Questions You Should Know about Rooftop Parking Air Conditioners

I kind of don't understand your situation. An RV air conditioner should work in any type of room or building. The air conditioner has an air intake from inside and then it circulates the air inside the conditioner, passes though the condensing coils, and spits cold air out the other side. I don't see where having any kind of exhaust fan in the building, on the opposite side of the building would make any difference. The air conditioner is designed to run and cool in any enclosed space.

Now, in order to circulate the air in the building (or completely sealed up camper), a circulating fan would help... you know, a simple floor or desk fan to push the air to the other side of the room or down a hall or something. Thus ... some manufacturers use duct work in the roof of RV's for the cold air to make a passage to each end of the camper. But a center blast air conditioner will simply blast the air straight down. You may want a separate fan to circulate the cold air in the room.

But needing an exhaust in the building is not needed at all.

The only thing you'll want to watch for, is to make sure the air conditioner can sit somewhat flat and somewhat level. I've seen RV air conditioners on 5ers where they are located on the roof between the low spot and the high spot on the over hang, at an angle. It looks weird, but I suppose they work OK. Still, if I were doing this, I'd want it as level as possible.

Other than circulation in a room, an RV air conditioner works pretty much like a house window air conditioner. Hot air in, cold air out. Do you need an exhaust to run a window air conditioner?

Edit?
I re-read your post. Are you saying the trailer air conditioner is located between the roof of your trailer and an add-on roof above the trailer? So if running, the air conditioner now way to cool the air conditioner components themselves, thus building up heat and eventually burning something out ... no surround air circulation? If so, then yes, run the exhaust fan. I think I get it.

Rooftop air conditioners are typical in commercial settings, but homeowners can benefit from these systems as well. The packaged systems differ from ground-level central air conditioning systems that many homes have. Read on to learn what rooftop air conditioners are and how they work.

What Are Packaged Rooftop Units?

A rooftop air conditioner is a self-contained unit installed on the rooftop usually on a commercial building.

Central AC systems are split air conditioning systems that require an outdoor condenser and an indoor air handler or furnace. A rooftop AC system is a package unit, which means it&#;s made of a unit containing both the condenser and the air handler. They connect to the ductwork in your home but don&#;t require an indoor part.

This type of system works similarly to other types of air conditioners. Warm air enters the unit and passes over the evaporator coils. The coils use refrigerant to remove heat from the warm air, and a fan blows the new cold air throughout the ductwork in your home.

The refrigerant, now warm, then circulates to the compressor, which releases heat from the refrigerant through the exhaust system. Some rooftop systems also include heating, typically in the form of a gas-powered heat exchanger.

Maintaining Your Rooftop Air Conditioner

Unfortunately, rooftop air conditioners are difficult to access for homeownevers. Issues can quickly add up when it&#;s tough to frequently check on or maintain your rooftop unit.

If you have a rooftop air conditioner sure that you regularly check your rooftop unit. Look for signs of build-up, rust, or cracks in your unit. If you spot a problem, it&#;s better to call a professional sooner rather than later.

Is a Rooftop Air Conditioner Right for You?

Before buying a rooftop air conditioner, think about where you have yard space, where your current indoor air conditioner is, and the weather in your area. If your area experiences heavy storms and heat waves, rooftop AC systems will require more maintenance and protection.

If you live in a climate that supports rooftop AC use, there are benefits to using this type of system. The units make less noise inside your home than split systems do and save space in your yard. Rooftop air conditioners can also increase your home&#;s energy efficiency, which can lower your energy costs.

FAQs About Rooftop Air Conditioners

What is the difference between a rooftop air conditioning system and an air handler?

Rooftop air conditioners and air handlers are both important parts of HVAC systems, but they do different things and have different features.

Rooftop cooling systems are installed on the roof of a building and are self-contained units, meaning they can heat and cool. Their parts include a compressor, acondenser, a condenser coil, an evaporator, and, in dual-function units, heating elements. Rooftop HVAC units are common in commercial building, schools, and some larger residential structures.

Air handlers are typically indoors, often in basements, attics, or dedicated closets. They are also part of split systems, meaning they work together with an outdoor unit. Air handlers circulate and condition air, but don&#;t cool on their own. Air handlers can be paired with various types of heating systems, like a furnace or heat pump. Their components include a blower, evaporator coil, and sometimes heating elements. Air handlers connect to ductwork to distribute conditioned air throughout the building, and are common in residential and commercial spaces.

How do rooftop air conditioning units work?

Rooftop air conditioning units are a packaged system that cool (and sometimes heat) buildings.

The unit draws warm air from the buildings through return ducts and outside air for ventilation. The air is filtered and passed over the evaporator coil with refrigerant. As the air cools, moisture condenses on the coil and is drained away. A blower fan then pushes cool air through ductwork into the building. You can control your rooftop unit with a thermostat.

How do I clean my rooftop AC unit?

I recommend hiring a professional for the regular maintenance of HVAC systems for safety precautions. But if you&#;re handy and take safety measures, you can clean your rooftop ac unit.

Make sure you cut the power to the unit and wear protective gloves and safety glasses. Clear leaves and other debris from the unit and remove the top of the unit to access the interior. Use a soft brush to remove dirt and debris from the condenser coils, and then spray them with a coil cleaner solution and rinse gently with a hose. Check and clean the evaporator coils the same way.

You can clean or replace air filters and clean the blower assembly blades with a damp cloth. Clean and drain pans and lines, check belts and lubricate moving parts, and then reassemble all parts and covers.
