An air conditioner, comprising:
- a housing including an ambient side and an enclosure side separated by a divider, wherein the enclosure side faces an enclosure to be cooled by the air conditioner;
- the ambient side including an interface formed by a first and second side of the housing, the interface fitting in a flush-mounted configuration with respect to a wall of the enclosure to be cooled, whereby the entire air conditioner is disposed within the enclosure;
- wherein the ambient side comprises one or more baffles affixed thereto, a first baffle of the one or more baffles being positioned on the ambient side to define a space between the first baffle and the first side of the housing;
- wherein the one or more baffles are extendable;
- a fan that moves air from within the housing to an exterior of the housing;
- and
- condenser coils disposed within the housing;
- whereby ambient air enters the housing via the space between the first baffle and the first side of the housing, and warmed ambient air exits the housing via transit over the condenser coils and through a second space defined between the first baffle and one of:
- a second baffle of the one or more baffles, and the second side of the housing.
