Lose the tent mate, they make life harder than it should be imo.No scrubber?
I have never found a scrubber good enough to recirc, like the two fan system outlined. I have double filtered with an ozone gen following, but it's just not enough. I have been through the makes, and had carbon by the pallet to get importers to send the lorry. Giving me access to a world of grades, from the two biggest names in the business. I have 100% exhausted the choices. They are very useful, but just as the moisture passes through them, so does anything dissolved in that moisture. They have defined limits. The difference in effectiveness starts to come down to who it is that's smelling it.
I can do something similar. The lung room can't use a stat, it would run all the time to ensure negative pressure on the whole space. It would be the tent extract with the temp/rh control. Both systems would need a filter, as I need to open the tent and trim/dry in the room.
This need to keep the lung under negative pressure, doesn't reduce cold through the property. It's an improvement on what I have, but still leaves me looking at the actual pressure and fan control to achieve it. One ideal, is a fan speed controler on that lung extract, that's not interested in temp or RH, but modifying the pressure. Set low, it's for normal. Set high, for trimming days. However, its the pressure I'm turning up and down.
If this can be made simple, and works, then people will realise it's useful.
I have other ideas, with duct divertor valves. When a set extract fan, moves duty between tent and lung, incrementally as needed. I really need to free up £50 for a mess about, but this month is my taxes, my cars shot, and my phone's well overdue replacement. The boiler need tending to regularly, just to run on low, and child support for 2025 is due.
I might have to take the tent out, and get commercial about this. Them divertors are not the right thing though, as they just aint cheap. Louvers over passive filter on the lung intake are also too expensive. I need to focus on fan speed, not actuators.
You could then try having one filter/fan on 24/7 at full speed as an outtake from the room.
Use passive intake to bring in fresh air.
Add a small intake fan on thermostat to increase flow/cool when needed. Make sure that negative pressure is still maintained mind.
