Very Interesting High Temps Solution.

*swoon* I heart girls who know their science.

Awwwwww thankx!

Now don't even get me started on the heat capacity of water and why a 'swamp cooler' works on the same principle... but oh so very much better!!!!

Oh fuckitall, here goes...

You can strip heat out of the air with cold water mist much better! Water has an extraordinary heat holding capacity, so if you introduce mist, allow it to heat up, and exhaust it from the room, you can strip a LOT of heat out FAST. We used to use this at a commercial greenhouse I worked at... HOWEVER your humidity goes through the fucking ROOF (duh!) and it's not practical for in-home setups or flowering plants.

We shouldn't be even trying during the summer, but we both thought, wtf, lets try anyway. So our temps shot up to about 35C. We've both got massive fans etc, he has a cooltube, I chopped off the room halfway up with a sheet of polythylene, but we realized that the problem is that if the air going in is warm already, you're screwed. We started philosophizing about different ways to cool things. Rating: 5
