I want to, but I just have too many other irons in the fire.Raspberry Pi
I'll test that!I've been working with the RPi, I'd like to make an open source hydro controller design, hardware and software.
Nah, they got cooked with way high nute strength early, fucked up my ratios. They did bounce back okay, but this run is not gonna be one for the books, more like how well these lights let you get back on the fairway after screwing the pooch real good. I think 'forgiveness', aka fault tolerance, is a very desirable trait and this tech has it in spades.45 days they look really good<,-----------
could you mention how many watts of cob you are using in the same area as
how many watts of HID?
Correct. 2700W actual draw per side, 900W per 24 sq ft trellis.Think he said 2700 watts x2.
It's a hot water tank with a water to water heat exchange coil and natural gas backup.Catching up on the thread, nice work. Does your chiller have sidearm circuit for domestic hot water to or just baseboard heat?
So you can actually draw water from the unit for say a shower? More accurately it has the capacity to do this without "costing" extra energy?It's a hot water tank with a water to water heat exchange coil and natural gas backup.
I'm not sure I'll need the water to be more than 110F to do what I need it to do around the house and grow, and they said it would run that warm, provided there was sufficient heat to remove from the cooling circuit.
The chiller has a capacity of 5 Tons of chilling- and 7.5 Tons of hydronic heating! Each circuit is separate and closed loop.So you can actually draw water from the unit for say a shower? More accurately it has the capacity to do this without "costing" extra energy?
That's what I was hoping I didn't see any brand or model info, but any chance you'd share? I saw the cost.The chiller has a capacity of 5 Tons of chilling- and 7.5 Tons of hydronic heating! Each circuit is separate and closed loop.
It isn't costing extra power, the heat is being removed from the cooling side. Instead of being blowing directly into the air outside, it hearts a hot water circuit first. Excess heat beyond that needed to heat the hot side water circuit is rejected into the atmosphere conventionally. It's a fuckin sick setup.

I have little need to store heat since I'm making more all the time in my grow room. It's a matter of moving heat from where it isn't desired to where it is. The chiller's job is merely to move that excess heat up the temperature gradient, thereby making it more accessible for use.Thanks, food for thought or more my reason for asking wouldn't it be nice to cool your house in the summer, store the heat in geothermal well or cistern?
I AM going all COB, and I'm comforted by the knowledge that they're 'only' 56% efficient yet; that other 44% will be plenty to keep me warm in a Colorado cold snap!You might if you go all cob!
I have 4 or 5 week to go on this horizontal grow, then ill be setting my room up to go vert! Looking forward to a change in tacticsI'll test that!
Due to certain constraints there is no possibility of a garden of mine needing 5ton cooling but a 2ton unit instead of ac plus zoneing units can be remote and ductless......I AM going all COB, and I'm comforted by the knowledge that they're 'only' 56% efficient yet; that other 44% will be plenty to keep me warm in a Colorado cold snap!
I figured as much!Chillking brand, custom build.
I'll show it off when it gets here.I figured as much!
The way you kept describing it, and the 10% more work the thing will do, had me guessing it was a chillking unit.
Awesome, can't wait to hear how it does.
Keep it up buddy
I'll show it off when it gets here.
Considering that it's the new home heating plant for the foreseeable future, I felt it was a solid investment.I almost bought one myself, lol.
Can't justify it yet though.... Soon enough, soon enough
