I didn't mean to hijack the thread. Here's why we need 5 tons of AC
Totally sealed room. No exhaust fan...no intake air.
5 non-air cooled 1000 watt lights (generate 15,000 btu's)
15 air cooled 1000 watt lights (not sure of btu's added, but they do add heat)
Grow is in Southern California (we have some 100 degree days)
Air conditioner and install was expensive (didn't want to do it twice)
We have room to add 10 more lights and want expandability.
I estimate we currently use between 70% and 80% of our cooling capacity. The large units are also very efficient. We are in an industrial park and cannot afford an odor problem. The sealed room also makes it very easy to keep the CO2 exactly 1200ppm all day long.
Again, sorry for the thread hijack. I do like the looks of those water cooled CO2 generators. Does anyone know how big of a water chiller would be needed to keep it cool?
