I spent a good part of my day off calculating and observing the different temperature ranges that took place when I augmented different factors, like the closet doors being open or closed.
The tent is 1.7' x 3' x 5' and the closet is around 2' x 6' x 8'. The room it encompasses is around 110 sq. ft.
What I found with the first test was that with the doors wide open, the 6" Air King fan constantly blowing in on low, and the 4" inline fan exhaust running on medium and turned on every other 30 minutes, that temperatures would raise to a
high of 81.2 and low of 78. 8 degrees fahrenheit. A decent range within a given hour segment.
Another test showed that with everything staying the same as the previously mentioned test, but without the 6" Air King fan being powered on, that the range widened, showing a
high of 86.4 and low of 79.4 degrees fahrenheit. Again, this was recorded over a given hour.
The third test sort of surprised me but eventually made clear sense. Everything was the same as it was in test two, except I allowed the 4" inline fan, running on medium, to be kept powered on for an entire hour rather than 30min on/off/repeat. The range was most preferable, despite undesirable power consumption, among the tests with a
high of 80.4 and a low of 79.4 degrees fahrenheit.
The only issue I have with these scenarios is that the closet doors are wide open, exposing my entire setup and allowing the noise to affect the nearby surrounding (70 degree fahrenheit on the average). My solution is to crack the doors a little, in order for hot/cold air exchange to take place and to eliminate some of the DBs.
When considering power consumption, the first test proved most effective. The 6" fan, on low, operates at ~10W, while the inline fluctuates around 35W, on medium.
Anyhow, it was fun to do while watching my lady dance for me! She be getting her 'V' on for me if you what I be saying
