Cool. Ok, nice. But looking at the specs, it’s actually only really a 6000 BTU ac (Cooling Capacity (SACC) 6,000 BTU/hr). You have to go by the SACC number these days, (I think it’s also called DOE by some companies).
The second thing I see, based on the product pictures, is a cold side intake grill on the right side of the unit. That grill/intake is for the supply air for the cooling side. In this configuration it looks like it’s gonna take room air, pass over the cold coils, then push into the tent. But it doesn’t then leave the tent and go back to the cold side supply, which might be slightly more efficient.
But yea, you’ve essentially got a 6000 BTU ac. Also, portables are not very efficient by design (their function, and the fact that the hot side remains inside the room/home).
Yea. And there’s no issues with the plants that you notice. Odd to see that lst differential with led I think…
Damn! Two diablos at full power, 1400+ watts, in an 8 x 4 tent? No co2 or nothing either? Wow, what kind of ppfd at the canopy, man?
If you care to, have a look at that link I posted in my previous post about AC boxes. Also, this one is from a guy who used that thread to build his ac box for his tent LINK. These are just for an idea of how these things and setups work.
About SACC, and AC inefficiencies:
By the way, SACC only applies to portable ac units. There’s a midea model and an lg model I know of that are 12000 BTU SACC.
