Heat Exchanger Grow Room

Probably 200 or so.

Heat exchanger grow room. However to remove the heat produced by a single 600w 1000w bulb you will need to either daisy chain 2 of them together or purchase an 8 ice box instead. If your grow room is 6 feet wide 6 feet long and has an 8 foot ceiling you have 288 cubic feet of air in the room 6x6x8 288. Units of this type are expensive but use very little interior space and can be installed without damaging or modifying your room. This is useful to control rh and thus reduce potential for powdery mildew and related problems.

It exhausts stale air outdoors and draws in fresh filtered and conditioned air to replace it while the intake and extract airflows are fully separated. Coolant is piped to a wall mounted heat exchanger and fan located inside your grow room. The colder the better. The hot saturated air is being pushed trough the pvc pipe in the other direction to leave the room.

Also keep your reservoir below 50f. It can be done and it is pretty slick but its expensive you would have to have a seperate geo thermal heat pump for the grow room. If you have no heat coming into room. I would however run a sepperate ground loop of pex that terminates in the grow room.

So if your blower is rated at 265 cfm and it has no restrictions on the intake or exhaust side it should take about a minute to replace all the air. With this system you can do away with your in and out ducting and keep everything but the water chiller inside the garden. Benefits of a heater for the grow room or tent great for heating your room when the temperature fluctuates too much. A good use for hot water would be to heat your grow room at night.

For that size grow it jsut doesn t pencil out as you only need a 12k or 18k mini split. The ice box is a water cooled heat exchanger that can be used to cool the hot air generated by your lights. The cold fresh air is being pushed trough the aluminum pipe to entering the room. The air heat exchanger consists mainly of an aluminum pipe made from soda cans that sits inside a wider pvc pipe.

Perfect for maintaining a constant temperature when using led in the grow room or tent around 80 85 degree fahrenheit.
