Sweet setup-
Have you considered attaching your in-line fan to your out-take vent and pulling the air from the lights instead of blowing air through them? Some say it's much more efficient to pull air through the fans rather than pushing, other say pushing hot air through the unit lowers the lifespan of the fan- Any thoughts anyone?
Do you have a freshwater top-off rez attached to your UC system or are ya going w/out?
I am NOT an HVAC expert or have any training or real education on the matter. I did however research to the best of my ability on HVAC forums.
the inline fan pulls the air thru, you do this for a couple reasons; first, you need to match the airflow properly, 350 CFM per 1000w light. second, to get proper air flow thru a tube you must create a negative pressure, otherwise air being pushed into the hoods would be turbulent and not naturally flow around the lights (adding additional noise and temp). third, you want to position the inline fan halfway between the intake and exhaust to reduce noise levels.
Pushing hot air thru the inline fan could reduce its lifespan...however that is relative. Since my air intake is cool air (65 degrees or less), my exhaust temperature is not hot (80-85 degrees). I doubt that 80-85 degree temperature would negatively effect my inline fans shelf life. Now if the temperature was closer to 100+ degrees, that may be a different story (and/or a high humidity basement causing corrosion).
Yes, I have 2 - 55 gallon food grade plastic drums that are filled by a Stealth Reverse Osmosis 200 gallon per day with float valve. The drums have a pvc line that connects to a float valve in each system and it auto tops off each UC.
