Will This Be Sufficient For Co2 ?

I just started trying out vert and gonna do a vert scrog

Temps are under control by my a.c

I live in a trailer and have a good 2 1/2 to 3 ft underneath , I put my 240 cfm inline duct fan threw the floor ( with a screen so bugs dont get sucked in )

But the 240 fan is sucking in fresh air from underneath my trailer and into my closet

Even though the air is coming from underneath my trailer i would assume its still technically fresh outside air since my trailer has the plastic side paneling that has the graded style panels every so many feet

So will this be enough to provide my girls with Co2 ?

If so i have some ducting connected to it , should i just let it blow straight up , or should i elbow so it will blow across the floor , or pull the ducting higher up then elbow it

I just dont want it to conflict with the a.c air ( which i have a piece of ducting rigged to blow the air straight down )

My closet is 5ft long 2ft wide , 7ft high ( but i wont be growing my girls that tall )

Thanks in advance fellas

If i am understand it right ,you have a sealed chamber with a passive intake and no output.If you wan to supply enough Co2 (AIR)to your girl's
you have to exchange it ,but this will enter in conflict with your A/C.As i see it you have 2 option.
1.Seal your room and add Co2 generator and controler or timer(way less accurate but cheaper)
2.Exchange air in room and cancel A/C(room will be cooled by air exchange "new Co2").

Reverse the flow of air through the duct. Pull air out of the space every few hours and you should have enough fresh air in there. Put the open end of the duct near the ceiling to catch any hot stale air. Leave a window somewhere cracked slightly or punch another hole through the floor to let the fresh air in. By pulling air out rather than pushing air in, you are creating a negative pressure which will ensure fresh air is pulled in through the passive intake (ie the cracked window or another hole in the grow space). Make sure the end of the duct pulling air out is as far as possible from the intake, so that is why you place the end of the duct at the ceiling and the intake is near or in the floor. Hook the exhaust fan up to a timer set to 15 minutes on every 2-3 hours, or more or less often, depending on how hot it gets in there. With your A/C on it shouldn't need to exhaust too often. Just cycle the air enough for the plants to get fresh air every few hours.

What wattage bulb are you using?

Add filters... a screen isnt going to cut it. Turn off your AC if youre gonna suck it out. Get your room working properly before you upgrade.
Peace
