I wanna change out my airstones next round thou and for my other room now what are the airlines all about and your diffusers and how and where did u install them I don't quite understand the clip zip tie thing u showed can u ellaborate before those bad boys get to big?
Using zip tie anchors to hold your air stones in place was just hypothetical. I don't use them. When I first ran the Under Current, I ran it with the air stones it came with and placed them in the center of the buckets at the bottom. bd
Hi there Ben, very nice work. What brand dehumidifier do you have in there?
Thanks!
I use Phoenix dehumidifiers. They are the 200 HT models. These particular models will remove a maximum of 32 gallons a day at saturation and come with a condensate pump. They are not cheap... In the range of $2,500 each but, well worth it for me. bd
If the chiller is capable of cooling say, 500 gallons, but you're only cooling the water in the cool coil lines and a 15 gallon reservoir, he's only cooling about 20 gallons of water with a chiller capable of cooling 500 gallons.....
I don't see the logic in this, and am trying to get a better understanding of why he would need such a large chiller to cool such little amounts of water.....
Say you have TWO SYSTEMS, same room, different chillers.
(1)One is a UCXL16, chiller+cool coil combo.
(2)the other is a UCXL16, chiller+cool coil combo.
The first system (1) has a 1/2 hp chiller.
The second system (2) has a 2 hp chiller.
They're both going to cool the coils (closed circuit, 20,30,40,50 gallons), and once they do, both coils will draw heat out just as efficiently..
SO WHY THE 2HP CHILLER? It's not going to take 2HP worth of chilling power to cool the amount of water in the closed circuit...
Edit: I dont mean to hi-jack the thread, either!! Sorry!
HaHa! No worries...
I will say this though....
There is something that you haven't considered... Power consumption. The smaller chiller will be running more and in turn using more power. Not only that, it will also put off more heat. If it is set outside then this shouldn't be an issue but, if it is located inside of the building, it will be. Also take into account that I am chilling near 800 gallons. Not 20 like you mentioned before. bd
