ah hell, I'm confused.
Someone tell me how much added heat will be produced in my 4'x4' tent with a 600w hps over ambient 70f
16.7743433 degrees.
lol.. j/k

Am I still misunderstanding you? lol
I thought I answered that. I'm certainly not an authority when it comes to this but if a 600Watt HPS produces approx 2100 BTUs of heat per hour, wouldn't it stand to reason that if I am running (3) of them that I'd need at least an 7-8k BTU of AC (if I were using a window AC) in the flower room to offset the heat they generate over an hour's time?
Everything I've read leads me to believe that this is the case.
...ok.
Further clarification: How much of that 2100 BTU is converted to heat (as opposed to the portion of energy that is converted to light)?
420, have you considered utilizing the co2 from hot water tank? I'm possibly going to add that into my space since there is a new tank in close proximity. There's also a gas floor furnace. Both vents are easy to tap with a Y in flow and use a 110 power damper linked to a co2 controller. If we ran the shower and did dishes and such at the time lights come on this could boost levels. Not so sure a burner or tank is needed except maybe later on in conjunction with the water tank vent. Anyone have experience using this method as supplemental source of co2 enrichment?
Another constraint for consideration would be a chiller for water. Both in cloner and nute res. Any thoughts for summer temps and the added ability to run on auto for days at a time. The chillers I remember that were best were homemade type.
Peace
You already have the condenser outside? Cause depending upon the tonnage, installing a an evaporator A coil on your furnace and condenser outside, 2600 doesnt seem like a bad price for install and materials.
Getting more estimates is always a good idea.
A good company doesnt just go by your square footage, they will do an energy audit. They need to take into account the amount of windows you have, how the home is insulated etc etc
what kind of lights are you using?
Completely understand. No condenser outside. Small dwelling. I bet I can get it done for less than 2. I'll keep you in the loop. Make sure you check back in puff. You seem to know your stuff and I like using you as a resource. Thank you.
