Cool... let's muddle through this bro. Maybe it will help others.
Can you at least install it? What happens, what doesn't?
It downloads but then the phone can't find it

Are you rubbing air cooled lights? I'm trying to figure out how to seek some rooms up with my limited power. I'm trying to run 2 12k rooms on different light cycles, all the bells and whistles, fans, pumps yada yada yada and only have 140 amps to play with. Do you know off hand what kind of amperage draw say a 5 ton unit would draw ?You'll need to separate your water droplets from your outgoing air, but yes. It really IS that simple. If your cooling system water is 60f, your humidity at 80f air temp will be about 70%. Perfect. Colder water will reduce dewpoint, and therefore RH.
Yes, it really is that simple. Simple and EFFICIENT. How efficient? My 2 Ton chiller keeps up with 16kW of bloom lights, AND dehueys as per the example above, AND cools all my RDWC. I know a lot of hvac professionals- on this site- who will sell you four times that much capacity in AC for the same job- and it won't work as well.
Between lights @ 60 amps and a 5 ton unit at around 35 amps you'll have plenty of power left for the rest of your equipment. With good electric ballasts you can get that power usage down below 50 amps for the lights. I believe Tty will confirm you can run less than 5 tones of chilling if you're using vented hoods. And if you're in Kitsap County WA and need an electrician I would love to wire your room ;-}Are you rubbing air cooled lights?

It seems there's no way to draw with Sketchup on tablets -- you can only display drawings. There are lots of people complaining about this so hopefully google does something about it sooner than later. Do you have a laptop or desktop?

I'm going to summarize here how I get 2 tons of chilling to go so far:
Great Tty - that explanation clears up a few lingering questions I had on your set up. What I want to figure out now is how to automate and time valve switching for each cooling loop. Do you do this?
Hee hee hee... no, I don't. That just made things a whole lot simpler, didn't it?
I also heard people put copper in the bulkhead at the bucket to prevent plugging of tubing.
Great stuff, any advice on how to diy a cool coil? I noticed you use 3/8" copper tubing for chilling the rwdc. Is this a special copper tube, or any different from the coiled copper tubing you can buy at casa depot? Would copper be favored over stainless? Also, where'd you get that manifold?
Ok I just have kinda skimed through this. I don't know much about chilling. I bought a smaller chiller years ago, and treid useing it, but learned real fast that you gotta go big or go home with chillers.
So my question now is, are you guys talking about useing ground water to chill the lights. Like hooking your lights up to a well?
If so what do you do with the excess water, after it's pumped through the lights and is warm.
I probably have a million question. But Ill go one at a time.
Thanks forthe info, I'm gonna do more research, 35 amps is workable, I have gas so I could just use gas for heaters for lights out.
