The exhaust hose runs hot by design, that heat radiates into the same space you are trying to cool, and the compressor compensates by working longer. Wrapping the hose is the cheapest intervention in the whole system, and it is the one most people skip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.85;color:#333;margin:0 0 18px;\"\u003eThis sleeve is an Oxford fabric composite shell that slides over the exhaust duct and closes with two straps, no tools and no adhesive. The weave is dense enough to hold a thermal barrier and stiff enough that it does not collapse against the duct when the machine is running. It fits 5 to 5.9 inch hoses, which covers the diameter used by most single and dual-duct portable units sold in the last decade, and runs 150 cm long so the whole exhaust run is covered rather than half of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.85;color:#333;margin:0 0 18px;\"\u003eThe second benefit is mechanical. Exhaust hoses crease, crack and eventually split at the flex points, and a split hose vents hot air into the wall instead of outside. The sleeve takes the abrasion that the duct would otherwise take, and it hides the accordion plastic that makes a portable unit look like a temporary fix in a finished room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp

the hose runs across a wall. Small offices, server cupboards, campervans and garage workshops use the same sleeve for the same reason: the duct is hot, the room is small, and the difference shows up on the electricity bill. It also helps in winter with a heat-pump style unit, since the same insulation keeps heat in the duct instead of bleeding it into the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-promise\" style=\"margin-top:28px;padding:20px 22px;background:#f7f8fa;border-left:3px solid #1A3A5C;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;color:#1A3A5C;margin:0 0 10px;\"\u003eThe EastSupplier Promise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.8;color:#444;margin:0;\"\u003eSourced directly from vetted manufacturing partners, inspected before dispatch, and priced without distributor layers.
