It keeps internal corrosion down and adds life to your equipment. Plus the compressor will be installed in the grow room which will have higher humidity than average.

So your dryer removes vapor prior to the air entering the tank? Any equipment you can remotely utilize outside the room will lessen the heat within the room. I recommend keeping your ballasts, air compressor, and AC compressors all outside of the room in order to cut down on the electrical usage required to maintain room temps.

Outdoor is 21", indoor is 18". If you have a chamber made out of vaccuum panels you`ll need to cool the air and nutes as no point having a super insulated chamber if you`re adding heat with every pulse. The insulation works both ways, a thermos flask will keep things hot as well as cold ;)

The more I consider cooling methods the more I realize a water bath is necessary. Even with internal coils, if the nutes and air are not chilled I am directly spraying warm solution onto the roots themselves. Right now I am considering installing a coil in just in the floor and utilizing a waterbath for air and fluid.

Yes, the driers cool and dry the air prior to entering the receiver. The air compressor won't generate much if any heat as it won't have to cycle that much, not enough for me to really worry about. I'm not running any HID or HPS lights so there are not any ballasts to deal with. I can't really relocate the T5 ballasts. The only thing I will have out side the room is a small chiller.

The AC is a 18,200 BTU Split rated at 19.2 SEER in a 210 s/f room.. electrical usage shouldn't be much of an issue. I really only need about 8,000 BTU to cool the heat from the 2,000 or so watts that will be in the room.

That exact method has worked well in the aerolife boxes so far and is probably the simplest. I still just have to know why you didn't like the water bath idea, it sounded like you had a phobia or something- lol...

Gyro - It definitely tastes like basil.

Thump - I have nothing current to show as I don't grow in the summer. All the issues I was having earlier this season are posted in this thread.

PF - The bubbler idea is great for a hybrid system, perhaps in the future I may try it, but for now I am going to stick with straight Aero.

I will get some more pics this season and post them, after all, can one guy ever earn enough mardi gras beads?

It wouldnt take much to duct in outside air to supply the compressor but it`d be better to locate it outside the room. Water vapour removal isnt too critical for aero use as the solenoids and nozzles wont mind a bit of water. I get about a pint for every 4000 cubic feet with average humidity levels. Oil free compressors generally run hotter than oil lubricated, see if you can keep your hand on one of the heads after its been running for 2 minutes :)

u 2 AJ... Hope you saw some fireworks, we're lucky enough here to still have them legal for us to play around with, so we went to the beach... Some guys had some real serious stuff, mortars shooting way up in the sky, a huge bundle of roman candles gone off all at the same time- I was impressed! (No those kinds of fireworks aren't supposed to be used by the general public, but it sure was cool to watch) lol... :)
