Cooling Hoods?

Discussion in 'Grow Room Design/Setup' started by Grandaddy Purp, Nov 3, 2010.

  1. Should I use a exhaust fan to cool the hoods? Or should I use a intake fan?

    If a have four hoods with 600w HPS bulbs that are arranged in a square pattern. I would like to use my exhaust fan but since the hoods are in a square there would be a few bends in the ducting that seem like they would cause a lose of airflow. I also dont know how I would hook up a carbon filter to it. And if I use a intake fan then I would think that the air coming out would be too hot to keep the room cool.

    Do I need to look at getting a third fan that will be used solely for cooling my lights? Or is there a easier/cheaper way for cooling those bastards? ​
     
  2. I'd use one fan per two lights.

    And one fan just to exchange grow space air.

    Three fans

    don't go cheap. You will regret it
     
  3. What type of fan? What range of CFM?

    What do you mean by exchange grow space air?

    2400 watts and you want to know what exchange of grow space air means??

    That's alot of juice. Maybe you should start from the beginning.
     



  5. Lol ive been doing my research for awhile pal.. But the way you worded it made me think that you could of ment a few things.

    Are you talking about having normal fans that circulate the air inside of the room? Having an inline fan that sucks the air out of the room? Or what exactly?
     
  6. Not your pal

    exchange= replace

    blowing air around a room= circulating

    2400 watts and you don't have basic concepts.

    Good luck
     
  7. lol well fuck you too pal...
