..And I’d love some help
‘Bout 2 weeks I’ll be in a rental house.. Been thru the crib a couple times and I haven’t gotten a thorough look at some things (circuit setup - I know its a 200 amp circuit.. I believe everything was 20+ amps with a few 40’s, hoping for some 240 V.)
My area is a room in the basement, separate from utilities and stuff. Laundry is on other side of the wall - hoping to tap into that circuit..
I will do whatever i need to get at least 3 20 amp runs into the room.
I will be flipping 2 sun huts (9.4 x 4.7 x 6.5) in a lung room using air exchange with outside air (winter in NJ is cold). Will probably throw up some studs and wrap in poly for lung walls, or just use the whole room as “lung”
Not sure how I’ll be running lights…:
- 1200 watts per tent @ 2x600 ea.
1800 watts per @ 3 x 600 ea.
or 2k per @ 2 x 1000 ea.
I am leaning towards 2 x 1000 watts in vertizontals in each tent.. using something like an air curtain btw canopy and hoods to keep things cool… I go back and forth btw the parabolic and air cooled… but I think with the amount of air movement I’m trying to utilize, heat will not be an issue.. Will go with dimmable ballasts just in case…. would love your opinions though.
The light setup can be determined over the next couple weeks, but for now I’d like to run my understanding of the lung room concept by you guys.
Intake will be active 6” fan on thermostat control… pulling outside air and dumping in the corner which is also where the tents will be dumping their hot air, and an oscillating fan will be mixing it and pushing it across the length of the lung.
Tents will intake from the opposite corner of the lung.. using an 8” inline, that splits to each tent.
Tents will exhaust thru separate 8” 720 CFM thru filters and into corner where cold air intake is.
The lung will be exhausted with a 12” 1700 CFM fan.. now I don’t know if I’ll have that running continuously or have that timed or on a dehumidistat.
Within tents, my goal is to have intake from lung dump into one corner, and blown up towards a pair of fans that will push the air over the canopy and under my lights, across to the tent exhaust.
Is my understanding sound?
