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

Best option would be to vent the AC into the tent and have an exhaust fan move the air outside of your apartment through a window. You shouldn't be venting that hot air into your apartment.

Yes, i am venting them outside. I use both the dryer one and I have combined the other one through a standing AC that has those window kit. I got a 12,000 BTU standing AC but looks like it's not enough for 7 rigs, the tent stays at 100F. And I don't think the AC can withstand 24/7 operations... The AC is getting pretty hot after 48 hours.

Here I have an image of my setup:

I would be in the end putting 18 rigs in this tent. However I am very skeptical if i would ever be able to suck enough air out and provide enough AC... By the looks of it, i need to get 4 more AC unit... that's an additional 400$ monthly electricity bill.

Hey I posted in your other thread.

Your intakes should be 2x the volume of your exhaust for proper negative pressure and efficient passive extraction of the heat.

If your exhaust is a larger volume than your intake, than it's trapping heat inside the tent and not able to efficiently pull it out.

Example: If I had 12" exhaust, i'd want 24" intake or equivalent.
