I have noticed that sometimes when the outtake is not blowing at the same speed as the intake then sometimes it will create "dead space".

Basically the outtake is trying to take out more air than it can put back into it and will become stagnant. Play around with the speeds and see what happens when the intake fan is removed

the intake is connected to a duct which brings in fresh air from outside
shit well i dont know how hot it is where you live but i wouls assume if your getting air from the outside it would make it about the same deg. outside. do you kinda understand what im saying lol
