Need help designing a FC...
    #10293501 -

Ok so i need to make a FC that stays around 55F so i can fruit some woodlovers...

Any ideas? i was thinking of an AC fan but that would bring in contams and i was going to get a temp controlled cooler but most just stay 40F below the ambient temp which is mid 70s so if anyone has any ideas postem and might just test it and let you know how it goes

Well, to cool said environment, you don't have to introduce the AC-cooled air directly into the chamber. Instead you could use some sort of Heat-Exchanger. Having an air conditioner blowing on your sealed terrarium should not introduce contaminates.


Or you could get a HEPA filter and jerry-rig it into fitting over the intake to your airconditioner. Or better yet havev the conditioned air be forced through the HEPA after it goes through.


If that is too hard, stick with the classic. Frozen water. lol.


make a tub in tub incubator, but instead of adding a water heater, add ice to it every fews hours. Or if you're a handy man, get a cooling coil from the AC unit under the water, to keep it cold.


OOOOORRRRR, probably the easiest. set up a basic water pumping system that will pump the water out of your Tub in Tub as bran new cold water from your pipes goes into the tub. You'd probably use a lot of water though unless you set it up right.


Honestly though, just run the AC in the room your chamber is in.



Highly Recommended: a minimum/maximum digital thermometer. Make sure it never gets too low or high.

actually slightly after posting this i thought about getting the biggest styrofoam cooler i can get put my FC chamber inside it cut a hole inside of the cooler and put the ac fan there and set it to 50 which should keep my chamber at the right temp without bringing in contams

thanks for the idea

minifridge? my first fc was a minifridge inorder to keep it hidden. worked just fine.

or

putting a hepa filter over the a/c intake might just stop airflow. i'd say cool the air, then pass it through a separate filter system(hepa filter with its own fan) then give it to the chamber. i definitally recommend cleaning the air after it goes through the a/c because of all the dust and stuff that gets into the system.

my old a/c had a thermistor(electronic temperature measuring thing) near the intake. if you moved that to inside your fc you could set the temp fairly well. but that would be pointless unless you can set the window units thermostat at the desired temp.

my guess would be use a mini fridge set to the temp u need and just keep the FC in there. but im not totally sure if that would work. i've never tried it. good luck man. :mushroom2:

I'm in the process of building a fairly large walk-in grow room underground.  The ground temp stays at a steady 55F once you get three to four feet down.  By using steel walls and floor, the ground will absorb the heat from pumping warmer air from above during air exchanges, and the reverse during winter.
