Yea maybe you are right. The AC though would be behind that wall in the left cab with a "box" on the back just pulling air out the very rear to exhaust out the top. The box and AC both would still be in the cab. The AC would dehumidify but i dont want to cool the cab toomuch and feel i would do so if i were to kick it off it whenever my humidity went over 50%. The water chillerr i think i will still need. I plan on going DWC i think and will use it to keep my res temps perfect.
And you are right, i may not even need any of this. I should wait and see. Thanks for your input and keeping my best interest in mind.
If i do need something additional, I am leaning towards creating my own thermoelectic cooler and dehumidifier and keeping the dual cab design instead of adding a third...
I just wanted to exhaust the cab a little as possible for stealth reasons and the CO2.
After i did some CO2 waste calculations and hearing how quiet the exhaust is I am less worried. I could run the exhaust for 1 min every 15 min and a 20lb tank would last me 84 days. I don't see i will need to exhaust anymore than once every 1-3 hours in reality at most to keep humidity and temps in check. So I could potentailly get 4 flowering cycles out of a 20lb tank.
here are my CO2 calculations...
Grow room area: 36 cubic feet
Amount of CO2 required: 0.0432 cubic feet
On time: 0.65 minutes
At this flow rate:
If you are using a 20 pound CO2 bottle with a regulator, it will last 43.7 hours.
flow setting 4
4 times an hour
12 hours on
48 cO2 cycles at .65 min
48 * .65 = 31.2 min a day
C02 tank will last 43.7 hours or 2622 min
using 31.2 min a day
2622/31.22 = 84
20 lb Co2 tank will last 84 days of usage if I recycle my air every 15 min (this is worst case scenerio, and i will not need to do this)
