I have a 6" ceiling output from my homes central AC in my bedroom and would like to use a splitter hooked up to it and run 4" ducting right into my 4 x 8 tents.
Is this ok to do, and if so, would it be good to use a 6" x 4" x 4" splitter? I would think the airflow coming from a 6" central line might be too weak to split into two 6" ducts. Or would 4" be too small?
I usually just let the ceiling output blow into the room itself and use extra tent inputs to bring in the "cool" air. What I'm trying to do is make the tents even cooler by inputting the cold air directly into the tents while still keeping the extra inputs.
The cost of trying this experiment would be about $20 for the splitter. My only concern is using the central AC output vent hooked up directly into the tent. There would be negative pressure from the exhaust fans 24/7 so I'm wondering if air would be forcibly pulled from that vent when the AC isn't running and if that would be a bad thing.
