What size portable AC will I need to cool a sealed closet at 113 degrees. Thats with a 1000W HPS and no fans. Is 10,000 BTU's enough?
portables are garbage dont waste your money. get a window unit and build a box on the back side and run a 6" duct with a booster fan to pull the hot air form the back side of the ac out and exhaust it wherever you were going to exhaust yoru portable.
window is more efficient then portable
window does not leak smell like portable
window is cheaper then portable.
i'm not just talking out my ass just ran a 3k room with a portable and it was hell. buddy did the same sold it and got a window ac and temps dropped by 10 degrees. i'm doing the same right now. and again no smell issues!
good advice from exceptional.
straight dank..there's a really good tutorial on I C from hoosierdaddy that describes building an ac box in detail, you should check it out.
I'm not able to do any ducting or sheet rock removal to allow for the exhaust from a 10KBTU unit so my question changes slightly: Can I have a 10KBTU portable AC in a 3x7x8 closet or will its condensed air(exhaust) overpower the compressor thus causing the system to fail?
It's on here as well.
I am running a portable 1Ton LG I got from Homedepot in a 74sq' Sealed room with 2000W lights with no problem at all. I am not so sure that it pases smell due to that fact that I have been burning sulfur you you can not smell it outside the room.
It barley runs to keep the room at 78 and its been super hot here. But this is just my experience which is statistically invalid. Best of Luck!
Why are you burning sulfur?
