4 tons 9k

[patrickkawi37]

i am over ducting . Too big of a pain in the ass cleaning taping and changing bulbs. But I have the old school raptors and once you remove the glass it's pretty much a done deal. I don't want to do it unless I'm sure my Ac can pull it because It would be a bitch to get back on. Question is will two 2 ton mini splits do 9k non air cooled . 2 of these lamps will be double ended fixtures. Tanks not a burner in there

Outside temps play a big part, in texas it's probably not enough but up north you would probably be fine..

Ballast in room?

Yeah unfortunately

Sealed room but yeah the Acs have the outdoor units . I have them under a covered space in the shade and am running at night time. Still hot as fuck though

 

[ODanksta]

Yeah Im setting up a garage with 10k on sunday, not sure what I am using yet.. I might just go with 2 24btu window units..

 

[patrickkawi37]

If your air cooling the hoods that'll work. Get mini splits!

 

[Carolina Dream'n]

It won't work. I'd go wit two 36k

I already have two 24k btu installed and running. I've been running 6 aircooled 3 not aircooled with no problems . I'm taking the glass off and if it doesn't work I'll put the glass back on 3. I got the gavita and nanolux hooked up and I'm already thinking how to reconfigure the entire room. These things are bright as fuck . I shoulda just got a 5 ton from the start and called it good

Room is running 78-80 both acs wide open, and the dehu on. I am going to run it for this batch. If I don't get a better yield I will go back to air cooling the 6 raptors next run .

Sounds good, other than not being able to drop temps the last week or so they should do the job.

I think I will dim 3 or so of them down the last week so I can drop temps .

 

[patrickkawi37]

Lol all the headaches for nothing. I cleaned the Ac filters and the dehu filters so everything is running efficient. I can get the room down to 74 and everything is on and turned all the way up. I'm pretty stoked, if the new de fixtures do better I will swap out a few more next run now that I have some room with the temps

for future referrence
for every 1000 watts open you need 3.000 btu cooling
for closed it's 4,000 btu per 1000 watts

Lol so 3 ton will do 9 lights non air cooled? Wrong. I couldn't get a 3 ton to do 6 aircooled
And 3 non .

 

[patrickkawi37]

5000 btu per non aircooled 3000-4000 depending on efficiency when air cooling

it was late, I typed it backwards, it's 4000 for open and 3000 for closed.

4k open means that 36k btu will do 9 lights non air cooled. Wrong

 

[Carolina Dream'n]

1 ton per 2 1000s is what I have always followed.

 

[a mongo frog]

4k open means that 36k btu will do 9 lights non air cooled. Wrong

Yes, thats what I've been told. 6k btu per non air cooled.
