Max watts for 8000 btu AC in closed room?

[NOYB]

Bought an AC mainly for my house at this point but just wondering if I were to use it for a closed room how many watts can an 8000 btu handle comfortably if using bottled CO2 and insulated ducting/hoods that are air cooled with more than adequate air flow...thanx. Also would be running a dehuey in there.

I may just change it for a 10000 btu unit but for sure not going with a 12000.

You guys were a shitload of help...thx. I'm gonna change my 8k unit for a 10k cause I think that will cover all the bases and then some.

ok smartass, first off you didn't even say what type of a/c you have, which makes a big difference, and second off, a quick search would have given you your answer

10k will do 5-6k aircooled depending on your size room i know for sure 1.5 tons 18000btus will do 8k air cooled just throwing it out even though your not going past 12000btus

Thanx...exactly the ballpark I was looking for and seems the 8k will be more than enough to do what I was intending but changing to the 10k to give me some room to expand. I always like a little overkill anyway.

Thanx again!
