AC and fresh air into the room question

Im trying to figure out how much fresh air a 12000btu aircon will bring into the grow room, lets say the aircon runs for an hour how much air will be blown into the room from outside?

The reason for my question, im trying to avoid having to build another air intake in the room. If the AC wil bring in enough fresh air on its own. The aircon will run 12 hours and then just come on every hour after that for a few minutes during the dark cycle to bring in fresh air.

I understand that aircons will differ from each other, im just looking for a general guide or for someone who runs their air intake solely from the AC to give me some advice or ideas.

As it is currently running it feels as if its blowing plenty air out of it if i compare to my extractor fans but i remember when i installed it there were two thin pipes and i cant imagine them being able to bring in so much air. maybe im missing something here or havent done enough research. But anyone with info please take the time to explain!
