Yes it did, but dry air is easier to cool. I can't say exactly how it affected the electrical efficiency but the overall effect was cooler temps along with drier air. It might be worth it to run the dehumidifier with the AC for a few hours to see how it affects temps and humidity since you already have the equipment.
Yea, I asked about that but it wasn't addressed. With a good exhaust fan and "freezing" room I would expect the tent temps to be lower than 90.
What size tent? And multiple tents or both fans in same tent?
Any device consuming electricity produces heat, 1 watt = 3.412142 BTU.
You want to exchange all the air in the tent every 2 minutes by math. Remember your filter has a different rating of air flow than the fan does. Try to let air in the bottom on one side and exhaust out the top on the opposite side aswell
I use a dehumidifier instead of heater, my heater and dehumidifier are the same wattage and they give of the same heat (see post # 11) the upside to the dehumidifier is it also takes care of the humidity.
That’s the reason for the AC. To cool and remove moisture from the air that is exhausted into the room from tent. So he needs to exchange tent air with conditioned air at a faster rate. Also portable AC’s are a poor choice but you use what you have. Exhausting the air outdoors would probably help to lower the load on the AC but he still needs more air exchanges in the tent.
