Knight Division TacticalDoes KDT provide portable air conditioners and spot coolers?
Portable Air Conditioners & Spot Coolers
Yes.
KDT provides portable air conditioners and spot coolers, from 1-ton plug-in units to trailer-mounted 5–25 ton tent AC, delivered with ducting and power and serviced on your incident.
Typical configuration
- Spot coolers
- 1–5 tons (about 12,000–60,000 BTU/hr), 120 V or 208/230 V
- Tent AC
- 5–25 tons, trailer or skid mounted, ducted, usually 208/230 V or 460 V 3-phase
- Ducting
- Flexible supply and return duct, typically 12–24 in.
- Sizing
- Roughly 1 ton per 250–400 sq ft of tent in hot sun (varies with occupancy and equipment)
- Power
- Roughly 1.2–1.5 kW of generator capacity per ton (typical)
- Condensate
- Internal pump or gravity drain routed to a safe discharge point
Heat takes people and equipment out of action. KDT supplies portable cooling sized to the space: plug-in spot coolers for comms rooms, medical units and offices, and larger self-contained units that duct conditioned air into frame tents, sleeping tents and shelters.
Spot coolers run 1 to 5 tons (about 12,000 to 60,000 BTU/hr) on 120 V or 208/230 V. Tent AC units, usually on a trailer or skid, run 5 to 25 tons and feed the tent through flexible supply and return ducts. Either way, the unit needs power and a place for its heat and condensate to go, so we plan the generator load, the exhaust and the drain along with the unit.
After a hurricane, when the grid is down and buildings are hot and wet, portable AC keeps shelters, clinics and EOCs usable. On spill, hazmat and security sites it protects sleeping crews, rehab areas and electronics. We clean filters, manage condensate and swap any unit that fails.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide portable air conditioners and spot coolers?
Yes. We supply spot coolers and ducted tent AC units, deliver and set them up with power, and service them for the length of the incident.
How many tons of cooling does a tent need?
Tents gain heat fast in direct sun. As a rough start, figure about 1 ton per 250–400 sq ft, then adjust for occupancy, equipment and exposure. We size each space before we send units.
What power does a portable air conditioner need?
Small spot coolers plug into 120 V; larger ones need 208/230 V. Tent units of 5 tons and up usually need a three-phase feed. Plan on roughly 1.2–1.5 kW of generator capacity per ton.
Where does the condensate water go?
Air conditioners pull water out of the air. Units either pump condensate out through a hose or collect it in a tank, and we route it away from tents and walkways.
