Using a fridge as a fruiting chamber..OVERHEATING!
    #5474508 - 04/03/06 12:48 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

It gets REALLY hot in there, even with two coolmists blowing into it. I have 6 little 7W garden lights in there (one for each shelf), and the temp is 82 degrees (and thats on a cool, spring day!)

My goal: to make everything automated.

This means freezing jugs of water and putting them in the FC is not gonna happen!

i could just put a A/C into the room, but will that really bring the fridge temp down? It's so insulated i cant imagine it having much of an affect..

So your using the fridge like a cooler? How about instead of freezing jugs just make a ice pack out of ice cubes? If the fridge isnt plugged in yeah running AC in the room would deff bring it down some.

Ya got to many WATTS of lights in it.

Go with 1 (or at most 2) lights).
(interior is WHITE & REFLECTS LIGHT)

Try to get small exterior Xmas type bulbs.



(foggy when all is running)

Run a cool mist, or FAE filter fan into it.


Enlarge the drain in the bottom.
(So, FAE can flow through)

I use sylvania 'cool burning' night light bulbs. 4W apiece. You can grab these things when they've been light for hours and they're just a little warm to the touch.

Also I use an internal circulation fan.

But if the room that the fridge is in, is 75+ degrees, you're not gonna get much cooler than that without taking extra measures.
