Normal -- my 25-pint/day unit has about a two-liter bucket.  But it's
fitted to take a hose.

The VA hospital I've recently been haunting has several big airco
units in the ER -- two discharges each, about twelve-inch diameter by
three feet or so..  They always make me think of the robot from Lost
in Space, or some such.  I don't recall seeing big exhaust ducts -- I
wonder if they're water-cooled.  That's how I'd do it, so you could
run a little water hose to carry the heat to where it's convenient to dump it.

But the idea of one of those monsters squatting alongside a Vanagon
in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night has me ROFL, as
much as my feeble lungs will allow right now.  I wonder if the Hoover
Dam has electric outlets on the side...

Must be the drugs,
