These were the best, and then they were discontinued:

We also have a bunch of these at the shop

This last one is what my friend was telling me. Our shop is in the 90's plus, would they work in this situation do you think?

yeah they do. our shop, is currently like 115 (even worse, we have 3 acs in the warehouse, and 2 of them are broken due to a poser issue from our provider !!!), and those are huge big buckets of win.

I would also try and vent the air close to the ceiling, either with an exhaust fan cut high into the wall or through the roof.  the more hot air you remove, the better.

Yes, with absolutely no other escape, that will be part of it. But, do we need one or two of those roof ventilators if the portable AC works out...

We did one in the ceiling. It helps.

I would suggest two. I want two.

We're also thinking two exhaust fans in the roof, 24".

I'm thankful to have central heat and AC in our shop. We keep it 70-73 all year.

Lots of great tips in this thread that will benefit shops even if they have air conditioning already. Efficiency beats power.

Are you doing anything in addition to ?having a/c??

We have 3,000 sq. ft. with 10' ceiling with a annual heating and cooling cost of $1,200.00.
Also we don't have a huge drier just a 40 amp drier, 2 flash units and some hot presses.

Around these parts, that would have been dirt cheap 30 years ago!
