Hi everyone. This will be my 3rd year at the playa with a hexayurt and I've finally managed to build myself a swamp cooler (see Figjam's thread here: http://eplaya.burningman.com/viewtopic.php?f=280&t=33842&start=1500 ). I haven't decided if I'll have it outside of my yurt with the fan poking through a hole fit for it, or have it inside with a hole cut for the vent on the back of the cooler.. I'm figuring on trying both and see what works best.
My real question is, what should I do for exhaust? I have an HVAC furnace filter which is around 16" x 22" or something around that. I was thinking of cutting a hole for it on the opposite side of where I have my swamp cooler mounted, so I would hopefully get a cross breeze and passively exhaust out while the fan on the cooler is running. The fan I'm using on my swamp cooler is the Endless Breeze which is rated at 900CFM on high, but I'll probably be running it on low or medium which I'd imagine would be closer to 300-600CFM. Would there be enough pressure from this fan pushing air in to force air out the other side? Maybe I should go for two exhaust windows? I'm hoping someone out there has done something similar and can chime in :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
