I plan to locate a 12000BTU outdoor unit for a mini split in its own vented/carbon scrubbed box for steal reasons. This will be mounted indoors and vented up and out an open window. I will pull air from the same window for the cold side of this loop.. The nice thing is I can easily adapt this into my cold air return vent and hot air vents in the colder months, without worry that it is too cold outside that my A/C stops working thereby failing my closed growing environment cooling.
What is the airflow that I should shoot for to cool the out-door unit? 745 CFM 8" vents or 400 CFM 6" Vents? My hunch is that the 6" is enough.. But could a house HVAC tech answer. Help? CFM - BTU conversion formula? Anything? Crickets?
Thanks in advance.
