After lots of reading I fould a formula for heat transfer that I think will be helpful for alot of closet/stealth growers
The formula is: Q = V x P x C x dT where: Q = Amount of lighting (kW) V = Volume of air being ventilated (m3/s) P = Density of air (assume 1.2 kg/m3) C = Specific heat capacity of air (assume 1.02 kJ/kgK) dT = Temperature difference between ambient and growspace air in degC ***To get from CFM to m3/s divide the CFM by 2119. You can solve the equation for different things based on what your need... to find the temp change from outside the cabinet to inside dT=Q/(V x P x C) For my next grow room with a 400w light and 200cfm fan dT=.4/(.94x1.2x1.02) =.4/.257 =3.47+21c=24.47c or 76f to find approx the amount of vent you will need V = Q / (P x C x dT) to find the most lighting you can have Q = V x P x C x dT kinda cool...don't know how accurate it is real world tho try it with your own stats and see how close it comes |
