Air conditioners have energy efficiency ratings (EER). This is a measure of BTU cooling per watt drawn, specifically EER = BTU/watts. At 7.5A * 110V you're drawing 825 watts.
It's actually a little higher, since your outlet is almost certainly 115-120V, and there may be other fudge factors. To get 8500BTU out of 825 watts you need an EER of at least 10.3. So, look for an 8500BTU air conditioner with an EER at least that high. Here's the problem.
You said >8500 BTU. Well, I've seen window air conditioners with EERs of 10-11, but if you wanted, say, 10000 BTU, you'd need an EER of at least 12.1, and I don't see many of those. You'll have to make a decision at some point exactly how many BTU you want.
The more you want, the higher the EER rating you'll need, and the harder to find (and more expensive) the unit will be. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
