Well, got my solid state relay on the way so I hope to hook this awesome fan up soon. I ran it at the 30 CFM and couldn't tell it was even on. Then when I ramped it up to 110 CFM, still couldn't tell it was on. I had to hold my hand over the output to feel the air to know it was actually doing anything.
Looking forward to installing this bad boy but figured no point in doing it yet until the SSR arrives so I can go ahead and run the wiring for it. Actually, now that I am writing this, I guess I could have the fan in place and the ethernet cord (rewiring that for the VDM to SSR cable) and have everything pre-installed, just waiting for the SSR.
Also, I ended up with a 1/3 HP chiller, when I wasn't even in the market for a chiller. But for the low, low price of $100, with 2 temperature controllers, how could I pass up on that? It'll definitely put a twist on my fan venting project. The whole point was to remove all the heat in the canopy and stand due to the equipment, but mainly due to the 1200 watts of MH lighting. The added benefit was moisture removal as well.
Now with a 1/3 HP chiller, heat won't be an issue regarding water temperature at least, though venting the hot air within the stand/canopy will keep the chiller from cycling on as much. I almost feel like just a continuous run of 30 CFM the whole time should remedy both heat and humidity if it's getting help with the chiller. Then again, the chiller puts out a lot of heat by itself. We'll just see I guess. I can keep running scenarios in my head but I think a real world test will determine the optimal setup.
