Portable AC intake from in tent vs outside?

[UberPooner]

Hey all!

I was wondering what the advantage was with having the intake port sucking from outside the tent?

Currently I have it sucking from within and only the exhaust being vented out of the tent. My logic was that if it sucked in the colder air from within the tent it would take less energy to cool down that air and since I have some vents on my tent it will also suck in some fresh air.


I have this question because almost every setup and recommendation I see, it suggested having both exhaust and intake pulling/sucking from the outside of the tent.

What do you guys think?

Would I benefit more from having intake outside of tent?

**This is not a sealed room. I am using an aircooled hood with a dedicated inline fan only for the hood.

**also please feel free to tell me how dumb i am for my logic, it was not researched it was just 'felt out'

Thanks

you have a dual hose portable or a single hose?

Benefit is it brings more fresh cool air in. As opposed to warm air coming in thru vents

If it was my tent I would intake from outside and exhaust through lights and out for optimal efficiency.
