Hot air extraction

Everning all

Loving this forum already. Right quick question. I have got my hot air coming out of a small hole. It will easily be picked up on a FLIR camera and you can see it in the cold weather. Is there anything i can buy which will cool the air down before it goes outside.

Or will this idea i thought of work? I have a grow tent in a breeze bloke garage. The roof is insulated and the garage door. Could i have it so the hot air is blowed into the garage, the hot air would escape from the little vents just under the roof and though the cracks in the door. Then also have a air conditioning unit in there aswell.

I have everything else sorted just dont want to be picked up on the FLIR camera.

Any ideas much appreciated.

Thankyou for your time
:thank you:

As cold as it's going to get and depending on the total amount of wattage your burning, you may be better off just dumping inside the garage. The real problem would be during the dark cycle. You could run your lights at night and/or add a space heater during lights-off. But, a space heater would be the last option I would consider. I know that's not much help, but I wish you good luck!

not sure how to fix this
all I can think of is putting wet cloth over your exhaust nozzle end right before it exits your house????
Hope you figure something out bro.

Small hole, little vents, sounds like a little lamp. What's the worry? Just exhaust into the garage.

Dude, Id duct out next to or through your chimney or house heating system(if possible?). Ive ducted straight into the chimney before now, just remember you'll need to put in a couple of 360d bendz so light gets baffled. Personally i like exhausting into the attic using the eve vents/gaps as natural exit points. Chimneys the one if you have one.
Best of Luck Ry! ;)

Also ive used the cavity in the walls(wet to dry wall cavity), to both suck & blow air in/out, thats a sneaky one & it works, when the day comes for it to come down its just a simple patching plastering job to put it straight or replace a block or two! etc etc, thats a good one ;) ;) ;) Lump Hammer & Bolster & make yourself a couple of 5" or 6" holes! voi'laa!
