Need Opinions of the Pros!!!

I've been thinking! say for instance someone was gonna build twin SEALED rooms on a flip flop, side by side say in a warehouse or something. Rather then having to run 2 small split style A/C's do u think you could use 1 bigger A/C to control both rooms. I have seen the Excel Air stuff but it is not what I'm talking about. I have a picture in my head, do u think this would work.

Room 1 and Room 2 would both have vents coming in from the central air unit. Room 1 would house the thermostat and CO2 Generator. Both rooms would have a large Can Fan in it that would vent into each other. Example, Can Fan in Room 1 would be exhausting directly into Room 2, and the Can Fan from Room 2 would be in return exhausting into Room 1. Would this equalize both rooms and keep them the exact same temp as each other 24/7. Kinda like a lung room but with no actual third room? And finally if this would work would it be a problem to have the temp stay at, say 78 deg for the room that is lights out? Or do the plants need to be cooler at night?

Sorry this was so long I'm BAKED

IMO you want different day and night temps, and everything I read seems to suggest that. By ducting the rooms together you wont have that.

Also if the rooms are big, like 10kw + each, you probably want each one to have its own A/C anyway

Rep+ for linking him to Mr.Slim, those are the top rated mini splits, period.

They really dont make one of these units big enough for what I'm talking about, Believe me I love mini splits too....

Ya I thought it might be the case, I just didn't want to have a bunch of condensers piled up out side and running all through the night and what not.

Does anyone think that the linked ducting would work/be efficient on a much smaller scale grow? Like an 8 X 9 X 12 room ducted (incoming & outgoing with fans pulling & pushing to circulate the air & CO2) to an 8 X 8 X 8?

I think it would work but you would have no way to lower your night time temps...

I am running a ductless system for my flower rooms that have 20,000 watts of light and they are not enough. I am looking into the plug and play Excel system 5 ton to run 2 -12' x 30' x 12' flower rooms running 20,000 watts of light.

Package units are all in one units and are mounted on the roof. You could also get a normal split A/C and mount the compressor on the roof.

I saw on the mr slim site, they have some bigger units. Did you look into all of them?

they make 3-4 ton splits, check the freidrich website
