How can I improve this DESIGN???

[pftek]

I wish I could just see other grow rooms. UGH!

But let me know if I can do anything to improve it.

Basically I have 1 room growing and a second room where I put the fans and ballasts.

The problem is I don't like this circular design. I dont think it removes heat from the lights well.

My apologies for so many questions, but for a better understanding, what is your:

Room dimensions?

Number and wattages of lights?

Size/area of intake and exhaust ports?

Size and rated speed of your fan?

Is it a closed loop for just the lights?

These are just a few of the varialbles that come into play for most any effecient ventilation system. If you could give a few more details, most here are happy to help!

You would want a gently curving duct on that 180 degree turn for one thing.

agreed, the less angles and valleys the better. if you are trying to keep the lights contained and sealed (as it looks), then you might want to try running 2 separate lines straight across (in one side and out the opposite wall). if this isn't going to work for you, and you have to exhaust out the wall you are coming in thru, then yea you are going to need a curve ;\ but don't fret. go buy an 8" inline duct booster fan, pop her in the middle of the 180* turn, and this will help straighten out the airflow. if you are using 6" ducting i would still recommend getting an 8" fan, 6" cfm wont cut it for 4 lights and a curve, just get two 6"-8" couplers to fit on either end of the booster fan.

good luck!
