hi all i'm having a problem with my airconditioner freezing up on me when the temps outside are cool...............i can turn off the airconditioner and just let the fan run and it will melt the ice...........but then the temps rise in my flower tent.............this morning it is 27 degrees outside, now you'd think that when it's this temperature outside i wouldn't have to run the airconditioner at all just let it pull in the fresh cold air from outside right??? ..........well it doesn't work that way, ........... i think this is because an airconditioner cools the air in the room and exchanges the heat outside from the back of the airconditioner............. and i'm not sure if when i just put it on the fan mode that it's pulling the air from outside or if it is just recirculating the air in the room........... my guess is that it is only recirculating the air from inside the room. I'm thinking that i am going to have to change from an airconditioner that sits in the window to a fan that sits in the window to get access to this very cold outside air. i would have to build some kind of manifold and pipe the air into the tent which would be easy enough to do that's what i have on the airconditioner but my concern is with a window fan that that the light from the flower room woiuld escape and cause a security issue.............the airconditioner has 2 cooling coils or radiatiors and no light escapes out the back of it. but doing it with one of these cheap little window fans that sit in the window like an airconditioner my feeling is that light would escape.
the other alternative i have is to redesign my flower room and mount the airconditioner to the flower room ........... but wouldn't this just exchange the air to outside the flower tent heating up the rest of the room???? I mean the flower tent would be cool but the rest of the room would be hot wouldn't it
would anyone please give me a little advice or tips on your cooling secrets
p.s. i'm in an apartment so i cant go putting venting into the walls to the outside
thanks in advance for any replies
