Recently had a couple growers that had been running an air handler and chilling their UC's with the same chiller. Which in theory is really cool and seems the only way to go in terms of efficiency.
Problem was they had their chillers fail (not Chillking's in either case) which caused their room and nutrient temps to spike above 95F for a prolonged period. In both cases it ended up cooking the roots and causing crop failure.
Do you have a strategy for someone doing this (chilling and air handling with the same chiller) to avoid catostrophic crop loss? I noticed a temp override you mentioned, how would a grower employ this in their grow for protection against this type of scenario?
