venting exhaust under bathroom door?

[SensimillaWolf]

Im setting up a 400w in a spare bathroom, maybe in the shower. The shower is basically a 2.5'x3'x 6' space with walls I cannot penetrate, as they are either made of glass or tile. There is a foot of vertical space above the shower, I will be setting up my cooltube to a stanley blower, and ducting the exhaust elsewhere.

My question is, since I cant cut any walls, since I'm renting, and I cant vent out the window due to pedestrian traffic, and theres no bathroom fan in place... what can I do?

The space under the door seems large. At least 1 to 1.5 inches by 18-20". I might be able to rig the ducting to vent under the door.

It would be the 400w and ballast producing the heat in a room normally cooled to 78 deg through cental air.

Does anyone think this can work, or am I going to have to drag frozen 2L bottles in and out every day?

Just vent out the window... if they even care they'll probably assume its a portable a/c... if you do that you should be aight... if you do decide to freeze 2L be careful to not overfill them Bathroom's are a bad idea though... inspections?

Take off the bathroom door. Store it flat under your bed so that it doesn't warp. Install a new $20 door from Lowes. Cut away!

Excellent! If a cheap ass door is only $20 I could afford it... not to mention cutting straight through would take all the curves out of my exhaust line. As soon as you suggested it a perfect design just popped into my head. Only disadvantage is that it brings my exhaust line right in my walking space. thanks ICmag

Brilliant. Not in the British sense but, actually and literally brilliant.

Where are your intake vents??

you can intake through the bottom of the door, and exhaust through (a hole) in the top of the door.

My plan is to leave the other end of the cooltube open. If this is not sufficient I could pull air from the central air vent into the bathroom, across the light, past the fan and out the front door.

I wont be able to cover the noise of the fan easily. If the landlord gives notice its shutdown time anyway.
