how's this to air cool 1200 watts?

[dr.dro]

I have a basement grow in a 6x6x8=288cu.ft. room. Looking to cool 2 600 watters in 6" cool sun 2's.This room will be sealed besides passive intake (6 " at bottom of room), active exhaust(6 in at top). I need the exhaust to run 24/7 so no smell leaks out. Maximum length of whole exhaust set up will be 6 ft with everything.(lenght of room)
will be using panasonic whisper in-line fans(quiet).where is the best place to put the fan in this setup? or use 2 smaller fans?fans sizes to cool two lights? what size scrubber would work best with this setup? Just lookin to see if anybody here has any suggestions for me to make this work better? or any possable issues?

You will want the fan after the lights sucking hot air out and exhausting into the carbon filter if the room is not sealed. Match the cfm of your inline fan with the cfm rating of carbon filter you plan to use. A single 6'' 449cfm vortex will do a good job cooling both of your lights and exhausting into a can 66 carbon filter for odor control. Dont forget osciliating fans in the room to circulate the air and help prevent mold.

Also remember if you take a 90 degree turn, this will make it half the strength for the cfm. I must say the part of the picture where you have the fan is not very efficient unless you are using two fans. Remember its easier to pull air in than to push it in. Basically, vent the hot air by extraction.

SCrogger, why would you want the fan after the lights bro. Putting the fan after the lights will cause air frim the room to be sucked into the hoods after the filter which means stinky air being pumper out to the environment. Putting the fan before the lights causes a positive pressure in the hood, thus causing any leaks to be pushed back into the room. There will be leaks unless you tape up your hoods...even then.... will , but i'd push rather than pull thru hoods.


Ooops, i see you've "moved the filter". Yeah, thats good.

I run, in unsealed room, Filter....6" vortex....1k hood....1khood....outside, in that order. Never had a problem and have to turn the vortex down to about half with a speed control

Im currently pushin air thru with the 449 vortex but plan on usin another inline fan on the other side to pull it also. So I have a can66 with a vortex 449 sittin on top of it, then 6 inch duct work comes off of that and goes straight into my first Cool Sun reflector, then I daisy chain em and run the piece comin off the last reflector out of the room. Im bout to run it straight into the inlet that feeds my central a/c/heat. I just need a piece of duct thats maybe a foot longer and I can make the connection. I'd think bout maybe gettin 2 smaller fans then 449's and usin one on each side. Altho my setup works like a charm , its not the neatest or most efficient.Good luck

hey thanks 4 the responces guys. i wasn't thinking like this but yeah with my current picture i would be pulling through the scrubber but pushing threw the lights...hmmm. the room will be sealed except for the intake which will be passive (non-powered) with this setup will there be enough negative pressure to suck in fresh air from the intake. tryin to use 1 exhaust to cool my lights and bring in fresh air that is scrubbed at the end. maybe two smaller fans(of equall cfm) will work better?
