A portable air conditioner and evaporative cooler are good to provide cooling to the home. But both types of cooling systems differentiate from each other.

An evaporative cooler is also known as “Swamp Coolers” is a cooling device to provide cool air into a room. They work on fans and water to create cool air and decrease room temperature by 20 degrees.

Portable air conditioners are a smaller version of the central air unit. Portable ac contains the same refrigeration chemicals as bigger and uses a compressor, condenser, & evaporative to create a cooling process. The process for a portable air conditioner is a bit complicated than an evaporative cooler. Portable air conditioners can work in any climate.
