House Air Conditioner unit put in a Barn?

Have a unit from a house and was wondering if anyone has put one of them in a cooler and how you did it? Do i need more then just the unit itself or can i just put duck work in and would be off and running?

Just build a window or use an existing one and install and plug it in.  You may want butt fans to make sure the air circulates around the critters.

do you have any pictures of what you did?

If it is central air you are going to need the outside condenser unit as well as the blower for the inside and a thermostat.  It would be just like setting one up in a house.

We have a 3 ton central air unit I had professionally installed. I built the room and used R30 insulation. I can get the temp down to 55 when outside temps are over 85. It is more complicated than just plugging in a window unit. How many head will you have in the space and how big is the space. We have a 24 by 20 room. I can put 4-5 comfortablely in their and maintain temps.

I have the cooler already but i was wondering how hard it would be to put that central air unit in it.  Right now i just have a window air unit that keeps it at 65. We pulled the unit out of a house we bought so i figured id put it to work.

Honestly they don't look that hard to put together, but I have a feeling there is a reason these HVAC guys charge $75 hour. 

Here is a generic guide.
