so i understand the concept of how and why and with that being said my question is does anyone have any experience with modding a hood in this way and how does it perform compared to cool tube style and /or a hood that is intended for venting
thanx |
I have a have a sunsystem mini 250w hood+ballast setup that I modded to be air cooled. What I didn't have was a lens. I'm not sure how well I would have pulled the hot air out that way but I just used a hole saw from home depot (gotta be the ones made for metal) that is just a little bigger than 3 inches.
I cut a hole in the end and drilled 4 holes to support a 92mm PC type fan (it's a 70 CFM from a server). I figured I could also get a 3" duct starter from one of the hardware stores and make a flange from that if I wanted to duct it.
Like I said a lense may not be a good idea if you can't bring in fresh air. If you CAN bring in fresh air then it'd be great.
