Can someone teach me venting in a nutshell?

[DOZEE]

I have 2600 w i want to run in a 10 x 10x 8 room...
should i just tur one light off 2 on?
what venting methods should i use? tems are realy high now had to take a light out :(

First you go to the back door, sling it open, take a deep breath and scream to the top of your lungs. Inhale and smile. You should feel much better now.


hehehehe sorry Dozee, I couldn't resist. Maybe I need to vent ;).

how do you have your fan setup now?
them damn 1kws can get a whole place hot lol.

Aircooled reflectors will take the heat caused be the light away.Kinda pricey though,but might be worth the investment to have that other light.Peace GS

A 265 cfm squirrel fan for $50 - 75 sounds like what you need.

i have 265 cfm centerfugel fan with filter...
mabe i need to move them around to get better air movement..

how big is your intake
into room ?

[DOZEE]

door is open, but the trys are covers with tarp..
just remidyed the problem . im sucking air through the heating duct that i took apart to get cool air from basemet..
Also added ioniser with the use of a filter and the house smell great.

lts post was funny :-)
yeah mine is suxxors.
why not get one a can for intake and out take and a ionizer like "Ds"
for when you shut off the fans. then place ona blocks round the house. peace

Sounds like a restriction in the line may be lowering the air-flow.

DOZEE the basic rule of thumb when venting a space is you need to turn the air over 3 times.your case as example your space 10 x 10 x 8 = 800sf.............. 800 x 3 =2400 is the ideal cfm`s from fans that you need.with just 1 265cfm fan you fall way short of the goal for ideal.i know that the 265 can type are said to move about the same as a 465 sq. cage fan.but evan at that you still fall short.
i`m putting together a side by side test of 2 sq. cage fans to post later this week.but i can say from what i tested the cheap(about $34) stanley fan from wallyworld,is going to be the better value.its loud but a duct mufler would help that.

peace
