Because of the way an AC unit works. The whole thing is based off of heat transfer which requires airflow. if there is no air going over the condensor, then the change of state cannot take place in the freon and it won't be as effective.

so when ppl put that thing in there window of the house the house has to bo moving? Or maybe the outside air flow doesnt matter becuase the unit has an internal fan?

That fan won't be as efficient if there isn't much air to pull though

It's kind of like being in higher altitudes where the air is alot thinner, but you still have the pressures of being near sea level.

[gigdy]

so instead of airflow you mean airdensity/volume ?

[ZfrkS62]

i guess that does make a little more sense out loud doesn't it?

It looks like it would be pretty easy to steal. Get in that guys truck bed, start pushing on the AC unit with your foot until you make it break loose and push it in so the seat falls forward. Then reach in, unlock the door... And you just got yourself a New AC Unit, Power converter, and what ever else he might have in his truck! lol

Did he install it backwards? Wouldn't you want the controls facing the inside of the truck or is it just me?

EDIT: nm...Im a moron.

wow, that really does look like something you would see in the red-neck part of florida. god help us all.
