Floor AC unit w/exhaust??

[jod2233]

I have a floor ac unit w/an exhaust but i need to put it in a room with no windows. the closest window is about 20 feet through drop ceiling. What should i do??

Is this a roll around air conditioner? Obviously you can't vent off the latent heat in a closed room. Option one is install a window. The vent tube should occupy the closest exit point and having a window 20 feet away may work, the burden on the a/c unit is too great for extending the exhaust tube. Another potential problem is draining the condensate. Most a/c units have a slinger that blows a bit of the condensate through the condenser and out the back of the unit.
