Does anybody know what size air-conditioner I need to cool a 10 x 10 x 7 room (700 cubic ft.) with 4 1000W lights? The rest of house is about 86 degrees to start with (at the time of night when lights are on, due to house walls radiating the heat theyâ??ve absorbed during the day). The lights are air-cooled, but still put off a good amount of heat anyway (a 750 cfm fan pulls air thru them, either fans getting old or the outside/intake air isn't cold enough).
I was going to buy a 9000 BTU portable unit, then realized I might be throwing the money away; it might not be big enough to cool the room. One website I saw had a calculator on it; it said for a room that size, if itâ??s a kitchen, 27000 BTU (which suck about 2700 watts) would be right. And thatâ??s not counting the heat from the semi-aircooled lights. Room currently has 90â??degree temps.
Has anybody ever cooled a similar setup?
