    Heat Exchangers

    heat exchangers are hugely more efficient than any other type , and dont require anywhere near as much power as ac units since you are only using a water pump , you could offcourse put your tank of water in some sort of refridgerator or in a seperate room or even outside like some commercial...

    Heat Exchangers

    it would be the same way as it works in a car, use a header tank ( a very large one) to give you a big volume of water run an outlet through a pump to your heat exchanger and back to the tank have your ducted air flowing through the cooled heat exchanger , i have been thinking of this too but i...

    Can fans "rumble" throughout the wall...how can i fix this?

    get a sort of foam padding its commonly used for sund dampening , mount that between the wall and the fans base your screws or bolts should use a big rubber/silicone washer or something that wont be rigid so it doesnt transmit noise very much or a better way but less tidy would be to put on...

    best way to cool 2 magnumxxxl's with 600w bulbs in tent ?

    will do man, yeh im thinking more an more of a seperate system for the lights , i think it would manage the temps better if i ducted the lights seperatly and this would mean my intake for fresh air would be constant instead of varying up an down according to the fan speed controller cheers :)

    best way to cool 2 magnumxxxl's with 600w bulbs in tent ?

    sounds good to me , another reason i went for 200mm fan instead of the 150 was increased air speed through the lights e.g. i would have 150mm coming from inside or outside the tent to the first light through the first light to the second light , through second light at which point i put a...
