Dehumidifier location in grow room

joka

Hello everyone,

I'm building out a room and was wondering if there was any requirements for the location of the dehumidifier. I want to build a shelf and mount it mid way on the wall and then drain out of room to a bucket...

Are there any benefits or losses, should it be at a certain height...???

Room is 19'x12'
8 panda medium de reflectors (epapillon knock offs)
4 nanolux de ballasts and 4 badboy ballasts
4 16" fans
10" 825 cfm fan on can 150 as scrubber (ducted to other side of room)
3 ton ac that controls veg and flowa rooms. Flowa room has two 7" delivery and two 6" 10"x4" registers connected to a y with a 10" pusher fan for return veg room has two 7" delivery and one 12"x12" return (future design is to connect the flowa room return to a t with a 8" fan and some dampers to use as room evacuation system for co2 removal and high temp control)
Also pulling cold air in to a lung room that then gets vented into main room to supplement cooling (basically to keep ac off as much as possible based on the weather)

Room is insulated well

it does not matter where you place this dehumidifier. water vapor diffuses through air very very very easily. its not like liquid liquid diffusion or anything like that.

ideally the dehuy would be placed near to your return air intake... but again it wont make much difference at all.

we learned about this way back in like... gchem 2 to calculate moles of some solute diffused into some static volume of solvent via some ideal membrane... it was a dumbed down arhenious equation, but the principal is the same with gasses.
