Ok, so I have got repeatedly lost during my HVAC plans, but am finally to the point of purchasing it all for the install.
I am trying to run an eventual 6 lights (4 1ks and 2 600s) on a closed system. I am buying all 8" hoods. To start we will have only one 600 and 2 1ks. We are going to be using 3 538 cmf fans (1 to start with). I went to an HVAC store today that usually only sells to installers and explained what we were doing. He admitted that the calculations were a little above him, but he ended up giving us a filtered 16x20 air return and proper reducers to take it down to 8" for intake and then just an 8" stove pipe type setup for the the exhaust.
I repeatedly tried to explain that I thought that we need a LARGER exhaust then we had for the intake. He didn't seem to think so.
1. Is that size of intake correct?
2. Is there a better method of exhaust?
3. Are we correct in thinking that we could have our first fan AFTER the first two lights and then essentially in line after every two after that? So pulling the air.
THANK YOU!!!
