Hi.
I was wondering if someone could let me know the best way to cool an enclosed area with CO2 enrichment.
The lights are 2 1000 watt HPS in cool tubes attached to adjust a wings ,ala Al. B. fuct, over 3, 2x4 tables in a 4x6 arrangement.
So the entire area of the flood tables is covered pretty much end to end with reflector
.
Including the space around the tables, I figure I have about 32 square feet.
The ceiling is approximately 7.5 feet so that gives me around 240 cubic feet of space.
I am not using CO2 at the moment, but when my CO2 controller/monitor arrives, I will be wanting to make the space pretty much air tight, except for the cooltubes.
They will continue to be vented with a fan.
I'm assuming the cooltubes being vented will not cool the room enough
(85 degrees F?), even with CO2 being kept at 1500 ppm, So I was thinking I'll need to be making/buying some kind of device to help cool the room.
An air conditioner is out because it needs to be vented and will screw up my CO2.
I was thinking some kind of copper coil with cold water/antifreeze running through it placed in ducting attached to a centrifugal fan.
I know there are plans out there on the net for this type of thing but most use ice water pumped through, which melts and needs to be replaced too often.
Any suggestions to how I can accomplish this?
Thanks in advance...
