Hi everyone..
So I have this problem with the heat at the canopy level. I bought myself a nice 250cfm fan and a cooltube, and while everything is set up and running, my 250watter still produced too much heat. It's about 30C/86F at canopy level.
I've honestly searched far and wide about cooltube setups and I've been stretched thin from it...
The fan itself is new, I just got it today after upgrading from a poxy 60cfm. I hooked up the old fan to the cooltube, but it had to be paired with an oscillating fan to keep the temps at 30C.
I'm desperately trying to eliminate the need for an oscillating fan, as my cab is small as it is (about 1,9x1,6x5,2feet).
As of now I'm pulling the air from the cooltube and exhausting it oustide. I have seen setups were the cooltube is on it's own independant ducting system, although I have also seen people do what I do, I swear I thought my calculations were all right and that 250cfm would be enough.
I'll add a few pictures to get you guys a good idea on how the setup looks like.
Peace, and thank you for your time.
