Depends on size of a/c unit and how long it runs. For rough figuring use 400-500 cfm from unit that is exhausted per 12000 btus/hr. Then use size of room to determine how fast you are exhausting the CO2.

Except you need to blow cool air into box.

If you're talking about the cheap units from general hydro (600$ roughly) those suck lots of air out of the room.

Kwikool, and some other portable a/c makers, offer dual-ducted sealed compressor units, which are supposed to avoid this problem. They usually cost at least 5x as much though.
