hey guys not sure if this is the right place to post if not feel free to move or delete , so im having issues with heat i have 2 x 450 watt cfl which in my little space produce a lot of heat i have a large floor fan in but venting with an open door is going to be awkward so ive ordered 2 plug in extractor fans plus a filter , i plan to use one as intake and the other as extractor the question is where to place them as all the heat is down low and thats what i need gone so im thinking placing intake around 8 inches from the bottom of the door and the extractor around 24 inches from the bottom of the other door does this sound ok or do i need the extractor higher up i have about 6 ft in height my whole space is 2ft deep by 4ft wide and 6ft high im getting temps of 30c+ and had my bean dry up completely over night so need to get it right so any thoughts or ideas tips will be appreciated .

cheers Spicy
 
in a 2x4 an exhaust fan should be plenty,you have a fan inside circulating the air ?
in theory heat rises so extract at the top,intake if needed at the bottom opposing corners if you like.
:pighug:
 
the question is where to place them
Incoming inline fan placed "low", outgoing inline fan placed "high" (or the top) across from incoming. You could open one of the "high" cable socks across from extract as well.
Also lets double check that your filter has a higher cfm rating than the inline fan.

I,am guessing cfm is the flow rate (lol noob here) the fans are 100m3/hr and the filter is upto 200m3/hr hoping these are good enough wont need a long ducting between fan and filter as i can get a good air flow through the room my space is in to get rid of any heat just not wanting any light from space showing so need to keep it shut apart from checking/watering ect also a noob question but whats a high cable sock.
