Airrex HSC-18R Portable Spot Cooler — 16,800 BTU, 1.5-Ton, R-454B
The Airrex HSC-18R is a 1.5-ton portable spot cooler engineered for directed cooling in mid-sized commercial and industrial spaces. With 16,800 BTU of cooling, two 5-inch front cold air nozzles for dual-direction targeting, and a 12-inch top warm air exhaust, it handles bigger heat loads than a single-nozzle unit while still running on a standard 115V circuit (NEMA 5-20 plug, 20-amp fuse). The HSC-18R uses modern R-454B refrigerant, includes a 5-gallon condensate tank with auto shut-off, and ships ETL listed. Operating range 59-118°F.
Key Features
Engineered for dependable performance with the features that matter most.
16,800 BTU Directed Cooling
1.5-ton cooling capacity at 95°F/40% — built for jobs that need more BTU than a 1-ton unit but still need to run on a standard outlet.
Dual 5" Cold Air Nozzles
Two front-mounted 5" diameter cold air nozzles let you split airflow between two work zones or stack both on a single hot spot for concentrated cooling.
Eco-Friendly R-454B Refrigerant
Modern low-GWP R-454B refrigerant — meets current environmental standards while delivering reliable spot cooling performance.
115V NEMA 5-20 Power
Plugs into a standard 115V 20-amp outlet (NEMA 5-20). LCDI recessed 12 AWG 3-core power cord, 10 ft long — no special wiring needed.
5-Gal Tank with Auto Shut-Off
Built-in 5-gallon condensate tank with automatic full-tank shut-off and tank position detector. Optional condensate pump for continuous drainage.
ETL Listed & Protected
ETL listed with high/low-pressure switches, 3-minute compressor delay timer, thermostat protector, and fan motor protection.
Note: The HSC-18R operates from 59-118°F ambient. An optional warm air duct kit (ducting + 2'x2' ceiling flange) routes the 12" warm air exhaust to a drop ceiling. An optional HEPA filter kit is also available (shared across the (A)HSC-14R / 18R / 24R models).
Ideal Applications
Mid-capacity spot cooling for commercial sites where 1 ton isn't enough but you still need a standard-outlet unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What outlet does the HSC-18R need?
The HSC-18R uses a 115V NEMA 5-20 plug on a 20-amp circuit — common in commercial kitchens, server rooms, and shops. The 10 ft, 12 AWG LCDI recessed power cord is included.
What's the cooling capacity?
The HSC-18R delivers 16,800 BTU/h of cooling (1.5-ton, rated at 95°F / 40% RH). It operates in ambient temperatures from 59-118°F.
Why two cold air nozzles?
The dual 5" front nozzles let you split cooling between two work zones (e.g., two adjacent workstations) or aim both at a single hot spot for concentrated airflow. Flexibility for different jobs without moving the unit.
What refrigerant does the HSC-18R use?
Modern, low-GWP R-454B refrigerant. The "R" suffix indicates this updated refrigerant generation; the older HSC-18 (no R) used R-410A.
How is condensate water handled?
A 5-gallon built-in tank with automatic shut-off and tank position detector handles condensate. For continuous drainage, an optional condensate pump plugs into the unit's quick-connect port.
Can I add a HEPA filter?
Yes. An optional HEPA filter kit is available for the (A)HSC-14R / 18R / 24R series — useful for jobsites or healthcare environments where extra filtration is needed beyond the standard washable filters.
