AAAARRGGHH!!! I DONT UNDERSTAND!
Well, these first two holes I can cover up with a casing quite nicely, but a third one in that small old built in closet is gonna start looking pretty suspicious...So Ill have to do it on the opposite wall, which leads into a 10" gap between the closet wall and the bathroom wall.
But its the last hole I dare make I think, so I really need to know where to punch it, what height etc. Do you have fans in all the openings in your diagram?
Btw, thanks so much for taking the time :)
AAAARRGGHH!!! I DONT UNDERSTAND!
faithless,The fans I drew are whatI have. I have little oscillating fans inside the room, but those are beside the point. What hole are you gonna punch? Can you draw a pic of what you plan on dopinw...kinda like mine?
AAAARRGGHH!!! I DONT UNDERSTAND!
you might try settin up your fan to "push" air thru the cooltube, then straight out the wall.
AAAARRGGHH!!! I DONT UNDERSTAND!
i suggest staying away from those inline duct fans. They suck ass at pulling air long distances. You need a inline centfirgual fan. Check em out...
AAAARRGGHH!!! I DONT UNDERSTAND!
I use Vortex. Faithless, the fan in the little pic i have drawnmost recently is a 4" vortex and the one hooked up to the light is a 6" vortex.

Yeah, Im think of punching it halfway down and on the opposite wall, where the diagram shows "New Exit". That way I have 2 exits, one midway and one higher up to experiment with. I guess I'll have to find out through trial and error which exit will work best for the Cooltube exit and which one will work best for ambient temps exhaust?
Will I need another similiarly sized fan for the ambient temps exhaust? Cos they're pretty loud and expensive...:(
About its capacity...any stronger than that and my coats hanging in the hall where it exits will start flapping. Theres a lot of air being pumped out...
AAAARRGGHH!!! I DONT UNDERSTAND!
With the lower exit hole I could try your method.

Another thing that might help is putting a little tower fan($20) right in front of the intake to suck air in and force the cool air up to force the hot air away fro the plants. In my set up I have a regular old bathroom exhaust fan to suck air out and started with 4 4" air intakes. The temp was too high so I cut 7 more intakes and the temp didn't change. The problem was that the air needed to be circulating around the room and a little tower fan in the corner droped my temp by 10 degrees.
If I were you I would put the new exit in with a fan to suck out the air. I read somewhere that every 90 degree turnin tubing causes you to lose 1/4 air flow, so you are running at half with the 2 turns compared to a strait tube. If it is flexible maybe straiten it out so it runs at an angle from fan to exhaust with as few turns as possible.

=I would get another fan. Have a dedicated room ehxaust and havew a dedicated lamp cooler. Try a fan in the room. Look into a Vortex fan, or something simlar. Id put that fan you have now as my room exhaust, and invest a little into a larger cetri fan and hook that up to your lights.
AAAARRGGHH!!! I DONT UNDERSTAND!
try a few thing and let us know what happenin.
