Best Answer

The return hose or the cold line (different pipes) will both get very cold due to the operation of the Air Conditioner.

This causes water to condense (condensation) on the portions that are cold,

If the part is cold enough the water freezes into frost that you see.

What causes the vacuum hose to collapse while engine is running?

The pressure inside the vacuum hose is lower than the pressure outside the hose. If the hose is old and weakened, it'll fold up on itself. If the pressure difference is bigger than the hose is expected to be able to deal with(by some other reason) the hose will collapse too. If someone has replaced a real vacuum hose with, say a fuel hose, that too can be a reason.


Do they have hose less portable air conditioners?

Yes, they do have hoseless portable air conditioners. Traditional portable air conditioners typically come with an exhaust hose that needs to be vented outside to expel hot air. However, advancements in technology have led to the development of hoseless or "ventless" portable air conditioners. These units use innovative cooling technologies that eliminate the need for an exhaust hose. Instead of venting hot air outside, they often use alternative methods such as evaporative cooling or self-contained cooling systems. Keep in mind that while hoseless portable air conditioners offer more flexibility in terms of placement, they may have limitations in cooling capacity compared to traditional units with exhaust hoses.

Do portable air conditioners use a lot of electricity?

All air conditioners use a good bit of electricity. There is no way around that. Portable Air Conditioners use more electricity than other types of AC's when compared with actual cooling power. this is due to the fact that all of the heat producing components are located inside the room being cooled. That is not the case when looking at Window Air Conditioners, DPAC's and Split AC's. That is not to say that portables aren't great for cooling your space.. It's just that they tend to use a bit more power in doing so.. You can minimize this issue by buying a dual hose air conditioner and by insulating the exhaust hose with an insulating blanket.
