So I have started to my rigs in a grow tent as they made my apartment basically unlivable due to the heat. I currently use two 6' inline fans to pump air out, and a 12K BTU standing AC to pump cold air in it (it's using 15kW!). I was wondering what temperature should i get within the tent. It's at 104F when i seal the tent and ~90F when i don't, basically dissipating the heat into my small one bedroom apartment. Should i use bigger fans? Was thinking of changing to 12' 1060CFM ones instead of 400CFM. Is 104F too high?
Thanks
No, you're not using 15kW dude. Average 12BTU ac uses like 1200-1500 watts, not 15,000 watts.
Also those inline fans need to be pointed OUTSIDE. not back into the room. All you're doing is generating heat, and recirculating the new heat your generating back into the tent.
ac creates heat. where's the exhaust going? back into the room? that's not going to work. exhaust on the tent. where's that going? back into the room? that's not going to work.
