Description

Airrex HSC-18R 1.5 Ton Spot Cooler: Now Featuring R-454B Refrigerant – California Compliant and Environmentally Friendly

Overview:

When high temperatures threaten productivity, the Airrex HSC-18R Spot Cooler steps in to deliver rapid, reliable cooling. With 16,800 BTUs of cooling power, this portable air conditioner is your ideal solution for industrial sites, high-temperature work zones, car manufacturing plants, shipbuilding yards, steel mills, and more. Built to withstand environments reaching up to 115°F, it ensures comfort and safety even in the harshest conditions.

The new HSC-18R now features R-454B refrigerant, replacing the previous R-410A model. This updated refrigerant offers a lower global warming potential, improved environmental performance, and is approved for use in California, aligning with upcoming regulatory standards.

The HSC-18R also includes a dehumidification mode that helps control moisture levels and maintain comfort in high-humidity spaces. Combined with its industrial-grade durability and portable design, this unit is built to deliver powerful performance with modern compliance in mind.

Why It Stands Out:

The Airrex HSC-18R offers effortless mobility with four 4" swivel casters (two locking). Dual cold air discharge nozzles and a top warm air exhaust ensure efficient airflow. Optional warm air ducting and integrated safety features, such as high/low-pressure warnings, provide added flexibility and peace of mind in active environments.

What Customers Love:

Customers appreciate the HSC-18R’s ability to maintain a stable environment across a wide range of use cases—from auto repair shops and aviation workshops to server rooms and outdoor job sites. Its quiet operation (56–59 dB(A)) and robust metal construction make it ideal for noise-sensitive or rugged environments alike. The optional HEPA filter is especially valuable in dust-prone or indoor air-sensitive areas.

Perfect For:

  • Industrial Sites: Ideal for high-temperature work sites, car manufacturing plants, shipbuilding yards, and steel mills.
  • Repair Shops: Perfect for car repair shops, aircraft workshops, and farm machinery workshops that require temperature control for sensitive equipment.
  • Server Rooms: Designed to cool heat-generating equipment like server rooms, machine rooms, and data centers.
  • Outdoor Events: Great for providing cooling at outdoor events, ensuring comfort during warm weather activities.
  • Equipment-sensitive Environments: Helps protect machinery and equipment by maintaining a stable, cool environment in heat-intensive areas.
