooling where permanent systems cannot provide enough capacity or cannot be installed.

Key specifications: AC 15000

• Cooling capacity: up to 18 kW
• Airflow: up to 3,450 m³/h
• Operating temperature range: -5°C to 47°C outdoor temperature
• Power supply: 400 V / 3-phase
• Installation distance: up to 30 m between indoor and outdoor units
• Control: mobile app, Bluetooth or cloud connection

This combination of high cooling capacity, portable design and flexible installation distance makes the unit suitable for professional temporary cooling applications.

As a portable split air conditioner, the AC 15000 can be deployed quickly without specialist installation.

Typical applications include:

• Data centre and server room cooling
• Temporary office cooling
• Industrial spot cooling
• Event and marquee cooling
• Emergency HVAC backup

What is a mobile air conditioner?

A mobile air conditioner is a portable cooling unit designed to provide temporary or flexible climate control.

Professional units often use a portable split system design, where an indoor unit provides cooling and an outdoor unit dissipates heat.

These systems are commonly used for:

• Temporary cooling solutions
• Emergency HVAC support
• Cooling temporary buildings
• Cooling IT equipment and server rooms
• Event and marquee climate control

Compared with fixed HVAC installations, mobile air conditioners offer fast deployment, flexible positioning and minimal installation requirements.

AC 15000: powerful cooling for large spaces

Large spaces and high heat loads require powerful cooling capacity.

The AC 15000 mobile air conditioner is designed for demanding professional applications where reliable cooling is critical.

Key performance features include:

• Up to 18 kW cooling capacity
• Airflow up to 3,450 m³/h
• Operation in outdoor temperatures up to 47°C
• Robust metal construction for industrial environments

This makes the AC 15000 suitable for data centre cooling, industrial environments and large temporary structures.

Fast deployment with portable split system design

The AC 15000 is designed for rapid installation and flexible positioning.

The indoor and outdoor units connect via quick-connect, self-sealing flexible hoses. This allows installation without a refrigeration technician.

Key mobility features include:

• Portable split system design
• Sstandard 10 m hose length, extendable to 30 m
• Up to 8 m vertical separation between units
• Transport handles, heavy-duty wheels and forklift handling

This enables rapid deployment in temporary installations, industrial environments and emergency cooling situations.

Energy-efficient and quiet operation

The AC 15000 uses EC fan technology with automatic speed control.

The indoor fan adjusts speed based on the difference between the set temperature and the actual room temperature. This reduces unnecessary noise and energy consumption.

The outdoor fan adjusts according to ambient conditions to maintain stable and efficient cooling performance.

Remote monitoring and control

The AC 15000 can be controlled using the Dantherm Control App.

Users can monitor and operate the unit remotely via Bluetooth or cloud connection.

Key functions include:

• Temperature adjustment
• Fan speed control
• Timer and weekly scheduling
• Monitoring multiple units simultaneously

This simplifies operation for facility managers, event operators and rental companies.

One product range with two capacity levels

The AC 15000 is the high-capacity model designed for large spaces and high heat loads.

For smaller rooms or targeted cooling, the product range also includes the AC 7000 mobile air conditioner, which offers a more compact cooling solution.

AC 7000 vs AC 15000

Both models share the same portable split air conditioner design, allowing fast deployment and flexible use.

Typical applications for mobile air conditioners

Data centre cooling

Server rooms generate significant heat loads. Mobile air conditioners provide temporary cooling capacity or emergency backup cooling to protect critical IT infrastructure.

Event and marquee cooling

Tents, marquees and temporary venues often cannot support permanent HVAC systems. Portable air conditioners provide reliable cooling for events and temporary workspaces.

Emergency HVAC cooling

When permanent cooling systems fail or require maintenance, mobile air conditioners provide immediate temporary cooling to prevent downtime.

Industrial spot cooling

Production areas and workshops often require targeted cooling for work areas or equipment.

Flexible cooling for professional environments

The AC 15000 mobile air conditioner provides a powerful solution for temporary cooling, emergency HVAC support and high-demand environments.

Its combination of high cooling capacity, portable split system design and rapid deployment makes it suitable for professional applications where cooling reliability is critical.

For smaller spaces or targeted cooling applications, the AC 7000 offers a compact alternative within the same product range.

Frequently asked questions

What is a portable split air conditioner?

A portable split air conditioner is a mobile cooling system with separate indoor and outdoor units connected by flexible hoses. The indoor unit cools the air while the outdoor unit releases heat. This design allows higher cooling capacity and quieter operation compared with single-unit portable air conditioners.

When should a mobile air conditioner be used?

Mobile air conditioners are typically used when:

• Permanent HVAC systems cannot provide enough cooling
• Temporary buildings require climate control
• Emergency cooling is needed after system failure or in connection with maintenance
• Additional cooling capacity is required during heat waves and/or peak loads

What cooling capacity is needed for temporary cooling?

Cooling capacity depends on room size, heat load and application. Smaller spaces often require units around 5–7 kW, while large environments such as data centres or event tents may require 15–20 kW or more.

What are typical applications for mobile air conditioning?

Common applications include:

• Data centre and server room cooling
• Eevent tent and marquee cooling
• Temporary office cooling
• Industrial spot cooling
• Emergency HVAC backup
