What do you guys think of this drying tent setup?

I have it setup for force A/C air into a bottom vent, and have a passive vent going out of the top. One behavior I've noticed with this configuration is the A/C until will shutoff periodically. Because I have this big hose in front of out the output, it's tripping the "ice" sensor, which makes sense since it was not supposed to operate this way. This has the effect of the unit running for 10 or 15 minutes, then shutting down for 5 min or so. Do you guys think this will be a problem?

I also have a humidifier and humidistat in the tent. I'm able to achieve near 60% humidity and 60F degrees.

Is forcing the A/C air into the tent like this a bad idea? My garage will probably get upwards of 85F when I harvest with humidity in the 40s to 50s if I don't do this. I'm concerned about forcing too much air through the tent and drying the plants out too quickly. I climbed into the tent and I only really feel a "breeze" by my feet and right next to the exit vent.
