Marquee Air Conditioning Hire Crawley and Sussex

Are you holding an outdoor event soon?  If you are using a marquee, cooling can be a requirement any time of year. With our marquee cooling hire you can spot cool specific areas of your marquee, tent or indoor event space. You may wish to keep the dance floor area cool, the bar area, food preparation or event kitchen cooler, or comfort cool the entire marquee.  Whatever time of year you are holding your event – winter or summer – we are here to advise and assist you on the best marquee cooling or heating hire package for your event.

London Cool offers modern cooling services such as portable air conditioning hire specifically tailored for marquees, event tents, temporary structures, and outdoor venues. Our marquee air conditioning hire is perfect for events, weddings, and festivals in London and the South East.

Our portable event cooling and air conditioner units include fans, evaporative coolers and portable air conditioner units, including mobile, energy efficient spot coolers where the warm air is ducted outside the marquee. Some spot coolers also feature a heat pump making them extra versatile as they can warm or cool a marquee.

London Cool also have a wide range of patio heaters for hire for use in outdoor events and parties.

Air Conditioning

An air conditioner is an appliance, system, or mechanism that is designed to extract heat from an area using a refrigeration cycle. A complete system of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning is referred to as HVAC. Its purpose is to provide comfort conditions during hot days and nights. Air conditioning units pump out thermostatically controlled cool air that has been chilled through heat extraction.

Portable Air Conditioners

Portable air conditioners come in three forms, split, hose exhaust, and evaporative. The main uses/advantages of portable air conditioning are:

  • Movable – they can be positioned where needed
  • Temporary – in areas where air conditioning might not normally be needed, but there is a temporary requirement.
  • Emergency – portable air conditioning units can be supplied as emergency backup

Spot Coolers

Portable Air Conditioning units which have flexible cold air outlet tubes are normally called ‘spot coolers’ and consist of a compressor, condenser coil and evaporator coil in a single, self-contained unit.  They are designed to cool specific areas, the positions of which are determined by the direction of the outlet tubes or nozzles.

Inside the unit, cold refrigerant passes through the copper pipe from the compressor coil into the evaporator coil. A fan blows over the evaporator coil, venting the cool air out. A second fan pushes hot exhaust air out through flexible ducting. As well as cooling the air, the moisture is re-condensed out of the air and collected in an integrated water reservoir that is emptied manually.

Split Portable Air Conditioners

A split system has an indoor unit on wheels connected to an outdoor unit via flexible pipes, similar to a permanently fixed installed unit. Split system room Air Conditioners come as either refrigerant based or water cooled.

Why Marquee Air Conditioning Is Important

Marquees, pop-up venues, and festivals are becoming more and more popular. However, these marquees and tents lack climate control, which can create challenges such as:

  • Stifling conditions on warm days
  • Limited airflow once guests start filling the space
  • Temperatures are reliant on the weather

That’s why air conditioning is important to maintain a comfortable environment for guests. They deliver controlled, consistent cooling that protects guest comfort and helps ensure your event runs smoothly.
