Hey everyone, happy new year.
I had a couple quick questions for you guys.
We're going to build a 6000W set up, split into two sides, each with 3 1000W HPS. We'll use 3 ballasts and a flip flop to save on equipment.
The lights will be in cooltubes, and air-cooled in a sealed system, separate from the rooms themselves.
Here's the idea
Each yellow square is 4' x 4'
1 - Air enters the flower rooms through filtered passive intakes not pictured.
2 - A fan in each room pulls air out through a carbon scrubber (like a can 66 or something) and exhausts into the "lung room" in front of the flower rooms.
3 - A fan (8" Vortex or something) pushes air through the ducting, cooling the lights. It pulls air directly from the "lung room", and exhausts into the house's forced air system, helping to heat the house. The lung room is fitted with a passive vent to allow air in if the cooltube fan needs more, or allow air out if the carbon scrubber fans are pushing too much in.
The questions are:
First, is an 8" fan overkill? Only 3 lights will be on at a time, but the ducting to both sides will always be open.
Second, do you guys think that these could work for the carbon scrubber fans? I think they would move enough air, and they're cheap.
