The humidity and dry heat really becomes an issue when the temperature differential of the replacement and exhausted air comes into play. 0F and 40% drops to about 2% at 80F.

Has anyone installed a tankless hot water heater/hot water baseboard heat, closed loop system with a total pipe run of under 20’? The hot water heater will be vented to the outside & in it’s own closet, separated from the growroom by an insulated wall with the baseboard heater in the growroom, approx 5’ from the tankless hot water heater. Would a 3 gallon capacity system be sufficient? Or less? On a limited budget. TIA

I never did that short of run
You are probably going to need to fill that system with glycol and run the pump continuously with the burner cycling for heat

Op, why not just turn off the intake fans when usin the tractor?
Then turn back on when fumes clear.
A radiant heater in the room around the grow might get it warm enough to be acceptable intake temperature.

It works for me, but it’s not that cold where I am.
