fan in grow room
    #16180555 - 05/04/12 06:28 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

ok im not trying to flame you its a common thing about people saying it good for fans in a grow room
a fan wont do anything to a fc and it will also help to disperse contams around the room

people have this ides that a fan in the room will help with FEA
did you guys miss out on your 8th grade science

to explain
you have your FC sitting in a room
both the room and box have the same pressure
the only way to put air into that box is to raise of lower the pressure inside it
a fan will not rais or lower pressure it will just blow the air around

why a sgfc of monotub works is because of wholes and the placement
its been a rumor the co2 is not heavier then o2
well shut up your dumb
co2 and o2 are the same thing except for co2 has a carbon molecule  added on thus making it heavier then o2
now when heavier co2 sinks it will go out the bottom whole thus making the pressure in the fc lower then the room
then the fc will equal the pressure out by bringer in air from the top wholes

ive had many people disagree with me on this and i dont care
if you want to say im wrong then go back to high school and take a science class

yes finally someone tries to prove me wrong
im more or less trying to get the wrong information off the site before it spreads like a disease


heres a chart to prove it


not trying to flame ya but its a little common sense just like warm and cold air
clod air is more dense and heavier then warm less dense air therefore hot air rises
and anything that heavier will always fall lower then things lighter then is
common physics law

if co2 was not heavier and did not fall lower then all you monotubs and sgfc would not work

If this was how the SGFC worked the co2 would be taking with it moisture from the perlite as it 'drops through' it, while at the same time drawing in drier air from the outside, thus drying out the chamber.

The substrates in the FC give off heat which then rises causing a subtle pressure differential which then draws in air through the perlite, and increasing the humidity in the chamber.

A fan running in the same room could counteract this "subtle pressure differential" causing it to be less effective.

As far as I know, no one has said that co2 is not heavier than o2, just that your wrong in your belief as to how the SGFC works.

OP, you should take AP Chem next year, you'll spend several weeks on gas laws, including gaseous diffusion.
You really need Calc 1&2 to get the full benefit, but even with your math skills you should be able to understand.

CO2 does not settle out of room air. In the specific case of mushroom cultivation, it rises.
How can that be? The carbon dioxide is created as a waste product.
Fungal metabolic activity produces CO2, water, and heat. The waste heat is carried away by the waste gases.
The warm carbon dioxide, being warmer than room air (if only marginally) rises, as does any gas which is warmer than the gas surrounding it.
Same idea as a hot air balloon, which you probably studied in that 8th grade science class you mentioned.

:facepalm:

Wrong.  CO2 is not like water which remains separate from air and will drain out the bottom.  The CO2 MIXES WITH THE AIR, thus does not 'leak out the bottom'.

Before you tell us to go to science class(I have two engineering degrees-do you?), you should go back to second grade to learn the difference between a whole and a hole.

I only have one engineering degree. :frown:
I did the work for a Master's but didn't get a piece of paper that says so. :sad:

But gaseous diffusion is high school stuff, if you are in the smart classes.

funny you say that
i was actual a math major in college

engineering degree in what i would like to know?
yes i cant spell

but neither of you have explained why co2 will no sink
yes it rise from heat but will then still settle lower once cooled of

co2 does mix with air when outside not in a box
it will mix from winds moving it all around
in a box where air is not moving the co2 will sink lower

Bachelor's of Science, Computer Science. Software Engineering. Did the work for a Master's in the same topic.

If CO2 settled out of air, you couldn't sleep on the floor. Death Valley would be uninhabitable.
Carbon dioxide does not settle out of air. It stays mixed due to gas diffusion.
It rises in the specific case of mushroom cultivation. Once it cools to ambient temp, it says mixed with the air, again because of gas diffusion.

I don't believe you're a math major.
I don't believe you could get accepted to college unless your mom filled out the forms for you. :shrug:

Funny you should mention that.
Small animals shouldn't be left on the floor when playing with large amounts of dry ice, because the C02 can sink to the floor and suffocate them.  Due to the cold temp of course.
Certain lakes have been known to burp large amounts of CO2 which crawls over the land (due to it's temp I believe) killing whole towns in their sleep.

Gasses certainly can settle based on molecular weight, but that's not what's going on here.

The heat of the substrate causes pressure to elevate in the fc, resulting in it naturally wanting to equalize in my understanding, while the warmer higher pressure air combined with the co2 rises and escapes through the holes in the top, it pulls in air through the bottom of the tub which has moist perlite at a slightly less temperature causing it to be somewhat lower in pressure.

Thus pulling in air up and thru the perlite and mixing with the warmer air and co2 given off from the substrate to repeat the cycle.... At least this makes sense in my head, correct me if i'm wrong, i'm no engineer or chem major, but i did take AP chemistry in high school (8years ago)

So having a fan in the room, moving air or "winds" as you call them, will cause AE.
Therefore, a fan in the running in the room, will suffice, as long as the monotub is dialed in properly, for FAE.

You keep stating that this is simple physics, well it is.
You're basically telling us that our forced air furnace blowers don't circulate air in our houses.

Also, we know you can't spell. You misspelled "FAE" in the OP.

Pics speak a thousand words:
This set up (notice the small desk fan pointing at the tubs):

Temperature affects gas density. It's part of this "gas law" stuff I keep talking about.
It's not about molecular weight, that's completely irrelevant to gas density.

Certainly can NOT, you mean.
Imagine you had a tub of air, calm still air separated from outside winds and currents.
Would it settle out in layers? No, not at any temperature above absolute zero.
Why? Because of gaseous diffusion.



Radon gas is heavier than air. Even heavier than carbon dioxide.
But it diffuses up from the ground and gets into basements. It's not done yet.
The radon does not sit in the bottom of the basement, it diffuses into room air due to... what? Class? Anybody? That's right, gaseous diffusion.

Once in the home's air, it's trapped to an extent. The walls and doors prevent further diffusion to outside air.
Best defense against radon is to open a window. Not to sweep the basement.

You're right, I chose my words poorly.  Sure overtime Diffusion happens, but in still enough conditions when gas is first released it will layer based on weight, although good luck getting it to relayer once you mix it up.  This can be seen with gasses like Propane which likes to stay at floor level, or Chlorine Which is even colored so you can watch it(not that anyone should play with Chlorine for fun).  You can even watch the top layer slowly wisp away.

You're talking about temperature differences though, not molecular weight differences.
Same exact thing would happen with liquid oxygen or liquid nitrogen or even liquid helium.
It'll settle because it's cold, then diffuse as it warms to ambient temp.

CO2 does not settle out of air.
Anybody who thinks it does, go collect a tray of it and post pics. :thumbup:
