Best position for window A/c

[Bud-Boy]

Buildin a new box.
Have a 10k BTU window ac
should I mount it above the canopy since
A: hot air rises, it can always suck it in easier or more efficiently
B: Cool air falls so itll go to the floor where mixing fans spread the love

??
RIght??

this is being treated as a small sealed room, co2, no exchange
6ftx 8ft
Ill need a dehumid in there because the cool hardly runs its so big

Maybe better to step down to a 5k BTU window in sted, keep her runnin so it dries the air up
1 unit running instead of 2

anyone thinkin like this???

I would use the 5k unit instead, otherwise its gonna keep on shutting off too quickly. Especially when the lights are out.
Mount it high up if possible. It'll work if its mounted "window height", just use fans to circulate the air alot, but higher up is better. Still use fans though.
You may still need a duhuey but at least the room will stay cooler for longer.

Its going to be 600 vert, sometimes 2 x 600 verts or 1200 vert plus 600vert
Not much at all
so im thinkin 5k ac up high, mixer fans below....
