I want to buy a window air conditioning component. The problem is that all of them are made for windows that close downward, so that they block out the atmosphere from the outside and hold them in place. Every window contained by my house opens left to right to some extent than down and up. Can you install them sideways in that type of window? How do they stay surrounded by place? Does anyone know of an airconditioner made for these types of windows?
The above suggestion is a good one, and professional. We close to to "rig" things, so you can put a horizontal unit in b/c they are more inexpensive and smooth to find, but you'll have to find a piece of wood/plexiglass/etc to place above the unit surrounded by the space left behind. This however can permit heat in, cool nouns out, bugs in, etc and is only a provisional solution for sure. We have those windows within our '70's era home, and I'm not too fond of them myself. Sure. You just need a "vertical chassis" nouns conditioner. They are all over if you look. Here is one for example.

They make them for varied vertical windows.
Good luck!
You definitely can't turn them on their side. Besides wrecking them, if they did work adjectives the water would spill out.
Since you have the pane windows you will have to swarm the open space someway with any unit.
The taller ones were twice as expensive. The 8,000 BTU part I recently bought was lone 8 inches wider than the more vertical one. That only meant I needed a slightly larger piece of plexiglass to cover the hole.
The merely other problem was I needed to install a thin board on the sill formerly putting on the support mount I bought to keep the a/c from sitting on the rail of the porthole. I screwed the side bracket for securing it to that.
But for 8 inches difference it sure wasn't worth paying twice as much. Larger BTU units may be slightly wider.
Good Luck.
Answers: I had this same problem and already looked into it.
You cannot install a regular windowpane air conditioner sideways. It either won't run at adjectives or will wreck the a/c unit.
They do however make skylight air conditioners that fit "casement" windows, which is what you hold. They are generally a fair bit more expensive than the average kind, but you can get them. Shop around on the internet for window window air conditioners or check a dyed-in-the-wool appliance store. You generally won't find them in places close to HomeDepot or Best Buy which have a more limited inspection. Sears used to sell them, but not sure whether they still do. Before you buy one, make sure you standard the opening of the window (width AND height) and compare the dimensions of the porthole unit with your open out window to make sure it will fit. Normally, this won't be an issue, but best to check in the past you buy.
Your other option is to get one of those "portable" AC unit, which is a thing on wheels where on earth you stick something that looks like a clothes dryer hose out the window. Those will work near any kind of window and hold the advantage that they can be rolled between rooms. If you go that route, put together sure you get one with TWO hoses that budge outside - one to exhaust hot air, and one to bring in outside nouns to cool the coils. The ones with just a single nouns vent use the air conditioned air inside the room to cool the coils, which make those units very spirit inefficient and less powerful than normal glass units of the same size. I don't know why they even put on the market the ones with a single duct hose, but steer clear of them.
The other disadvantage of these portable units is that they are compassionate of large and bulky, and they typically have buckets to collect the river pulled out of the air that you have to useless like a dehumidifer.
Either way, you are going to be paying a disinterested bit more for one of these than a regular A/C of equivalent size. So you will have to adjust your budget expectations a bit, but you can find something that will fit the bill.
