Dehumidifier Heat

install a real co2 system, not a home made one. you need high co2 reading to support high heat. I run 88-93* in my sealed room with a 14k btu a/c, 70pint deheuy, and 1200ppm co2 weeks 3-7, 600 wks 1,2,8,9. you'll be lucky to get over 500ppm with a home made co2 kit. ambient co2 is about 380-450ppm naturally, +50-100ppm if you live by freeways or industrial areas.

only partial fix I can offer would be to exhaust the air from the dehumidifier fan out of the room… otherwise you're just recirculating hot air into the room.
I realize that this is an old thread, but that doesn't stop it from coming up in search results that someone may see, read and, god forbid, actually follow for advice. Are you seriously suggesting dehumidifying the air and then sending it out the f'ing window? It's not some magic vacuum that selectively plucks water molecules from your air. By blowing the "hot" air out of the room you are just using it as the least efficient exhaust fan ever.

I see it is a old thread also ,I agree U can't exhaust the hot air out of a tent as that hot air is the dehumidified air ,there is no point using a dehumidifier at all

what do you think of me just venting out the dehumidified air which is the heat source........i understand what you're saying, but the dehumidifier inside is drying the air specifically in the tent.......putting it outside will have a higher humidity from the whole enclosed garage.....dont you think so?
Yeah old thread, but that wont work, the heat is the dry air, like running AC with front door open.
 
ok here is what you do . hook the dehumidifier half way In the tent half way out. so basically it will suck the humid air up from the tent and blow the hot air out not into the tent . this will work . I have done this in the past. or hook up a tube to the vent and shoot hot air out can use duct tape and cardboard if you need to . trust me it works .
i no it is a old post ,i hope no one listens to what u are saying ,u must not understand how a dehumidifier works ,google it u want the warm air that is the air with the moisture sucked out of it.
