Ok guys, I'm a jack of all trades like the rest of you. But I don't know a hell of alot about ac and ductwork and what not.
So here's the scenario. I want to connect the exhaust of my portable ac with the exhaust of my cool tubes. I know using a "Y" will accomplish this. However what I don't know is whether it will create a vacuum. I plan on having the fan for the cool tubes on a timer with the lights, but will the high cfm from a 6" fan cause a vacuum in the line coming off the portable ac?
I thought about installing a damper on the ac duct before the "Y" but I don't know if that would help with a vacuum situation.
If there is no way around it, I can run the two lines separate. I'm just trying to keep my ninja status and think having two ports coming out of my window would be a bit more eye raising than just the one I have now.
Thanks for any help!
