Hello all.
I've been following a lot of exellent PC-builds here and built a 300W CLF growbox just for fun, havent posted that one yet. Now I want to build another one and this time something serious, something big.
Here are the specs
Chassi: Lian Li PC-V2100 Plus 2
210x617x650mm (WxHxD)
Light: 250W HPS with cooltube
32.000 Lumen
Fans:
2x Scythe Ultra Kaze 120mm 3000rpm
2x Zalman 80m 3000rpm
3x Noctua NF-P12 1200rpm
2x Noctua NF-R8 1800rpm
Here's a more detailed model of the inner workings:
Now most of you will probably say it's a bad idea or even impossible to cram a 250W HPS in a PC-Chassi, probably is. Though I believe it's possible and I'll definitely give this design a shot, let me break it down.
The design implements 3 different temperature-zones. First zone is the cooltube with a Noctua 80mm NF-R8 at one end and a airtube leading out to an unfiltered outlet with another NF-R8 at the end. The second zone is the top area of the growroom with the cooltube in it separated by a sheet of plexiglas. This zone has one 120mm NF-P12 at the top just next to the cooltube outlet letting air out in the back compartment. The third and final zone is the flower room, it has another 120mm NF-P12 letting air out into the back compartment. The back compartment has one huge carbon filter with either one or two Scythe Ultra Kaze sucking air out at 3000rpm, below is smaller dual Zalman 80mm carbon filter. One 120mm NF-P12 at the front intake blows air trough the front compartment.
The bottom chamber and the smaller carbon filer fans are controlled by an automated fan control reacting to temperature.
The Hydro setup will be an ebb and flow system and support 6 lowryder (3xLR2, 2xDieselR,1xEasyR) plants scroged in a mesh roughly 20cm over the plants. The plexiglas screen and cooltube are adjustable to many heights. Also all fans are hoked up to a manual fan controller, with a switch to give any fan automated or manual control.
So do you guy's think I can cool this thing and not barbecue those lowryders?
