Arctic Air Portable AC

When filled with ice, Arctic Air blows ambient air across a coil cooled by ice water. It's able to be powered by the 12 volts that run from a plane's cigarette lighter (POH must be consulted to confirm your aircraft's voltage) with a power cord that's 7.5 feet long. It has two settings, high and low, and it can cool a plane's interior for three hours on the low setting with flexible tubing. An included drainage tube can pump the water out when on the ground. Measuring 17x17x10 inches, it weighs 14 pounds empty and about 34 pounds full weight. No STCs are required. 

Price: $815. Available at: www.sportys.com.
