im confused walk me through it from the intake side
Basically due to the negative pressure caused inside the air cooled chamber of the reflector i'm worried it might pull air through the edges of the glass.
What do you mean the splitter? If so it'll be in the room. I might rotate the main 90 degrees counter-clockwise and flip the splitter so the split goes on the other side and connect into that. Work better the way my openings are on the tent. (See image below)
Does the adhesive on that tape release any off-gassing into the tent? I imagine that glass gets hot? Thats a good solution though. I was going to line some foam where the hinged area is so it creates like a gasket.
i use silver foil tape and doubt u got any worries
I thought the fan should be as close to the filter as possible as thats the biggest factor of static pressure(resistance). It might not be a bad solution as the span im running is about 10 feet to the outside wall and I was fearing i'd need a small inline to keep the air going which is why I wanted to put all the exhaust(reflector and main) into one to increase the FPM of the air.
I added CO2, so my only exhaust air is the air that was used to cool the light. I vent 2 600's with a 6" fan and 6" duct. No problems with heat... but humidity gets a little high.
Judging by this comment it seems you think(for good reason now that im reading back i never mentioned it) im growing in a room but i'm growing in a tent in a room and those thick lines were tent walls. Does this change your response?
I think it'll be better to see what I need to do to seal it once its here. I hope the only cracks would be around the glass part where the hinge is
nope tent or room all the same
